Didn't know they had Kokanee in your neck of the woods. Moose says it tastes a bit weak. Hard to wean him off his Red Horse.

Had to come up for air.

So my wife's landing in Vancouver was painless. She said that 90% of her PAL flight was Filipino families all landing. Her interview was 3 questions: What is your purpose for visiting Canada today? What is the address in Canada you will be staying at and how did you meet your husband? C'est toute.....that's it.

Flight from Vancouver to Winnipeg was nothing and all the people waiting at the terminal were Filipinos....just me and another guy about my age were the only white guys there. ;D ;D

A very happy reunion and the 8 months since we last were together are just a distant memory. I go back to work tomorrow which sucks but she needs to get herself moved into the house and she will want to change stuff around and I would only be in her way for that.

Now the adventure truly begins.
Welcome to Canada Mrs. CanadianJeepGuy! :D

We came back from father's day supper at his parents', noticed an email from Manila. It requests Appendix A, family information. Because it is only me, no kids, I skipped that paper when sending in November. I don't know how long they will take from now, but good to know my file are in Manila now.

Congrats! That must be your PPR. But no actual Passport requested since you're from Japan I'm guessing?

Need clarification on this..

Is Appendix A (Checklist) [found in the Part 3: Country specifications] a FORM or just a GUIDE?

Thanks! and thanks GoonerClank! I am from Japan, I read somewhere that they don't request our passport anymore. I hope I can be done soon and have insurance coverage. I am tired of getting refused. Here, they refuse self-pay patients.

WoodyKatie, this Appendix A lists me, spouse, children's name, birthday, passport info, height, eye color, marital status.

That is a different Appendix A, it is the one requested by the CEM together with the PPR. I filled it up also. :) I dont know if we have the same guide, yours from Japan. We have Appendix A (Checklist) in Part 3: Phils. Specifications.

This is the first I have heard of this. Do you have a link or reference?
