The multiple entry visa, which is usually issued for the life of the passport, allows the holder to enter Canada as often as necessary within the period of validity. This is the most standard type of TRV. Holders need to understand that any multipleentry visa or single-entry visa is not a guarantee of admission. Each admission is subject to an will come in next week when school staff returns from summer break. One important aspect of the Bilingual Language Programs is that transportation is provided free of charge for students who live outside the school catchment area when attending one of these bilingual programs.

However, I would like to point out that research has shown time and time again that there are several benefits to having children examination by CBSA officers who require an explanation of the temporary purpose of the visit. If you are coming to visit, you are not coming to work, study, or find a marriage partner. learn two or more languages simultaneously. Studies have shown evidence that children who learn two or more languages in childhood have better cognitive development. Because they are able to switch between languages, they develop more flexible approaches to thinking through problems. The ability to read and think in two or more languages promotes higher levels of abstract thought, which is important in learning.

Following admission to Canada, the holder can apply for an extension of the six-month stay. It should be submitted online 30 days before the expiration and there is no guarantee that it will be granted. If you follow this instruction, you are able to remain beyond the expiration date under assumed or implied status awaiting the outcome of your application for a visa extension. You cannot work without obtaining permission to do so and you should be aware that, at present, visitors can apply for a work permit if they have an approved job offer (Labour Market Impact Assessment or LMIA job offer).

Aside from academic benefits of learning languages, being bilingual supports children in maintaining strong ties with their family, culture, and community. All of these are key parts of a child’s developing identity. Bilingual children are also able to make new friends and create strong relationships using their second language – an important skill in our increasingly diverse society.

PE: You’re also from the Philippines. What is your personal view of the bilingual program?

PO: As an immigrant from the Philippines myself, I am very excited about my appointment at Meadows West School to help spearhead, develop, and implement the Filipino Bilingual Program within the Winnipeg

In general, you should apply for a study permit before you enter Canada. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. If you are in the country on a work permit, you can apply for a change to a study permit from inside the country. However, you must ensure that you are admitted to a course of studies at an educational institution on the list of Designated Learning Institutions (DLI), where graduates are able to apply for a Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP). If this is not the case, then the course of studies has no value in supporting your future application for permanent residence inside the country. It is also important to note that visitors can pursue an educational program that is shorter than six months in duration and do not require a study permit.

It is also possible for sponsored partners or spouses abroad to apply for a TRV. Immigration can be flexible in such cases and will not refuse the request based on dual intent. However, it is important that applicants be aware that the intention of all temporary immigration, whether for a visit, for work, or for study, is to come to the country for a temporary purpose and return home once the purpose has been met. The more flexible adjudication has led to around 98 per cent approvals but applicants must be aware of the intent of their stay in Canada. You must tell the truth but be aware that your future choices are subject to change and flexibility. The TRV is open to applicants from visa-required countries, but you should be aware of your options as a visitor, student, or worker.

School Division. With the many academic, social, and cultural benefits of being bilingual, I encourage our Filipino families with children in Kindergarten and Grade 1 to consider registering their children to be part of the Filipino Bilingual Program.

It is my firm belief that every child deserves a quality education that will allow them to flourish as well-rounded individuals. Students must always be the centre of all school-related decisions. As an educator, I think that we should not only aim to teach minds, but more important, we should aim to touch hearts and transform lives. It is very important to me that everyone in the school feels a sense of community and are excited to come to school.

This school environment will allow opportunities to work collaboratively and achieve academic excellence in a positive, fun, and nurturing environment. Education is a life-long process and I look forward to being part of your child’s learning journey – and learning with them in the process.

August 28, 2023, marked the National Heroes’ Day in the Philippines. First promulgated in Republican Act No. 3827 on October 28, 1931, it is an annual commemoration to celebrate the beginning of the Philippine Revolution, which began in August 1896. While initially observed on the last Sunday of every August, this was changed in 2007 to the last Monday. The original Act does not specify who is to be celebrated on this day, but it has frequently included major figures such as Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, and others. There is a common practice, though, to also recognize so-called “ordinary” Filipinos, ranging from unknown soldiers who fought and died for the Philippines to modern workers overseas.

The Philippines is a state and society that places great importance on its national heroes. In June this year, I wrote on the dynamics of history and memory in the celebration of Andres Bonifacio and how this was affected by the political climate of the time. In that article, I quoted L. S. Stavrianos as saying that each generation rewrites its history because it asks new questions of its past. As I reflect upon National Heroes’ Day, and on the question of heroes more generally, I remember a passage I read years ago by Ambeth Ocampo in his book Meaning and History: “[History] MUST have saysay or meaning. If we find meaning in history, then it will gain the power to change our lives. Saysay gives us a way of looking at the world, a Filipino viewpoint that
