Wow Rachel!!! This is well-thought out!!! Kudos to you!!! I agree 💯 to all of your advice. I came to Canada because I know my purpose. I endured loneliness, homesickness, stress and anxiety of living in a foreign country. Doing research really helps talaga, it saves everyone from frauds and builds realistic approach to the process. We should apply critical thinking when it comes to this talaga. Gosh!! You are so empowering!! Girl yo slay!!! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Btw to viewers, PinoyCare does not have POAE license, i did more research about this agency, they dont have physical office, their CEO throws ad hominems instead of answering the complaints professionally. (Which is a red-flag) They hire celebrities and photoshop fake awards to make their company look legit. They have been exposed by Raffy Tulfo but I still don't understand how they're able to slip through the cracks. They can still operate despite being exposed. Nothing has been justified. I really agree that It's really important that your money is three times, four times even the actual budget because Canada is very expensive. Specially Toronto and Vancouver, they are 5x more expensive than my area. So far, you're one of the most realistic yt creators i've been following; let's face it, some yt creators take advantage and hype their viewers to something that is not feasible. Hindi maganda yan. You really inspire me to work hard and achieve my dreams. ✨💕✨💕✨💕✨💕✨💕✨💕✨💕 I'm seeing a hate comment but don't be demotivated my dear, the good ones outweigh the bad ones. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Please dont ever stop empowering people who want to reach their dreams. You're life changing. Good luck with your PR application 💕✨
Hi South Park Fan, Let me begin with WOW what an informative comment that you have left me. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your comment. Regarding Pinoycare, I agree. Agencies like this operate with greed and no regard for the Canadian immigration laws. Canadian immigration laws clearly state that it is illegal for unauthorized representatives to charge a fee (i.e. agencies). The reason why Canada distinguishes authorized representatives (immigration lawyers) and agents, is to protect Canadian immigration. Before I started my channel, I realized people were receiving a lot of misinformation from other content creators or from other people. I wanted to give a more balanced or accurate approach when it comes to immigration. I honestly appreciate your contribution to my channel. I noticed that you were a TikTok follower and now you are a UA-cam subscriber. It all started because a friend of yours got scammed by Pinoy Care. We had a conversation and we shared a common goal. You have no idea how much your support means to me☺😇🙏. Thank you SOOOOOOOO MUCH 🙃🙃😊😀
@@rrdancel keep on going girl ....i am also a student of higher certificate of my last year to college ..awaiting for my cambridge exams .i was thinking to come to canada to study as you say i must be financially prepared so i think i will come to canada as a worker for two years saved enough money then i will pursue my undergraduate studies..😢😢😢 as i have to depend on myself only.
You summed it up well! This episode is GOLD! Agree on everything you mentioned especially the misconception on lawyers being expensive. My wife and I availed the service of an immigration lawyer based in Toronto when we applied through the Express Entry route and we were surprised how their service fee was relatively cheaper compared to the agencies in the Philippines and I even compared sheets with a couple of friends who did their application through an agency in Dubai. It was 3x cheaper with the credibility of being an actual immigration lawyer in Canada. As for your 1st advice, I agree 200%! There are various pathways and people should do their research and choose which pathway is best suited for them. Also, having a concrete plan with a specific direction is the main thing in migrating. Congrats on your latest vlog! Hope this reaches more people so they can be guided and inspired as well. Your vlogs are always presented clearly and in a concise format. Thank you for this!
I noticed that you regularly contribute in my comment section. I appreciate that very much. It is great to know that you got here with help from an immigration lawyer. Many fear lawyers because misinformation from agencies. People are planning to come to here as a student and are going to pay at least $20,000 to live and study here yet they are hesitant to pay approximately $250 for consultation with a lawyer to know if they are qualified. This information usually comes from agencies back at home. They end up paying these agencies many times more for low quality and unauthorized work. Again, it’s super great that you are here in Canada with your wife. You deserve everything that you worked for!!! Thank you for your support it means a lot to me😊😊👍
@@rrdancel Hi, I think this video came to me at the right time. I am currently living in Botswana and I want my wife to study in Canada. Do you know any registered immigration lawyer that we can consult to help us on the process?
Just wanted to drop a thank you for your content. I appreciate how concise, on-point, and well-thought-out all your posts are. Gives me a lot of food for thought for our plans of moving to Canada.
You are a straight forward person in terms of giving advice. There's no sugar coating and i admire you for being real for sharing your true experience of your journey to Canada. Thank you.
