After all this waiting and living in limbo land it better be!!!! I've been here visiting in Canada since December and I look forward to moving on with this stage of my life lol

Yup, I've been visiting since November 25th, 6 months and two lonnngggg days. Limbo is exactly what it is. On reflection I wouldnt have came here when my partner did, if I had to do it again I would stay in England a couple more months earning more money and being around family and friends. But hey ho - hopefully it will be worth it in the end, if they accept us! Either way, atleast we can move on with our lives.

We just have to try and keep our spirits up

Yeah, we have discussed similar, I left a well paid job and never expected my house to sell within a week! But although some days are very hard we are still happier together than going through this process five thousand miles away via webcam lol

Ok soo I just landed this evening at Toronto airport. I had all the customs declaration forms filled out with what i was bringing with its cost and serial numbers for electronics... I go to the passport control desk and tell them i was landing and they ask for the declaration card that you fill in on the plane so i was a little confused because i wasnt sure if i had filled it in right and it just asks for the total cost of items you are bringing. So then i was told to go to another desk and this nice girl processed my landing forms, she didnt ask me any questions or anything, just said oh you married a canadian? She told me to sign the copr in 4 different places and then that was it. I asked about declaring goods and she said you do that after you collect ur bags. SO i got my bags and then the customs people collect ur declaration cards that u get on the plane on the way out and into the arrivals hall. I said to the man that i was landing today and he just asked if what i had was everything and if i had any goods to follow which i said no then he said all he needed was the declaration form nothing else. Which is really weird cos i had everything ready and didnt even need it! It was ridiculously easy and super quick!

So that's me done

Hello,
           a quick question, London has received my application from mississauga, would they still return the whole application if they needed more documents or they will ask for just the documents required?

oh ok, means they will only ask for the required document and will not send the whole application pack back to me?

reason for asking this is because on e-CAS they have mentioned that application will be returend if they needed more documents!!! but i guess its just in case if i have not send any of the documents asked for not the additional ones!

thanks for the reply anyways

Hi
My solicitor has e-mailed the London office about the reasons why I can't come there for the interview on 15th June . I am going to send them the pack of evidences first thing in the morning.

Can anybody confirm that the Email that they use to email us we can't use that email as I ve been getting the email undelivered, o used this email
re-london-im-enquiry @ international.gc.ca

So my Solcitor used the following link provided my London office and the called it web form

http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/united_kingdom-royaume_uni/offices-bureaux/contact_visa_contactez.aspx?lang=eng

So we have completed a webform and attached change of representative form and letter from solicitor as it only allows u to attach 3mb file size so I will be posting then the hard copy through courier first thing morning.

Please telle if anyone else has used tht webform to send them a query and how long it took them to reply?

I would really appreciate it response

Naz

I've used the webform and they replied in a couple of days. Although it seems to be hit and miss, If it's something they can get away with ignoring they will. But seeing as your enquiry is pretty important/offical I'm sure you will get a response.

I received my PPR by email on May 11.

As I am not in the UK,  I sent my UK passport/photos/info form to my Mum in the UK to submit to the Canadian High Commission in London and receive back for me.

I sent it US registered post and though the tracking says arrived in GB on May 18, there has been no trace of it since.

Assuming it has been lost/stolen by the Post office, I need to get a new UK passport which will take up to 6 weeks by mail or I must fly to London and get an urgent one in person.

Question - 45 day submission period after PPR granted:

- Is the 45 day submission period mentioned in the letter fixed?  Has anyone had it extended?

Thanks!



Thanks

[lnl]

I would double check with customs, they held onto a tracked parcel for two weeks before releasing it!! Got a refund from Canada post as they guaranteed delivery in five days :-) many congrats on the PPR, maybe check with the CIC call centre regarding the passport for info?
