Today is the big day!
After I finished attending my son's recollection, I just waited for my husband to come home from his conference then at 12:30 pm we headed to AIM Conference Centre in Makati. We left early as we know how bad traffic can get here.
People were already filling up the room when we arrived. I saw many couples attending together, some were alone while others still had their luggage with them as they went straight from the airport and these Filipinos come from different parts of the Philippines and others are working overseas. At exactly 2 pm, one of the staff asked the registered applicants to line up and sign their signature on the white paper. After 15 minutes, the session started. All the companions were also accommodated inside so I was able to attend the session, too, though I didn't sign-up.
The session started with a video showing the province of New Brunswick. It highlighted NB's health care system, lifestyle, education, government, language, and employment. I fell in love with this province right away because I know what it offers are the things that my family needs. We love to experience waking up in a place where there are more trees, lakes, parks, and open spaces with fresh air. I want my children to have a world-class education. I want my husband and I to be in a working environment where our value as a worker are appreciated and well taken care of. I want to go back to school and learn some more. I want my family to see that part of the world. I want us to travel, to learn a new language, to immerse in their culture, to meet the locals, to celebrate new traditions, and to experience the four seasons. I want to live our dream. I want to be in New Brunswick.
The next part was the presentation of the new Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program. Jake Arbuckle went through all the requirements for this program. Once you registered to the sessions, your data will be captured on their database then the designated employers will coordinate with the NB immigration staff to assist them in hiring foreign workers.
These are the powerpoint presentation from the session:

The NB staff will go back in April to hold another information session with designated employers. I am not sure if these are two separate events: a new information session plus recruitment session with employers OR one information session for qualified applicants only from this session (February).
We want to be positive on getting an email or call from a designated employer soon. We are praying so hard for a good result. Plan B is just around the corner but we want to focus on this one first.