This hits me hard!!! So true!! Coming to Canada is not only about hope and dreams. You really gotta be tough! Emotionally, mentally, physically and financially! I wish there was a vlog like this before I came here. Your vlogs are really informative and helpful to the viewers! Keep it up, Rach!! :) See you around here in Van City! Stay safe and God bless!
Although you've born in a different country than mine & now staying in a far away dreamland, I felt your video so close & dearly 😇 like from my own sister❣️ Turning your journey and it's ups & downs into a worthy lesson and making it a pathway to any other human being who's curious & looking for the way, is your Great Humanity❗🧘💖
Student from Australia here. I enjoy watching co Filipino students from Canada daming similarities. Yeah you're right! Its exact the same here in Melbourne. Gosh! I have to do things that I haven't done before. .. This video made me appreciate what I have in Melbourne. Cheers mate! Good luck sa atin!
Hi Kuya, Melbourne is a great city. I heard that Melbourne is the equivalent city to Vancouver. A fun fact about Aussies: about 50% of Whistler is made up of Aussies😀 But you are correct, you will save more studying in your home country. But, if you are considering coming over to work, you should check out the international experience class😀
Hi Rianne, I am so glad this video helped you with your journey to Canada. I make these videos for people like you so that you can be accurately informed. I appreciate your support and thank you for watching😊
I watched your video carefully and one word that I can say that, you are a strong woman to consider good and undefeatable. God bless your journey there.
Thank you for commenting and complimenting. Strength comes in many forms. It starts with your mindset. I hope that you can find your inspiration and follow your dreams! 😊
Wow! This is a well-curated video and I am loving your contents. I plan to go to Canada next year, September 2023 but being the breadwinner in the family, I have to postpone it for another year as I have to consider my finances. By the way, I am torn among Ontario, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan. I am actively looking for public schools and also considering cheap house rentals.
Hello Rachel, I happened to see your channel while searching for one of the potential immigration agencies who’s offering their service and expertise to me. I am having second thoughts in accepting their offer and was worried it is a fraud or I might be wasting my time and limited resources only to be rejected. ‘Been undecided if I should pursue work or study permit and I don’t know how to start. Out of curiosity and apprehension (even desperation), I clicked one of your videos to have an idea. All the facts and information I needed to know where covered. Finding your channel right at this very moment is a blessing in disguise. Continue to create more of this type of content and share more insights. It is very helpful. Thank you 😊 Keep it up!
Saw some of your newer videos before this and I can feel the anxiety you have while recording this one since this was the time you were still waiting for your PR status. With that, congrats on getting your PR! :) still, thank you for making this video, giving us caution and setting realistic expectations.
YOU ARE SO OBSERVANT! Yes, I was in Canada on a visitor status and waiting for my PR. It was quite nerve wracking and definitely scary. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and comment. Much appreciated!
Thank you, Rachel. I'm your fan. I keep watching your vids and I'm impressed. Hope to see you soon in Canada. I'm still processing and figuring what pathway to take.
Thank you for your video! this a huge help for me since I'm considering to take up the student pathway to go there. There are also really little "cons" videos regarding this matter and you've really highlighted the reasons for it. Thanks again!
I'm so glad I bumped into this video while I was researching. I actually decided to approach an agency because the information I got online was very overwhelming. You saved me from a bad decision!
Thank you so much!!! Your inputs and suggestions did really impact my preparation to Canadian journey . I know the road is not easy but if you do plan your path and stick with it. It will be worth it!! More videos to come!
Hi Vandof, Great point! Planning a route and then following through with it requires a lot of sacrifice and determination. But, there is potentially a great reward at the end of it. Hopefully it works out for you😄
@@rrdancel Thanks!! I just watched the replay of your livestream with your friends re part time jobs. Reality check!! Will be doing DIY as well 🥰 Take care and stay strong💪 ❤️
Yey! New video ❤️ I really like your videos the information that you give are really useful. And I also like that you mentioned on your previous video not just the bright side of the AIPP program. At least people will be more aware regarding that program. To more videos ❤️
Thank you for consistently supporting this channel by watching my videos. ❤️😊 that is my goal- to provide information backed up with data and analysis to give you guys the best option on how to come to Canada without sugarcoating the facts. See your comment reassures me that I’m doing something right so thank you 🥺🤗
@@rrdancel sure thing no problem ❤️ and to more videos ❤️ you should do more videos that has both pros and cons at least a lot of people will be more aware and yeah I find your videos both informative and I like your videos. Til your next video
Congratulations for all your content and especially this one! It's important to start preparing yourself mentally for all the changes and stress that is coming when looking to achieve the PR dream. You have a huge fan from Mexico! For next videos do you think you could talk more about the new Opportunity for NB Express Entry Stream for Students? Would love to know your point of view!
