Feel free to join our Facebook group for Aussies/Kiwis going through the PR process https://www.facebook.com/groups/730074400442960/

You can enter Canada...but only as a visitor. You need to be cautious about the language that you use when entering I.e. Don't say that you are "moving" here or "living" here. Make sure that you reiterate that you understand that you are visiting and cannot work. Also having a return ticket...

You won't hear anything for another month or so...Stage one AOR takes that long usually. We have a Facebook group for Aussie and Kiwi PR applicants if you are interested...all of us have been/are going through the process. https://m.facebook.com/groups/730074400442960/ Cheers.

We've got a Facebook group for Aussie/Canada PR...just a small discussion/support group if you're interested. https://www.facebook.com/groups/730074400442960/

Our app took 5 1/2 months through Sydney...12 months is not realistic. You will have 12 months to land from the date of your medical. For e.g. If your medical is today you'll have to land by Nov 15th 2016. In my case, I had three months to land from the time they finished processing until the...

My PR card arrived 72 days after landing...my son's has not yet arrived. Hopefully I'll have them both soon! How is everyone else from October doing?

Made me laugh too...also a +1 from me for the lol.

We actually came via Hong Kong and landed at around 2 in the arvo. It took a little while only because there was a number of flights landing at the same time, so going through customs was slow. The rest was quick and everyone was friendly. So happy to be here, although still jet lagged!

Landed today at Pearson. Super easy and got my SIN issued as well. So happy that it's over!! Wishing speedy processing for all of you.

Our application went straight to DM, without going in process...two others that I know from our Facebook group had the same.

Haha! No need for apologies...I couldn't help myself, pointing out the irony! For what it's worth, I hope everything works out for you.

That is great news! I know that "about to pass pass out from shock" feeling. Congrats Ravcat.

....except a job that you were not legally entitled to hold (Unless that's a typo).

That's awesome news!! (not about the cold, about the landing!!). Congrats. Ill be following soon!

Yes, I did. They asked my reason for being there and I told them. I was also travelling with a massive wedding dress bag! I did have a return ticket though and plenty of ties to Australia.

No need to sweat at all if you don't lie.

So did I, but my point was that I didn't lie about it. I always said I was there to get married or visit my fiancé, never "just a friend". It can be a red flag if you lie and say that you are just visiting a friend and then they look at the math and it appears that you have gotten married very...

Exactly! Don't lie. I completely disagree with everyone who is telling you to say you are "visiting a friend". None of this may ever be found out but you don't want to be the one that is!! It would just take one observant officer to note on your PR the dates that you came to "visit a friend" and...

That's awesome! Congratulations!!

Even if he only has access but you have sole physical custody, unless his parental rights are terminated for some reason you will not be able to leave the country with the child without his permission. By taking the child away you are denying his right to access, whatever you think of him (and...
