Yes, as I said above, worked fine (which amazed me given Italian bureaucracy. I simply stuffed 15 Euros in the envelope... somebody got a few free Euros for their morning espresso, but I got my certificates in a timely manner, which was all that mattered to me.

Hi, My experience is that they gave me them all... you must be careful to apply to the relevant authorities in the province you last lived in. In my case, it was Padova. Another thing to be aware of, just in case: there are certain on-line sites that charge an absolute fortune to act as an...

If it helps, I got in progress the first monday, decision made the second monday, and the COPR arrived the third monday.

Well, I landed 10 October in Halifax and it was so very straightforward. Very friendly officers who welcomed me to Canada. I got my NS Health Card next day (printed the card there and then) and have been to Services Canada for my SIN (also got welcomed to Canada). PR card being sent to my...

Haven't been on here in a while as we are busy preparing for landing in Halifax on the 17th. Nice to see some of the longer apps being approved. Regarding these B4 forms, we have a fairly detailed list together but, on reading the back of it, it seems that my wife has to do one as she is a...

Tell me about it. I am starting to contact builders for the things I can't do myself. We are also, this weekend, going to start going through our stuff to see what we can get rid of. Massive job in itself and I wonder if, on reflection, we should have started doing this when the application went...

Wow... so it is simple. Thanks for the reply... one less "major" thing to worry about in our build up to October.

Haven't been on in a while as taking some last European holidays while I still can. Nice to see all the good news around decisions etc. and ~I hope the outstanding ones get sorted soon. I wonder if anyone has experience of bringing a cat over? It all seems so remarkably straightforward that I...

Nice to see all these DMs. Congratulations to everyone and let's hope the rest from 2012 get theirs soon.

Well, we have booked tickets for landing in October in Halifax. Really looking forward to it. I hope for you guys still waiting, especially the 2012 applicants, that London get their finger out and finish things off.

No. Seems I don't require that.

Once he works out how to latch my gate so it doesn't bang around in the wind, and annoy all the neighbours, I will consider tipping him.

Our COPR came in the post this morning... just in time, I think, as elsewhere on this forum someone states that London have gone on strike again.

Well, our COPR arrived in the post 10 minutes ago. Nice to have that bad boy in my hands. Shame the Royal Mail can't seem to deliver anything these days without it being bent and turned up at the ears.

Not sure about some of the other questions but VISA is an international system. You can pay with your UK card in Canada and it will convert the charge to UK pounds (plus a cheeky wee commission).

The Mrs always gets that in Halifax.

That's strange, isn't it. My wife and I have noticed the odd time (mostly at Pearson airport) that they seem to be annoyed she is not a Canadian resident... now she just uses her UK passport. In Halifax, Vancounver and Calgary, though, there has never been any attitude.

There is a very easy way to make it unambiguous... "please give full personal and address history since the age of 18".

I agree with you... it is disgusting, especially given that you pay a small fortune for it.

Thanks. Hopefully it gives others a lift that things are moving in London.