Hi Melissa, Thank you for watching. I will try to cover other PNP programs for international students. I will definitely keep the NB Express Entry Stream on my list.
thanks Ms Rachel, such a very informative video for some1 like me who's planning to work and live there in Canada. watching your videos is like a clear book for those who have a lots in their minds about getting info about immigration going to Canada. thanks😊👍👍💋
Hi Rachel! New subscriber...i really love your vlog Sooooo...INFORMATIVE. while watching your videos i found myself jotting down your TAKEAWAYS. Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️ god bless and stay safe!
I've been watching you lately and its so informative. My daughter and I is trying our best to research infos regarding student pathway before applying. I hope you continue sharing your knowledge to us. Thank you so much and keep safe Rachel ☺️
Hi Maria thank you so much for watching my latest video. I do have previous videos that detail my study permit to PR experience, you can browse on your free time. But yes I will continue to pump out more videos for you guys ❤️😊🤗
I've also signed up with an immigration agency and they signed me up for PR. There were false hopes made in the beginning. Along the way, I've realized that getting a PR while here in the Philippines is kind of next to impossible especially when my CRS score is below 400 points. It's true that we should conduct an extensive research 1st on which path to take. Thank you Rachel for your very informative videos. They're quite straightforward and would really make us think of a lof of considerations before pursuing an application to study/work/move to Canada.
I agree! At first, when I decided to continue my studies in Canada I want to get there fast and I thought that I can get there fast, but then I realized that it is not. So what I did was I researched a lot then planned for I guess more than 3 months on what steps I should do first which is finding a university and a program that I want, I'm still on that step tho haha. Then my research continues, as I joined a lot of groups in FB, watching your videos as well as other youtubers about their life and process of going to Canada made me realize that what I expected is not the reality in Canada just like what you have mentioned the lifestyle and funds, like I am just a student and don't have a lot of money hahaha. So now I am preparing myself a lot like how to budget money, the feeling of being away from my family and friends and stuff. Just wanted to share that haha. Thank you for this wonderful content!
Hi Icy, Great post. I really enjoyed reading your story. I particularly like how you shared that you experienced delays in finding schools and programs as this is a very challenging task for aspiring students. Money is always going to be an issue for most that want to come to Canada, so you are not alone. But, keep the hope alive as this is not an easy move. This move could change your life. So, its best to be informed each step of the way. You are on the right path in your journey. So keep it up. Again, I enjoyed reading every word that you wrote and sharing your experience on here for others to know. Thank you for watching my videos. 😀😀
Sa lahat ng vlogger eto talaga yung na pa wow ako sobra thank you ma’am for sharing your journey in Canada..sa mga pinoy na thousands ang ginagastos sa agency makapunta lng ng canada which is Meron naman way na Hindi ganun kalaki yung gastos..pinagkakakitaan nila yung mga kapwa nila pinoy..lalo na yung mga mapagsamantala at manloloko..
Thank you for a very informative video. Hope a lot of people back home can see this and do their research before doing their 1st step. Misconceptions between lawyer and agency that you mentioned was 100% correct. I have studied and compared that 11 years ago. Using lawyer was a lot cheaper and information about Canadian Government and requirements were updated. Me and my family been living in Toronto for the last 11 years and would say the best decision we made.
My belief is that if you can’t DIY, then you should get an immigration lawyer. It’s nice to know that you are here and it’s been more than 11 years. I wish you and your family continue your happy life living in Toronto. PS. Thank you for supporting my channel😋
Personal testimony is the effective way of influencing or sharing. Thanks for this very informative yet realistic presentation for majority of dreamers. Excitement drives one to file application. Only to find out that financial resources are insufficient to sustain the completion of the program specifically under student visa
I 100% agree with you. There is so much misinformation on here that I felt the need to provide correct information. Thank you for sharing your comments with others to read.
Very well said. Thank you for a very informative contents! We are Immigration Consultancy firm based in Toronto. And we keep explaining to our clients that there’s a big dffrnc between an agency and a consultancy office 😊.
