Another client is going to Canada soon
Here's a timeline for the work permit application of one of my clients. He finished a Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering and has been working as weldre for the last 10 years. He got a job offer from an employer in Canada as construction laborer. I'm not sure how he got the job offer, I just assisted him on his work permit application at the Canadian Embassy in Manila.
[June 17, 2008] Application forms and supporting documents sent to Canadian Embassy via courier. To schedule pick up of your application, you must contact embassy call center at tel number 1(909)101-8888 for PLDT/SMART/Touchcard; 1(903)101-8888 for Bayantel or 1(900)101-8888 for Globe/Innove/Touchmobile. Customer Service Representatives are available to assist you Mondays to Fridays from 6am to 8pm and Saturdays 8am to 6pm. These numbers are only available to callers within the Philippines through touchtone phones with NDD access or through your telephone service provider’s operator-assisted connection. All landline calls are charged a toll call charge costing P32.00 (pesos) per minute excluding VAT and applicable NDD charges for calls made outside Metro Manila. It is best to call between 6am to 7am or 7pm to 8pm to save on cost.
