Valery, have you been to any open homes? They are a good, no-commitment way to start to get a better idea of what might suit you and fit your budget. realtor.ca tells you when they are on, and there is also an app if you happen to have an iphone. The best of luck with your search!

Very true! Within walking distance is a practical advantage though.

Hello Valery. First of all don't be scared :) - there is lots of help here, make sure you make the most of it! Please take a look at www.realtor.ca - that will show you all the properties which are for sale through the Multiple Listings System. The way property purchasing works here is that...

Hooray, congratulations! :P

Those first-cousin marriages certainly have potential to create quite a burden on Canadian social services, not to mention unnecessary suffering..... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1305078/TAZEEN-AHMAD-Three-uncles-deaf-Five-aunts-died-babies-Why-My-grandparents-cousins-married.html...

Nope, sorry :-[

Congrats Brit! Has it sunk in yet? 8)

It's pretty straightforward, just a bit of being shunted around from office to office. I was glad I took a book with me for the (short) queues.

You're one of the lucky ones, going through Sydney. Took us three months all up, which is a long time to be apart but you can always visit in the meantime. Good luck!

Finally! Congrats to you both! So when's he going to land? Any idea yet?

Make the most of it! Seriously it's what they do. Hey good for you! I've got my SIN number, so now I can job hunt too. Ummm... someone point me in a direction and fire me off? :D Good luck with your landing and job search!

I'll "third" that - thank you everyone!

It's fun to see all the packages, thanks for putting up pictures everyone! Our app was quite small but we covered all the points asked for thoroughly, and it took three months total to process. I think thoroughness and completeness are more important than size, though if you are from a "dodgy"...

I don't have any answers but just want to say I feel for you, having to face up to such ignorance and prejudice. It's the 21st century, how much longer is it going to take? Huge sigh and big hugs for you.

Thank you! It still hasn't sunk in. You're next I hope! And Raucy too. Feeling much better after a sleep, so today it's time to go see about a SIN number and then... work?? Arrgh! :P I feel like I ought to offer some tips on the landing process but it really was pretty straightforward. Any...