Hope that one of this days you will receive your PR. Love your content it gives us idea's specially me that is currently working on my stundent visa application
Hi Michael, Thank you for watching my videos. I hoped it helped you with your study permit application. I will be focusing on the student to PR pathway. So, it may be useful for you in the long run. 😄
I believe according to the immigration requirements for all programs you should be tremendously rich before you think to come to Canada and in the same time you are well experienced & professional but that is barely possible because when you have money you are not professional and when you are professional you don't have money but to have both it is too difficult, that's why I believe Canada although it's so big and wide but they don't want to fill it fast because actually I think areas where it is proper for living are little. But we didn't know this from the beginning as no body would tell us the truth in order to get some money from us or maybe they don't understand too until we do it ourselves, I did pretty wide research and read much more information to finally get to know it is not for me but thanks for God I didn't lose a lot . For you now after you spent all the power you have and all help factors you need to start working for years to compensate. Hope that miserable guy appeared in the very beginning can help in this regard just for your own greater good. What was your study program?
AWWWW thanks for noticing the detail I try to put in all my videos. You’ve got a keen eye as well 😉 thank you for listening to my inspirational gibberish 🥰❤️
So inspiring vid. Thanks for this! Regarding the hardships, does it make any difference if I will be living with my family there? Do you have someone there when you migrated?
It makes a world of difference if you can live with family here. Accommodation is one of the most expensive things you will encounter as a student. I stayed with my aunt when I was living here. I worked part time during my semester and managed to save quite a bit of money. I am using that savings now to live off of. I hope that helps and thank you for watching my video 😀
I love watching your videos! I really want to migrate to Canada since my bf will be staying there na for good (he’s currently under SP and about to get his pgwp na and will work towards getting his PR soon). Ive been doing my own research every now and then but oftentimes get overwhelmed with all the info 🤯🤯 glad i discovered your channel , it really helped me a lot! Wanna ask lang how global talent stream works? Its for employers lang right? My NOC Code kasi is on the global talent list, so should I research on employers under this list? Cant seem to find them online tho :(( thanks a lot and more power to you and your channel🥰
Thank you! I feel that as long as I get my message across, I can help someone else not make my mistakes! 😜Knowledge is better shared 🤗❤️ Immigration agencies are scary as they’re illegal if they charge clients for immigration advice 🥺☹️
@@rrdancel Was actually about to sign something. Then i saw your vid, got me thinking twice HAHAHA 🙊Guess i have to do moooore research. But really, thanks tho! ❤️
Pakshitt. You are superb. You really got me. Yung nag kwekwento ka lang pero na iimagine ko na sarili ko dyan. Ang galing nyo po. Thank you for being authentic when in terms of experiences and lessons. You’re my fave now 😊
Pakshit, kinabahan ako sa first word mo 😂😂😂 but woooow it just got better and better when I read on 😭📈❤️ Thank you for your blunt and encouraging words. This is why I do what I do 🤗🤗
Awww you're so sweet, thank you! I try to keep things clear and concise. Immigration agencies are a no no for me just because they are unauthorized to give legal advice on visa applications. But if it's an education agency, then that's ok since they are able to connect you with schools in Canada. :)
@@rrdancel Hey again Rachel! I would love to hear your priceless advice, If you have time I left a message both on IG and FB 🙏🙏🙏 Looking forward more on your future vids, be safe kabayan!
Hi Rachel. I really love how you help us with all these information. 💕 I’m looking forward to try for Canadian visa for my masters degree. Can I work and study at a time and still be financially stable ? (Like paying my own bills and Tuition fees)
Hi Rachel have always wanted to come.to canada for post grad studies. Have watched all your tiktok videos and am currently going through your youtube videos to. Really informative. Thank you Soo much. You've stressed on one having enough funds. Aren't there programs that offer scholarships?
Hi dear, happy to see my content has been helpful to you in starting your journey in Canada 🥰 Yes there are plenty of scholarships to apply for, so that’s definitely something worth looking into when applying to your chosen school 🥰 Just ensure that international students are eligible for that application 👍☺️ there’s even a school I covered recently on my channel that’s generous with giving grants and subsiding it’s students ☺️
I can definitely recommend you one. Please send me an email request to rrdancel@canxvisa.com. Please describe what legal services you are looking for and I can try to connect you with the right immigration lawyer.
In 2004 I wrote a somewhat famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. In short, the Canadian authorities tried to destroy my life. They made it so that I could not be employable in Canada. So I moved to the U.S. in 2005 and then some years later I moved permanently to the Philippines. I am happy that so many years later videos like yours are saying essentially the same things that I did. I was ahead of my time. I will never go back to Canada. Not to live, not to visit, not even a connecting flight. Too cold, too expensive, taxes are astronomical, no freedom, no jobs, no opportunities, xenophobic people, too depressing. It has become the North Korea of the western world.
Hi Camille! Oh no way, I was just at KPU a couple days ago vlogging for my upcoming video. I loveeeeee the new film building, it's so artsy fartsy :P Happy to also see a fellow Filipino designer, represent!!
