I totally agree with Karito. I got my landing date and will be July 24th in Calgary. The process will be completed in about 16 months for me. I has been (and still is) a long wait but I am happy and grateful to be here. The hardest thing for me was waiting for the OWP, I could not stand being...

Now I see. Maybe the lawyer was referring to the second email (the appointment?) and not the actual landing date. I know perfectly well that I have no privileges because I used a lawyer. And I knew that BEFORE I applied for PR. In none of my messages I stated that I should have a shorter...

Where did you get this information? My lawyer said the waiting time is 2 to 6 weeks for Calgary.

Thanks! I am coming from Italy, living in Calgary!I expect to hear soon from the Calgary office! I am soo relieved and happy :) :) :) !!!

Hi Guys! I got this email too yesterday!Finally!!!

Great news Karito! I am happy for you! I am waiting for the work permit to come in the mail too. However my lawyer told me that I can start to work from the day I got the AIP. The actual work permit is important because only with that you can get the SIN number and therefore get paid :)...

Hi guys! We got the AIP today!!! I just got a call from the consultant and he forwarded us the email from cic saying that the first stage has been approved!! I am so happy! I applied for a OWP when we filed and now I can start to work! The actual work permit will come through the mail in...

Hi Buzybee! Awesome job on the spreadsheet. Can you please update my row? I got the "in process" email on July 27 :). I've sent a complete application package and apparently everything was correct. I am waiting for CIC to process my application and I am getting excited considering how fast...

I lived in Australia for 2 years. You only need the "name check" from the AFP. I took about one month to get here. We've sent CIC all the documents needed for both stages , including police clearances and medical for faster processing.

Congratulations!! So happy for you! When did you apply? I think you have to wait until the whole process is completed before leaving Canada.

I applied in April too! I can't wait for the approval. It seems that things are moving fast now, I hope it stays that way! Have a great day everyone!

Well, a few people of the other forum said that they go to the same school and that she in not joking, she is like that. I find her a bit weird too, but that's who she is. Peace.

I Just found this on another forum: http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshh1E3pAwZ9ln2t3KN5 I am disgusted. I am sure she represents a very little part of the Canadian population. I am worried about the 14k FB "Like" though.

Well I lived and worked in Western Australia, Northern Territory and New South Wales. You are probably right about Melbourne, it's famous for its multiculturalism. Not so much other places. It's not about being Italian, it's about not speaking English as mother-tongue. Your husband being...

I strongly disagree with "nice weather". Maybe because I am Italian :). Agree with the rest though :).

I know very well what the situation in my country is. There is also a big role played by the media about the whole thing but I don't want to get into that. That's encouraging! I like Canada so far, and as you said people don't like each other for all kind of reasons. I guess I will have a...

Hi Karito, quoting myself a few messages ago: So basically it's safe to volunteer only in non-profit organizations not related to your occupation. My app was sent just a week ago, so I guess I will have to wait a long time before they will get back to me & wife. @ nonoo On the immigration...

I am about to go crazy too. I can't even volunteer. I found a hobby and I am trying to get out of the house as much as I can. I am curious about my skills/diploma/degree, I hear they have to be assessed/certified to be able to access some jobs. This has never happened to me while working abroad...

Hi, You can update those information from your profile when you reach at least 10 posts. :)

Hi Mrslwsn, I am no expert but to me a previous sponsorship is a red flag for the immigration officer. It's clearly stated in the guide for "inland spouse/common-law sponsorship" that you may not sponsor if: •You have an undertaking for a previous spouse or common-law partner and three years...
