    Dear Mr. Apol,
    What do you think, is this good or bad. Two ecas massages:
    "We received your application for permanent residence on March 22, 2010.

    Your application and supporting documents were received by the Vienna office. They are pending review.

    We transferred your application to the Vienna office on March 30, 2010. The Vienna office may contact you.

    Your application was reviewed and we started processing on July 22, 2010.

    A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision."
    Second:
    "We received your application for permanent residence on February 15, 2010.

    We reviewed your application and sent you a letter on March 24, 2010. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

    Your application and supporting documents were received by the Vienna office. They are pending review.

    We transferred your application to the Vienna office on March 30, 2010. The Vienna office may contact you.

    Thank you

    Apol said...

    Sorry for a super late reply.

    1. to qualify as pharmacist, you need to be registered pharmacist.

    2. applications filed after june 26 are being returned unprocessed.

    3. if your occupation is not in the current priority list, you need a job offer to be eligible.

    4. nurse from davao: based on the info you provided, it appears you are eligible. email me if interested to get our service aapuntar@go2canada.com

    5. a new list will be released june 2011, IT related jobs may be included again.

    so there. did i miss anything?

    Just go to CIC Davao branch. CIC has a branch here. I'm also from Davao and have inquired from their office here. It is in front of Davao Doctors Hospital in Quirino Ave. Exactly in front of Merco. Unfortunately for me, IT positions is not in their in-demand-list for now. This is why I'm thinking also of Aussie. Mas marami in demand list for Skilled profession nila compared with Canada at wala pang show money. Processing is also 6 to 12 months.