Hi Micaela, I will being contacting immigration lawyers soon. I want to screen them prior to listing their services that is tailored to help out foreigners. Stay tuned!😊
Hi rachell very good information through this video . Is it ok to go through an immigration consultant in Canada or have a immigration lawyer which one would be helpful can you please let me know
There is 14 days quarantine mandatory even if you have no symptoms. my question is, is it acceptable if I quarantine at home when I get there because it's expensive to rent an apartment so we decide to quarantine at home rather than make an arrangement in any quarantine facilities. Thank you In advance. So much appreciated.
Hi Maria, I am not too sure on the specific requirements of quarantined accommodation. You can check out the quarantine plan on the government website for incoming travellers😊
Hi Rachel! I’m from the Philippines as well and I've been watching your videos since I'm also planning to study in Canada. Can you recommend an immigration lawyer/firm who can help? :)
Hi Dear, I have a legal referral system set up on my website: canxvisa.com. Please click on the tab that says “Need Legal Help?” Once you fill that out, I will review and send to a couple lawyers and see which one can take on your file. Hope that helps.
I know it is very traditional to help family out back in the Philippines, But I seen lots of Filipinos get caught up in family members back home want more from the ones in Canada pressures to send money back right away , it takes a bit of time to adjust for example if you worked in the medical field you need to upgrade , What happens is som3 get caught up in working 2 or 3 jobs at lower wages t9 support family and at the same time getting into debt ,Sometimes you just have to tell family you need a couple of years to upgrade your job level ,
Hello dear!! Sending you good energy from Vancouver 😊🤗 happy to see my channel reach your country, Thank you for watching this video and for your support ✨❤️
@@rrdancel im in the process to apply for study permit in Vancouver, CA. Your videos are a reality check. Tells me what to expect. It would be nice if you could do a video on affordable quarantine areas in Vancouver for incoming intl students. #justaword
Thank you so much for your suggestion. I’ll add that to my list of topics to discuss later on in my channel ❤️🤗 All the best to your journey to come to Vancouver! Keep me posted, I’m based there too 😜
I have been getting a lot of request to find lawyers to help people in their journey to Canada. I will see if I can do something for you guys. But, for now, you can simply google Canadian Immigration lawyers. 😄😀

Btw to viewers, PinoyCare does not have POAE license, i did more research about this agency, they dont have physical office, their CEO throws ad hominems instead of answering the complaints professionally. (Which is a red-flag) They hire celebrities and photoshop fake awards to make their company look legit.
They have been exposed by Raffy Tulfo but I still don't understand how they're able to slip through the cracks. They can still operate despite being exposed. Nothing has been justified.
I really agree that It's really important that your money is three times, four times even the actual budget because Canada is very expensive. Specially Toronto and Vancouver, they are 5x more expensive than my area.

Hi Vandof,
Great point! Planning a route and then following through with it requires a lot of sacrifice and determination. But, there is potentially a great reward at the end of it. Hopefully it works out for you😄
Thank you Rachel. I keep watching your videos, I’m planning to apply study permit this year😊 Thank you so much for all the tips and advices.

See your comment reassures me that I’m doing something right so thank you 🥺🤗
@@rrdancel sure thing no problem ❤️ and to more videos ❤️ you should do more videos that has both pros and cons at least a lot of people will be more aware and yeah I find your videos both informative and I like your videos. Til your next video
Congratulations for all your content and especially this one! It's important to start preparing yourself mentally for all the changes and stress that is coming when looking to achieve the PR dream. You have a huge fan from Mexico!
For next videos do you think you could talk more about the new Opportunity for NB Express Entry Stream for Students? Would love to know your point of view!
Hi Melissa,
Thank you for watching. I will try to cover other PNP programs for international students. I will definitely keep the NB Express Entry Stream on my list.
thanks Ms Rachel, such a very informative video for some1 like me who's planning to work and live there in Canada. watching your videos is like a clear book for those who have a lots in their minds about getting info about immigration going to Canada. thanks😊👍👍💋
I’m here because of your tiktok videos ☺️ I subscribed right away hehe
Wooohooo I’m glad to see you migrated to my other social media platforms awwww you’re the sweetest ❤️🥰 Thank you 🤗💕
Great ending advice. I liked the realistic roadblocks you mentioned.
Thank you so much for watching until the end and getting my drift 🤗❤️
Hi Rachel! New subscriber...i really love your vlog Sooooo...INFORMATIVE. while watching your videos i found myself jotting down your TAKEAWAYS. Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️ god bless and stay safe!
