    Where to buy furniture in Toronto

    Hey all, As I will be landing in Toronto next week, one of the open question on which I have not found a good answer yet is what kind of stores Canada has where I could buy furniture for my apartment. I know that Toronto also has an IKEA branch for example. What kind of other, similar brands...

    I see, but still, it took me 8.5 months to receive MR after my application reached the CIO. Applied to your schedule, that would mean mid/late July. In fact, you are even ahead of my schedule as I was asked to pay the RPRF when I was requested to do my medical exam. :) Once you are done with...

    Wait at least another 3 weeks - if you do not hear anything by then, you can start to consider that. You just got your MR and they received your docs just a bit over 2 weeks ago as I can read from this thread. Try to relax, I am pretty sure that you will get your PR in the end - there are just...

    Re: FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

    Nope, there is only one more line which is somewhat like that: "5. You landed in Canada at border entry XYZ on date XYZ and became a Permanent Resident."

    Just wanted to inform everyone that I got my passport request today! :) For those who are living in mainland-China: I am living in Shenzhen and was requested to submit the passport to VFS in Beijing rather than sending it to the VO in HK. I hope that I get my passport back fast as I am an...

    Congrats!!! May I know when you have sent your passport to the VO? I have seen from the spreadsheet that you got your passport request on March 19 already. I am a bit surprised that it still takes such a long time after that.

    My expriences so far ... first two days in Toronto!!!

    Oh dear, it almost seems like flute got a second nick to support his own posts. Anyway, it is great to have some linguists here besides our previous China expert, who are able to match the construction of sentences with the author's ethnic background. Respect to that! ;) So you are trying to...

    My expriences so far ... first two days in Toronto!!!

    The funny thing about your post is, that even though I am currently living in China, I am not a Chinese citizen. I am a Western expat who currently lives and works in China. Even though I consider your views as racism against Chinese (if White managers hire only White people, it's racism, but if...

    My expriences so far ... first two days in Toronto!!!

    Do you seriously need to spam all threads with your very subjective and unfortunate story? Do you have an issue that many people do experience a happy life in Canada? Certainly, you can share whatever you like but I have a problem with people who desperately try to destroy the dreams of others...

    Right, I did my medical exam last Thursday in Central, HK and was told that my results should be available and uploaded to HKVO early next week. It usually takes 4-5 business days but due to the current 5 days holiday period, I will need to be a bit more patient. I hope that no further tests...

    Thanks a lot! No, I did not send any documents after the files were transferred. I already submitted my PCCs along with my initial application. I guess my application is pretty much the most straight forward you could expect - all docs already submitted, no dependents, I am working with a very...
