Until you hit the Ontario Border..it's all just flat country and straight roads...boring...cruise control land.

What a bloody epic..had to leave wed 4am to drive to a relatives owing to a family matter (oww you can go honey, you are just sitting here anyways)....local like...3000+ km Alberta to Ontario..then the same back..just catching up quick before bed. Ended up in the home town of the...

It should be sent as a paper copy for immigration purposes, it will not be sent to you as a downloadable file.

Ahh but profiler, you are a lot like me, how many times today have we both responded to the same question at the same time, if we can help, we do.

Yes you will get the visa at the interview, installed into her passport, this does not automatically grant her re-entry to Canada, she needs the PR card, or another document. She can leave Canada 5 minutes after the interview..nothing is checked on the way out, and if you both live at the same...

LOL I didn't write it for applause, hopefully some folks WILL hang around after that magical day and pass on their words of wisdom to the next generation...we actually see it on this forum right now, active forum members have suddenly disappeared once they have their own goals achieved.

You are at the end, the interview will last about 10 minutes, questions as follows..still living together?...any kids born since application...do you still want to sponsor the spouse?..sign the document, hand over passport, PR is put in...happy dance.

True..but like we need air to breathe, A good lobby needs media to carry the message...the days of holding public meetings from a soap box are long gone, one just has to know how to throw the carcass in the right way that the hyena's upset the lions. PS you are talking to an ex-journalist, it...

No need to worry, that's your Landing interview....at which the party concerned will get his PR...congrats, from what I have seen on here should be about 2-3 weeks, the least notice I have seen from the letter to the interview was 4 days, but normally again 2-3 weeks. If you have supplied email...

Let me stress Profiler, i hold this view about all politicians, not just Canadian ones, sad fact is they will say and do what the folks (or the most popular view) want to hear from them, for that vote and the seat on the public purse gravy train..(beats working for a living). Owing to the...

Re contacting Mp's etc, let me relate a tale from when I was a Temporary Foreign Worker, in the course of my job I ended up dealing with the then current Minister of Immigration and 2 of his office staff, they ran into me, literally and held the accent. They of course, started pumping me for...

LOL Profiler...Great minds think alike. PS..PIC..Partner In Crime, I think?

In your case I would take the chance being so close to the date when they MUST process....I would just apply, by the time you get an interview (if successful) your permit will be here, and can be shown at that stage...if you applied today, and they phoned tomorrow (unlikely, companies hate to...

the answer to that is...it depends. IF you applied for your OWP prior to your work permit expiring, then you are indeed fortunate and should dance the happy dance, as you are now in implied status, and can work right now under your old permits conditions, until the new one is approved/not...

No it's Canada being fair ;) ...We have North America, Europe, and Australia, next will be Asia, Africa and the Antarctic...think I'll claim I'm half Eskimo, half African and send them a picture as proof of me in a melted igloo, and my sled being pulled by zebras :P

USA, Ireland and Australia

I would be surprised if you didn't get it this week, you are exactly 1 week in front of the latest posters who have just announced seeing their permits being authorized on line...normally that's 4-7 days before it shows up in the post (could even come today).

I've had 10 months of this, and my wife makes damn good money, but after 40 years plus of being master of your own destiny, and buying say..a burger, or a beer without feeling guilty about wasting the money..it does affect you, unless you are one of those people that are happy to freeload.

By all means start networking and putting out CV's....but be honest, in the covering letter state you are waiting for a work permit that will come in X timeframe. I have been networking since about 2 months in, and yes, I have a job waiting. If you use 110 days to work out when your permit is...

Well today, or rather yesterday was a happy day in the Alien house. To explain, 2 years ago while here on an employer-specific work permit I took a trip in my last legal months to Las Vegas...what the hell, on this side of the pond, may never get another chance to do the drive etc. Anyways me...
