Westie I hope you get approve very soon.
Are you in Canada right now or you are in Australia?

I will miss Australia a lot especially : everything all inclusive price (You pay what you see) , in Australia we don't really expect tip in service industry and weather (like Summer in Christmas).

oh101 that is great news. My application went in a couple of weeks after yours so hopefully I am not too far behind. Did you pull any strings at CIC to get your application moved to the top of the pile? :)

Maybe Abbott took a power so CIC want me to move fast!! :D :D ;D

I hope you do to!, I am in Canada I came here in May 2012 on a IEC Visa and have been living in Saskatchewan. So I've been lucky in that regard that I don't have to live away from my partner

I think you have listed the things I miss the most about Australia! Especially the warmth we came here for what was the coldest winter since the early 1900's and I think we are weeks away from the snow returning. But its magical! And now I find myself missing things about Canada when I'm away

My ECAS has been updated to Decision Made.

I have no idea whether this is positive or not it says this,

A decision has been made on xxxxxxx application. The office will contact xxxx concerning this decision.

Its really soon so I don't know what to think. I haven't had any correspondence from them since I got my stage 2 AOR.

Wow. That is really fast. I just said to you last night that I hope you will approve very soon and here we go!! :)
It's must be positive for sure otherwise they will sent a bunch of email asking you for additional document.

BTW what part of Australia are you from?

I hope its an approval! I'm a bundle of nerves at the moment. I'm from the Central Coast in NSW. Whereabouts in Australia are you from? Where in Canada do you plan to move to?

Geez that is quick. I had planned to be in Sydney for the Ashes series. If my application gets the same treatment as yours I could be out of here before the series begins! :eek:

Mate I am stoked for you. That is amazing. I hope this isn't a one off. Sydney seems to be on fire at the moment. You can't imagine how much hope this is giving me.

Hoping for a speedy processing of your application too! even though they weren't on strike they are definitely moving fast. Better watch those tickets to the Ashes you might not be needing them :)
