Pinklady, how do I add my onfo on the tracking spreadsheet? Documents submitted 16 Mar 2012, received in Mississauga 20 Mar 2012.

Thanks! :)
I will add your information to the spreadsheet. Welcome :)

In regards to your husband being questioned by immigration, it is a little different for UK citizens as they are visa exempt for a start, plus there is less suspicion overall that UK folks will try and immigrate illegally as quality of life is generally the same in England and Canada.
Luckyinlove's husband will have to apply for a visit visa which may be rejected as they suspect he won't leave, even though he is a PR of the UK.

Hey everyone, just a quick update - my partner received his COPR in the post on Friday (16th March)! It had been sent out on Wednesday the 14th - the day before our ECAS updated to 'Decision Made'. :)

Pinklady...please can you update the spreadsheet?

I've waited so long to say that! :D

Thanks to everyone for all the amazing help along the way :) x
Congratulations!!! Yey!! :)

Hi All!

Just wondering if anyone could get back to me on a post I popped on a few days back, just wondering if anyone else had the same scenario when landing?

It has on my visa that our destination is Kelowna, BC and it says in the instructions we have to adhere to what is on the visa. We are landing in Montreal and visiting my hubbys family on PEI for 2 weeks (we will both have our flights back to BC after that). Do you think that will be a problem because we are not initially going where we say we are going?

Thanks everyone, congrats to everyone hearing good news, its a great feeling!!! :)

Hey Anna,
I am not 100% on this, but I think you'll be ok. Do you have any proof of your final destination being BC? Even the flight booking? I think as long as they know you're not destined to settle in Quebec then it won't be an issue.
Somebody else posted a similar question a while ago, i'll try and find it. Not sure whether they were going to live in Quebec but landing somewhere else, or the other way round, like you.

Hi :) Thanks Pinklady, we will both have our flights booked (although due to work and family committments clashing Im flying out to Kelowna a month earlier than him) but we will both have flight tickets to show them, I figured that should be ok too but just wanted to check if anyone had a similar experience / problem.

Thanks :)

Hey guys,

Just wondering what people would recommend for getting your stuff over to Canada? We don't have any furniture as we have just been renting, but lots of books, ornaments, personal belongings. Which way do you find is cheaper? Some people have said to use the post office/ parcel force but other have suggested unaccompanied baggage?

Appreciate the help!
