I read Terms and condition for Unity - hindi kasama pre-existing conditions. Waitign period is 12-24 months for their highest cover.
Eh kung tumatanda na parents natin, panigurado marami na pre-existingconditions like high blood etc....
Kung hindi cover ng health insurance ang pre-existing conditions... ano pa silbi ng health insurance?
Pano kung may high blood at dinala sa GP ? - hindi cover ng health insurance yung GP service fee at kung kailangan ng mga blood test or lab test ?
Meron po ba dio nakapag share na na nag claim sa health insurance ang parents nila while on tourist visa ?

Meron na ba sa inyo nakapagtry na iapply ang parents ng tourist visa (tourist stream) then after few months nagapply din kapatid ng tourist visa (kaso family sponsored stream)?
Nagsubmit kasi kapatid ko ng family-sponsored TV na di muna nagtatanong sakin. Ayun, kelangan ko tuloy magprovide ng form 1149. Tinanong ko dito sa immigration kung considered ba akong sponsor nung time na inapply ko ng tourist visa mom ko kahit na tourist stream ang inapply ko sa kanya. Ang sagot sakin “by blood” daw ay sponsor ako. Hihihi… Pero this time daw sa case ng kapatid ko, since family-sponsored ang inaapply nya, kelangan nga ng form 1149. And for me to be eligible to become an sponsor, I need to be at least 2 years PR na to do this.
Meron ba dito na less than 2 years pa lang PR ay nakapagsponsor na ng tourist? Thanks

Medyo kulang sila ng info about the process, people advised me to just wait. Medyo confusing lang kase bka nman sila e may hinihintay din fr me.

He wanted to go back again by January as he was helping me with some business venture. Im just wondering if ok lang mag apply agad ng visa or have to wait for 6mos pa?
Is immigration lenient when it comes to parents' visa?
Any first hand experience? Thanks
