Well hopefully come 2015 people will see the error of the Conservatives ways when they vote. Although I am surprised the conservatives even have time to think up ads, considering they recently solved poverty in Canada according to our new immigration Minister http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncUtF2E7D8Y&feature=youtu.be

Just got off skype with my wife. She got the visa and COPR and got the CFO stamp done. So there was no train after all. But there was something kind of interesting. They returned all the proofs and pictures that I had sent. Each trip I had done had the various receipts and proofs in individual labelled envelopes. They only opened one of them. The one that was open I think was our first meeting. I guess the other proofs apart from the trips was enough for them (phone records, money transfers, etc).

So now time to book the flight...

No one can answer the number of days or months to wait. It is depends on when you submitted the documents and they assess your application. Plus with the strike going on it seems to have slowed down a bit. But you should be soon if everything is in order and you sent the items in right away.

You can look at the spreadsheet by scos. http://tinyurl.com/bz6ze8w

What are the odds? It's like you are driving and every time you come to a traffic light it turns red. Well, at least you know the rest of the tests were done! Hopefully this will be the last traffic light and visa time will be soon.

Then you can enjoy the fun of finding a flight. Most of the good ones are booked and the rest cost a fortune. No first class for $1300 for us! Seems like that will get you strapped to a wing now. I think I will have to find a good travel agent to dig for something.