I've been watching you lately and its so informative. My daughter and I is trying our best to research infos regarding student pathway before applying. I hope you continue sharing your knowledge to us.
Thank you so much and keep safe Rachel ☺️
Hi Maria thank you so much for watching my latest video. I do have previous videos that detail my study permit to PR experience, you can browse on your free time. But yes I will continue to pump out more videos for you guys ❤️😊🤗
I've also signed up with an immigration agency and they signed me up for PR. There were false hopes made in the beginning. Along the way, I've realized that getting a PR while here in the Philippines is kind of next to impossible especially when my CRS score is below 400 points. It's true that we should conduct an extensive research 1st on which path to take. Thank you Rachel for your very informative videos. They're quite straightforward and would really make us think of a lof of considerations before pursuing an application to study/work/move to Canada.
I agree! At first, when I decided to continue my studies in Canada I want to get there fast and I thought that I can get there fast, but then I realized that it is not. So what I did was I researched a lot then planned for I guess more than 3 months on what steps I should do first which is finding a university and a program that I want, I'm still on that step tho haha. Then my research continues, as I joined a lot of groups in FB, watching your videos as well as other youtubers about their life and process of going to Canada made me realize that what I expected is not the reality in Canada just like what you have mentioned the lifestyle and funds, like I am just a student and don't have a lot of money hahaha. So now I am preparing myself a lot like how to budget money, the feeling of being away from my family and friends and stuff.
Just wanted to share that haha. Thank you for this wonderful content!
Hi Icy,
Great post. I really enjoyed reading your story. I particularly like how you shared that you experienced delays in finding schools and programs as this is a very challenging task for aspiring students. Money is always going to be an issue for most that want to come to Canada, so you are not alone.
But, keep the hope alive as this is not an easy move. This move could change your life. So, its best to be informed each step of the way. You are on the right path in your journey. So keep it up.
Again, I enjoyed reading every word that you wrote and sharing your experience on here for others to know.
Thank you for watching my videos. 😀😀
@@rrdancel ❤️❤️❤️
Sa lahat ng vlogger eto talaga yung na pa wow ako sobra thank you ma’am for sharing your journey in Canada..sa mga pinoy na thousands ang ginagastos sa agency makapunta lng ng canada which is Meron naman way na Hindi ganun kalaki yung gastos..pinagkakakitaan nila yung mga kapwa nila pinoy..lalo na yung mga mapagsamantala at manloloko..
Muchas gracias me parece un video muy ilustrativo, directo y facil de seguir
Thank you for a very informative video. Hope a lot of people back home can see this and do their research before doing their 1st step.
Misconceptions between lawyer and agency that you mentioned was 100% correct. I have studied and compared that 11 years ago. Using lawyer was a lot cheaper and information about Canadian Government and requirements were updated. Me and my family been living in Toronto for the last 11 years and would say the best decision we made.
My belief is that if you can’t DIY, then you should get an immigration lawyer.
It’s nice to know that you are here and it’s been more than 11 years. I wish you and your family continue your happy life living in Toronto.
PS. Thank you for supporting my channel😋
Love you, Ate!!! Thank you so much for this 💗💗💗 will be praying for your PR!!! You got this 🤗
Hi Patricia,
Thank you for your support and prayers. You have been very kind and supportive of my channel and I appreciate that very much. 😀
@@rrdancel super love your content Ate!!! 💗🥺 Thank you also for all the help you're giving for free! 😩🙏🏼
Personal testimony is the effective way of influencing or sharing. Thanks for this very informative yet realistic presentation for majority of dreamers. Excitement drives one to file application. Only to find out that financial resources are insufficient to sustain the completion of the program specifically under student visa
I 100% agree with you. There is so much misinformation on here that I felt the need to provide correct information. Thank you for sharing your comments with others to read.
Very well said. Thank you for a very informative contents! We are Immigration Consultancy firm based in Toronto. And we keep explaining to our clients that there’s a big dffrnc between an agency and a consultancy office 😊.
Hope that one of this days you will receive your PR.
Love your content it gives us idea's specially me that is currently working on my stundent visa application
Hi Michael,
Thank you for watching my videos. I hoped it helped you with your study permit application. I will be focusing on the student to PR pathway. So, it may be useful for you in the long run. 😄
I like you and your videos. I just subscribed and followed you on IG..:) best of luck on your PR app💕
Ann, you made my day. Thank you and I very much appreciate you for doing so😊🙂🙂🥰
You explain so well, the pros and cons. 👍👍👍👍very helpful.
