Oh, I think him getting there before the end of the summer is totally realistic, given that you've been transferred to Mississauga! I imagine he'll be good to go by end of spring at the very latest. We need to get my husband there before the end of the summer too because he will be going to university and needs to register for classes in August. If we had been transferred to Mississauga I know I would be totally relieved and feel comfortable that he'd make it in plenty of time.
Yes, that's also true -- if he comes earlier under dual intent he will have to do his actual landing either by crossing the border to the US and returning or he has to make an appointment to do it at some office in Etobicoke (fellow Torontonian here
), which can take a couple weeks to get and you don't have much choice about date/time. If he's going to just wait to get COPR before he enters the country, though, he'll just do it at the airport. (I'd imagine his process will be quite quick from here, though, so probably easiest to just do at the airport!)
I’m heading over sometime soon under duel intent and will hopefully be completing a soft landing in Edmonton, so long as CPC-M complete my application completed before September.Yes, that's also true -- if he comes earlier under dual intent he will have to do his actual landing either by crossing the border to the US and returning or he has to make an appointment to do it at some office in Etobicoke (fellow Torontonian here
Oh wow! That's exciting! Though... Edmonton weather... maybe you want to wait a few more weeks to make that move.I’m heading over sometime soon under duel intent and will hopefully be completing a soft landing in Edmonton, so long as CPC-M complete my application completed before September.
But seriously, was it always your plan to go on a specific date, regardless of whether your app was completed or dual intent would be necessary? Or did you decide this later on? I'm always mulling over what to do in our situation and whether I should just book us plane tickets for a day and stick to it or wait and see a little longer.
I was going to put my application in around June, but I was in no rush as my partner was living here. Circumstances changed and she was offered a job she couldn't refuse. So I got my butt in to gear and got the application completed in November. We decided that I'd come over around spring time under duel intent, and then I'd head back to the UK for a month with my daughter to visit family - under the impression that my application would be going to London VO.Oh wow! That's exciting! Though... Edmonton weather... maybe you want to wait a few more weeks to make that move.
My hubby is planning to go to Centennial once he's landed...it'll be awesome if he could go in Sept too! Very big plans in store!
Aw, yay! Definite kinship there.My hubby is planning to go to Centennial once he's landed...it'll be awesome if he could go in Sept too! Very big plans in store!
We're not sure yet where he's going because he hasn't heard back from his number one choice (fingers crossed), but we know for sure he'll be in school at one of the Toronto unis either way. A lot of changes all at once for us!
Good advice, though in our case we do have to leave by August at the absolute latest, as he's already applied and been accepted to university. In order to register for classes in August he'll have to prove status in the country, which means he'll need to either be a PR or have a student permit by then. I would rather not have to apply for a student permit as it's going to be a major PITA to get confirmation from the schools that he pays domestic tuition in order to prove we have sufficient funds for said study permit application
(study permits require A LOT of money in the bank, at least by our meagre standards! ).
