No changes here :/ I was thinking to send update package. Some emails and pics of xmas with hubbys family. Also we are moving end of month (Toronto, we are coming back!)so im thinking to change the address in same letter. I dont know if its good idea or not...

I miss work soooo much! Im really hardworking and its pain not to work(and save and shop, hahah). Mostly i feel super bad that hubby has to do all the shopping and paying bills.

Yes, lets hope we are not here for long...I might stick around after too :D :p

If you're satisfied with what you sent in your initial application then I would just hold off on sending more stuff. I don't think it's necessary unless you feel you didn't submit enough initially. Oh and welcome back to T.O. You'll be working before you know it and then you'll be sad about how little vacation time we get in Canada! :)

Kelkel is right - plus you wouldn't want to look like you are trying too hard if that makes sense... wait and see.. it is hard but I would hate for you to send stuff that gets lost because it didn't get directed properly because you didn't have their barcode stickers on it from when they request stuff!!

:( Okay I have done my crying. This is so stressful. I made a mistake.

On the website it says that your medical exam will be required after you submit your application. I kept seeing here in this forum that everybody sent their medicals before handing in their application. Since I live outside of Canada I figured maybe that was inland.

Anyways I have already written to the embassy, probably tomorrow I will get an answer. I went ahead and called the DMP to see if he might enlighten me with a solution. He clarified the procedure for me for sponsor applications. The upside is that he can give me the paper that is needed to be filed along with the application within the day. I could fed ex everything the next day.

My question is should I just wait because maybe CPC already sent my application package back to me. Or should I risk it and send it by next Monday it could be in Mississauga by Wednesday Nov 9.

CPC Mississauga received my FAM APplication on Oct 14.

Bad day today but tomorrow will be better!!!
VT :'(
Hey,
I did the exact same thing – I just contacted the embassy that will process our application and they said we can do the medical any time during the application process.
I was wondering what you ended up doing and if it worked out for you.
Cheers

Yeah kelKel, is really quiet at the moment, I thought we'd see some more action last week, but not a lot going on.

I am finally getting my passport over to UK via Fedex tomorrow, will arrive on Thursday then a friend is going to send it down to London and then receive it back. Although now I'm thinking about it, not sure why I don't just send it directly to CIC London and get them just to return it to my friend in UK for her to forward onto me. Seems a bit more straight forward really doesn't it. Oh well, I'll go and change all the paperwork again now. That does makes sense yeah?

Am hoping to get visa back in next three weeks when my husband has some time off work and we can then drive down to the border and flagpole.

Definately stay home from work tomorrow, no point in making it worse and yes, hope you get better soon!

Its really cold in Alberta, around -25 and then -35ish with wind chill. Its bizarre, I've never experienced anything like this. Last time I was here it was summer and really really warm.

Once we get my passport back, we're going to 'land' and then will be able to go over to Ontario to check out my husband's house, his last tenants have left it a right mess - see if we decide to live there or rent it out again and stay in Alberta.
