Not really much of a sun worshiper, but I will be able to handle being out by the pool with drinks without a winter coat on. the first snow is the best snow to me :) I get excited like a little kid, lol Hopefully tonights/tomorrows commute wont be too bad -- be safe

Thanks!! Ha! Thats not gonna happen, supposed to get some Saturday, its just the beginning of a long winter to come here, lol. I say by the time we leave mid-December there will be at least a foot down already. Thats alright, escaping for a month in the sun and coming home with more snow on the...

Oh happy day!!!! :) Got my PR card today in the mail, it took 56 days. Now I feel this process is really finished. All is now good to go for our trip to see family in December. The wealth of knowledge on this board is amazing. Thank you to everyone who listened to me whine and cry about this...

I am grateful that you stayed as long as you have, otherwise (personally) I would not have gotten through this without your wealth of knowledge. It was a crazy bumpy ride, but your words certainly helped me when I thought all was lost and hopeless. Right now, looking back, I cant imagine having...

oh yes, understood what you meant, ideally it would work, however a couple more things are involved...a ferry off the island, where to leave our car if we took it? or incur another charge for renting a car?...all in all it is best for us to fly. Got a deal on the flight, from NFLD to AZ round...

Driving really isnt an option for us being we are in Newfoundland going to Arizona (4658km/2895miles). The cost of driving+ferry+driving again+plane is outrageous! Flight is already booked. Gonna have to take chances and hope there are no screw ups and if there are we will have to reschedule the...

oh my! I will be crying too if this happens to me...already made plans for visiting home in December. We shouldnt be penalized if their system isnt properly working. I took my photos at WalMart, I know its not the photographer, we checked and double checked the specifications, she knew what she...

Congratulations!! I had to laugh, I felt the same way when I didnt get my SIN the same day. Now that I have it, I feel so official now, lol And yes, patience is a hard thing to have, but it is well worth it...there is a light at the end :)

Thank you everyone for the congrats and well wishes. we have just gotten home and this past 3 days seems like Ive been in a dream, but its done. A couple things I remembered about the landing...not once did they ask for hubby's Id or did they ask him if he will be responsible for me being here...

I know huh?? Cant believe this part is over!!! Your turn soon!!! Is it next week or the week after?

Its done....I landed this morning. Everything went smoothly. Got there a little earlier and they took us to a small interview room, asked the 3 questions, reviewed the COPR paper, a lot of small talk, put us at ease completely. Signed the paper, she said welcome to CA, you are now a permanent...

I can finally do a happy dance!!!! (after I about hyper-ventilated and hubby told me to calm down) We are pleased to advise you that the processing of your application for permanent residence will be finalized at your next interview that has been scheduled for: September 14th, 2017 at 10:00AM...

woohooooo!!!! Congrats!!!!

thanks :) me too...was hoping contacting the MP would be as speedy as some that are on this forum...just my luck though :(

Called the MP assistant today after waiting for her to "get back to me on Tuesday". She said she received an email from one of their constituents in St Johns who is now looking into why I have not been set up with my landing appointment. They told her it may take them 10 days to get an answer...