Glad you think so! 😊😜
I believe according to the immigration requirements for all programs you should be tremendously rich before you think to come to Canada and in the same time you are well experienced & professional but that is barely possible because when you have money you are not professional and when you are professional you don't have money but to have both it is too difficult, that's why I believe Canada although it's so big and wide but they don't want to fill it fast because actually I think areas where it is proper for living are little.
But we didn't know this from the beginning as no body would tell us the truth in order to get some money from us or maybe they don't understand too until we do it ourselves, I did pretty wide research and read much more information to finally get to know it is not for me but thanks for God I didn't lose a lot .
For you now after you spent all the power you have and all help factors you need to start working for years to compensate. Hope that miserable guy appeared in the very beginning can help in this regard just for your own greater good.
What was your study program?
It was so detailed. Thankyou! Btw I really love your thoughts and yeah ur accent too😆 Keep safe Always! God bless
AWWWW thanks for noticing the detail I try to put in all my videos. You’ve got a keen eye as well 😉 thank you for listening to my inspirational gibberish 🥰❤️
Thats great thanks alot for sharing your experience in Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you for listening 🤗❤️
Awesome rachel!!! I love your videos and it's really informative ^_^ Thanks for sharing your experience as an international student. Take care!
Thank you for finding my videos informative! I really try 🥺❤️ anything to make other’s lives less difficult 😊
So inspiring vid. Thanks for this! Regarding the hardships, does it make any difference if I will be living with my family there? Do you have someone there when you migrated?
It makes a world of difference if you can live with family here. Accommodation is one of the most expensive things you will encounter as a student.
I stayed with my aunt when I was living here. I worked part time during my semester and managed to save quite a bit of money. I am using that savings now to live off of.
I hope that helps and thank you for watching my video 😀
Thank you Rachel for giving us a heads up! Gusto ko yung pag ka direct ng content mo giving us straight to the point info. Kudod girl!
Thank you so much Daisy for watching and for finding my content straightforward and concise, as it should 🤗❤️😜
I’m so inspired! Thanks for this ❤️
Awwww this really means a lot to me, thank you so much🤗
Hi rachel, thanks for your inspiring message. im already here in Canada as foreign worker. Nxt step will be the PR process.
You can do it!
@@rrdancel Hi rachel, Im looking consultant for my PR , seeking your advise . Hoping I can get ur response
I love watching your videos! I really want to migrate to Canada since my bf will be staying there na for good (he’s currently under SP and about to get his pgwp na and will work towards getting his PR soon). Ive been doing my own research every now and then but oftentimes get overwhelmed with all the info 🤯🤯 glad i discovered your channel , it really helped me a lot! Wanna ask lang how global talent stream works? Its for employers lang right? My NOC Code kasi is on the global talent list, so should I research on employers under this list? Cant seem to find them online tho :(( thanks a lot and more power to you and your channel🥰
Thanks for highlighting different pathways.
Thank you so much for your kind comments on my channel, I really appreciate it 😊❤️
Liked the honest thoughts. rare in this given day and world

Thank you for listening and for your time! I’m glad it helped ☺️💕
Thank You Maam For Sharing Good Advice.. It Helps a lot
My pleasure! Happy New Year!😊
You're really helping a lot here, which is awesome! Got kinda scared when you said dont trust agencies o_o
Thank you! I feel that as long as I get my message across, I can help someone else not make my mistakes! 😜Knowledge is better shared 🤗❤️ Immigration agencies are scary as they’re illegal if they charge clients for immigration advice 🥺☹️
@@rrdancel Was actually about to sign something. Then i saw your vid, got me thinking twice HAHAHA 🙊Guess i have to do moooore research. But really, thanks tho! ❤️
Thanks Rachel. This is great info
Thanks so much, this really work for me 😗
Your videos are very inspiring 😊🙏 Thanks for sharing.
So nice of you 😊
Pakshitt. You are superb. You really got me. Yung nag kwekwento ka lang pero na iimagine ko na sarili ko dyan. Ang galing nyo po. Thank you for being authentic when in terms of experiences and lessons. You’re my fave now 😊
Pakshit, kinabahan ako sa first word mo 😂😂😂 but woooow it just got better and better when I read on 😭📈❤️ Thank you for your blunt and encouraging words. This is why I do what I do 🤗🤗
Hi Ms Rachel, I really like the way you speak.. Simple and full of sense.. So Agency is really a no no?
