:D Hi to all ! Just an update about our Landing Experience - Received COPR 28/3/14 Landed 13/4/14 ( already in Alberta as a Visitor since 23/1/14) We didn't want to Flagpole incase an Administrative Refusal affected future US trips so we entered the US via the 'quieter' border crossing at...

Now the official CIC timescale is 11 months I would like to reassure folk that I was not a straightforward application and I got my DM in 220 which is not too much over the average waiting times - so use the spreadsheet as a guide rather than CIC ! I was asked for an additional 30 years history...

Thanks to all the volunteer advice-giver and spreadsheet updaters Sweden ! I wouldn't have made it through to this point without it - after 12 months apart we finally reunited 7 weeks ago under a visitors permit and everyone was sooo much less stressful now we are together again and my son is...

Happy Saint Patrick's Day ! I had a bleary-eyed surprise today at the hospital - whilst showing my elderly father in law how we check ecas for immigration updates on our application I saw Decision Made ! That's 6 months and 12 days since spousal approval I believe ! I have not been called...

We are going to be Visitors until our spousal PR is issued and are taking 3 months insurance to cover us with immediate effect in the event of any delays whilst we are waiting for our own Alberta Healthcare number - just to be sure ! We have chosen CanadaSure and it's a couple of hundred GBPs...

My husband checked this out yesterday with a representative from the registry for Alberta Healthcare and he confirms that once I get my Visitors Permit as the spouse of a Canadian I will be entitled to an Alberta Healthcare number too ! Nicky :D

Many thanks Canuck_in_uk ! Nicky :D

Hi Sweden - I am about to move to Alberta as a Visitor with my son in 2 weeks to wait out the remainder of our Outland PR application (after a year apart from my husband ) as we can now get my son into school after approval by the School Board for funding (since we have a spousal PR...

I have had experience of this situation with my young son and schooling in Canada whilst we wait for our PR to be issued - I have been waiting in the UK because I was advised initially he couldn't attend school while we wait - now I know he can we are flying out in the NY after a year apart...

Many thanks - I must have had mine done that way - just didn't realise that's what it was called ! ::)

Hi - what is the "Emedical way" please ? :D

I wish you luck CDAN and hope what ever they present you with you come out smiling .... I know how I would be feeling :o The things we do for love eh !

Thanks for the added info - I know interviews worry everyone but it's infinitely better than rejection at the first hurdle - at least you get a chance to clarify an issue ! much appreciated folks :)

Many thanks for your reply - like many I am over anxious and over thinking the whole process - from what I can gather it would be doubt about the relationship of a married couple being genuine,rather than the CL rule of needing to have co-habited for more than 12 months, that might lead to an...

Been following the thread about interviews and just wondering if anyone can advise me please :) I have been married to my Canadian husband for almost 16 months ( since 7/2012 ) ( together for almost 27 months since 8/2011 ) - on 30/1/13 he returned to Canada for employment reasons 6 months...
