Haha, I could keep partying, but my bank balance wont allow it. :)

All we got asked was where did we meet, why Canada. After that it was form filling, and her explaining about the system (which would have been more useful prior to us applying !) Dont over practise they can sense a staged performance a mile off. We went in to the interview together which was...

"So, inland vs outland is a crucial decision and I just wish that Immigration Canada, on their website, would be more clear about the specifics of each process. There is so much misinformation out there that even the person we spoke with in our MPs office really was completely unaware that it...

It takes so damn long, I could have applied via London, and still lived in Canada with my other half. Also you are not advised to leave Canada during an inland app, as you might not be let back in, its such a risk, I lasted 9 months when my dad got sick with cancer and I had to go back to the...

Its so good, we had to hunt for proper sausages though.

Cell phones suck in Canada PERIOD... Once you get over the bad service, indifferent attitude by staff, and the crazy costs, will will be fine. However if you are travelling or even going near the american border switch you phone off, disable it, leave it behind. My phone kept picking up email...

It was a little fuzzy, but not too bad, nothing a full english breakfast, didn't cure ;D

Yay, its a great feeling, we got ours on Friday, although it has been such a HUGE part of our lives for over a year it feels weird not having the stress hanging over us. we wish you good luck with your life in Canada.

:D A taxi is already booked!

It was Inland, if you are from a visa exempt country never never apply inland grrrr. Still its all over now, need to change my SIN card and my OHIP, and wait for my PR card to arrive in the post. Off out tonight for a meal to celebrate.

Had the interview today, just a formality, and got my PR. I cant believe it. Good luck to everyone in their journeys!

Always with a smile, I am with the one I love, we haven't been seperated. We may have not had much money but we are doing ok, life could be a lot worse. :) Hey and the snow is finally going!

"Clearly, if this is one of the most important things that you discovered during the process, your application must have been a breeze" haha you have no idea :D Paperwork was lost thanks to Canada post twice. The initial set of paperwork was lost in a hurricane. I applied INLAND thanks to bad...

Have you ever tried staying in the lines after a bottle of cab sav!! also it doesn't help when my other half decides to use the bottle as a paperweight and leaves a red ring on the top copy grrrrrrrrrr

Ok so we are almost at the end of our journey, and we have received lots of advice, most of which has resulted me in banging my head against a wall wishing I had known that earlier. So I was just thinking, if there was one piece of advice we could give everyone who is applying under this...

As you, we filed inland Dec 09, I received the AIP September 10 with work permit. I got a letter last week saying that our case had gone to our local office, a few days later I got a letter telling me my interview is this Friday. It will happen, if you hear nothing by mid April then call. good...

Like others have said, bad advice and ignorance grrrrrrr. However the end is near, I applied Dec 09, my interview is Friday ;D

Despite being a UK citizen I was advised (wrongly) to apply inland. I submitted everything December 09. It was ready July 09 but Canadian Post lost my police record check grrrrrr. Anyhow on a bright note This week I got my health card, which was lucky because as I stepped from the Ontario Health...

I love it, your post made my day ;D

WOW what a crazy situation, one would think that asking someone who was a government employee for info, they would know what they were talking about. I have had so many conflicting bits of info it gets frustrating. Thank goodness for forums like these!!!!