Awww you're so sweet, thank you! I try to keep things clear and concise. Immigration agencies are a no no for me just because they are unauthorized to give legal advice on visa applications. But if it's an education agency, then that's ok since they are able to connect you with schools in Canada. :)
Thanks a lot for the information 👍🏼love your videos about information you Normally wouldn't get.
Glad you like them!
very genuine advise, thank you Rach
Thank you for your sharing of your valuable information 🙏😊!
Thank you for leaving your wonderful comment!
As always, a very helpful vid indeed!
Thank you so much for watching it really means a lot to me 🤗🥺

Hi Miss Rachel, hearing your videos really inspires me to at least try my luck. Godbless and keep safe.
Best of luck! Keep the faith and you will get to where you are going.
Hi Rachel. I really love how you help us with all these information. 💕
I’m looking forward to try for Canadian visa for my masters degree. Can I work and study at a time and still be financially stable ? (Like paying my own bills and Tuition fees)
It's quite impossible to work and pay down tuition and living expense. I give a full explanation on my video "Truth About Working..."
Hi! I really like the video that you shared it’s so helpful
Hi Andhreleine,
Thank you for watching my video. I hoped that it helps you in your journey!

@@rrdancel take your time!! 🤍🤍
So inspiring! Thanks!
Thanks for being here! Glad it helped 💕
Hi Rachel have always wanted to come.to canada for post grad studies. Have watched all your tiktok videos and am currently going through your youtube videos to. Really informative. Thank you Soo much.
You've stressed on one having enough funds. Aren't there programs that offer scholarships?
Hi dear, happy to see my content has been helpful to you in starting your journey in Canada 🥰
Yes there are plenty of scholarships to apply for, so that’s definitely something worth looking into when applying to your chosen school 🥰 Just ensure that international students are eligible for that application 👍☺️ there’s even a school I covered recently on my channel that’s generous with giving grants and subsiding it’s students ☺️
thanks for the info sis, it really helps a lot to me and to others as well and om sure
Glad it was helpful!
Hi! Real informative video. Loved it! Can you recommend an immigration lawyer? :)
I can definitely recommend you one. Please send me an email request to rrdancel@canxvisa.com. Please describe what legal services you are looking for and I can try to connect you with the right immigration lawyer.
very informative!!!! thank you so much!!
You are so welcome! ☺
In 2004 I wrote a somewhat famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. In short, the Canadian authorities tried to destroy my life. They made it so that I could not be employable in Canada. So I moved to the U.S. in 2005 and then some years later I moved permanently to the Philippines. I am happy that so many years later videos like yours are saying essentially the same things that I did. I was ahead of my time. I will never go back to Canada. Not to live, not to visit, not even a connecting flight. Too cold, too expensive, taxes are astronomical, no freedom, no jobs, no opportunities, xenophobic people, too depressing. It has become the North Korea of the western world.
Why why why
Thanks so much for your advice
Hi Ssemorgerere,

May i know also any recommended immigration lawyer?
thanks for this!
Hi rachell very good information through this video . Is it ok to go through an immigration consultant in Canada or have a immigration lawyer which one would be helpful can you please let me know
There is 14 days quarantine mandatory even if you have no symptoms. my question is, is it acceptable if I quarantine at home when I get there because it's expensive to rent an apartment so we decide to quarantine at home rather than make an arrangement in any quarantine facilities.
Thank you In advance.
So much appreciated.
Hi Maria,
I am not too sure on the specific requirements of quarantined accommodation. You can check out the quarantine plan on the government website for incoming travellers😊
@@rrdancel thank you po
Hi Rachel! I’m from the Philippines as well and I've been watching your videos since I'm also planning to study in Canada. Can you recommend an immigration lawyer/firm who can help? :)
Hi Dear,
I have a legal referral system set up on my website: canxvisa.com. Please click on the tab that says “Need Legal Help?” Once you fill that out, I will review and send to a couple lawyers and see which one can take on your file. Hope that helps.
Hi! Lovely video💕
Do you know any legal advisor from Canada Immigration you can recommend?
Hi Anna, I would recommend immigration lawyers. I don’t have any that I work with. But, you can google search for lawyers in Canada 🇨🇦😊
worth watching. thank you :)
Thank youuuu for commenting such nice words 😊❤️
I know it is very traditional to help family out back in the Philippines, But I seen lots of Filipinos get caught up in family members back home want more from the ones in Canada pressures to send money back right away , it takes a bit of time to adjust for example if you worked in the medical field you need to upgrade , What happens is som3 get caught up in working 2 or 3 jobs at lower wages t9 support family and at the same time getting into debt ,Sometimes you just have to tell family you need a couple of years to upgrade your job level ,
