I had a feeling the Pilot Programme was a way to gain votes in the upcoming elections. Anyway, I gained from it so I can't complain I guess!

Yes, I agree with gsize. At least inland, the spouses get to stay together rather than apart. Some countries, outland takes way more than 25 months!

Good luck to everyone applying for the PR and have a great day!

Stay hopeful!
