[@karencremat3291]

Can’t wait for the house tour!!! 🤩 Can you make a video of either one of you commuting to work and a sneak peek of what you do at work. 👍🏼

Hi love the video! Can you make video about the quarantine days when coming to Canada. I watch some Vlogs saying that when you come to Canada they will quarantine you for 14 days like that.

[@BeaAndDaniel]

Glad you liked it! So one of our friends, her family actually went here a few weeks ago. And yes, they had to be quarantined for 14 days. The family stayed with our friend, so our friend had to stop working for 14 days as well to be quarantined with her family. Let us know if you have any follow up questions.😊

Hi, I'm also a Filipino. I just wanna ask if you're paying for your own tuition? And does the money came from your part time jobs? Also, can an upcoming student like me survive financially without asking money from my parents here in the Philippines. Thank you and looking forward on your answers. God bless to both of you.

Thanks for the video. During this pandemic, is it hard to look for a job to pay for my tuition? I need to pay around 12k for each semester. Is a coop program without PGWP worth it?

[@BeaAndDaniel]

Hey Mark! Tbh, you might have a tough time paying your tuition fee because you can only work a maximum of 20hrs per week. Plus, you have to pay for your living expenses as well, so it will be really tough. Hmmm not sure what you mean, but PGWP seems like the better choice 😊

Hey where do you stay in Toronto? Looks like you pay very affordable amount for apartment. I stay in downtown Toronto.

[@RopinxTV]

Yes highly likely agree take calculations hehe. Sir/mam how about family of 3 (wife student, hubby dependent and a preschool child), what's ur recommendations? in basement sir no danger for snow flooding, fire safety issues? thanks

[@BeaAndDaniel]

Hello there Ropinx! If you're planning to go to Toronto, I personally don't think snow flooding will be an issue, as we live in a apartment building with a basement below and never seen it have any problem. It will be better for you to stay with a relative first (if you have) then look for an apartment, so that you'll be able to guarantee that the apartment will be good for you. As for the budget, it really depends on how much you spend. If couple lang po maybe kaya na same budget with us, but with a kid I can't really estimate as we're not familiar with any expenses na related sa bata. Thank you po
