nope, didnt have to sing that (thank goodness, lol)...did get "screeched in" a couple summers ago, proud to say I am an "honorary Newfie".

Wow! In stages is best when adjusting. Funny how little time it takes when you are happy in a place

I'm glad you got to avoid that mess. It would have been funny if they made you do it while on the screech.

Yeah, she has long adjusted. When she first came, she started getting cabin fever because she didn't have the OWP yet. She, somehow, convinced my mom and dad (nearing 70) to help her remodel the kitchen in our house, and even convinced them to paint. All while I was working! Imagine my surprise when I come home to no kitchen counter!

Once she got her OWP, life went back to normal. In fact, I would argue better than normal. She likes to walk our larger dog (the dog I had when she moved in, not the dog she brought here illegally! -- I joke -- he is legal; but jumped the border without the guards even noticing) along the local river. Here, we have green space (and plenty of wildlife in the city). There, it's concrete, steel, and glass. She wouldn't walk nearly as much as she does now.

So, I would have to agree with you. Once you know the routine, it's usually ok no matter where you are.

Just, go home. Rent a boat (instead of using a car), and go home .

LMAO.... You are too funny.

I feel like there is a newfie joke to be had, here.

Waiting for the newfie joke................

(crickets)


LOL

Except, it's not the image of a cricket...

I wasn't going to make a joke up. Last thing I need is some crazy, screeched up Newf's coming to my door at 3 in the morning, because they read that profiler made up some joke! nuh huh!

 

[browning911]

the email that is attached to the GCKey is my email address, I check his email (he's not too computer savvy) as well even the spam/junk folder, nothing has ever been there.

Okay. Maybe it's the NF way.

Serious. It's Christmas... You should go (or your family come here). In our case, we kind of have two Christmas's (Christmai? What's Christmas en pluriel); regular, and Orthodox.

 

[browning911]

Did they make you sing, "Aye's the bai?" That's how you learn to speak Newfoundland-English . Many Newfie friends here. Some of them are crazy as all get-out (I think it's the screech they drink), but good friends .

I know the laid back attitude you speak of. Much of Atlantic Canada is like that. It drove us crazy when we would show up for dinner reservations, and they didn't have a table ready.... Even weirder was the local (rural) Vet, was also an MD and Pharmacist (who could bill other provinces' health care!).

Ahhh, the good times. I need to try to convince my wife that it's worth a trip. She's a Muscovite, so we have to decompress her from Moscow in stages. The city we live in (~130k people) is a far cry from the ~12m she is used to. She calls our city a village. Loves Toronto though. Imagine a trip to NB, where Moncton is like the heaviest populated area (same size as our city!).

Love the laid back attitude.......it's so not TO. I want to live in a village where I can walk to everything.

Imagine KW has 130 000 and SLU has 185 000.

Well my sister is now here but her husband works in SLU (he is Jamaican...Ya Mon!!) so he comes to visit very often but my parents are now here.

At the rate IRCC is going 100% sure that you will be done in time to go for Christmas.

I am torn. We want to go to SLU for Christmas but my Dad is here so not sure.

The last time I went for Christmas I left TO on Christmas Eve 2013 and there was severe low level trough system over the Saint Lucia/Dominica/St. Vincent etc. When my hubby (not my husband then) came to meet meet at the airport it had just begun raining again. It had been raining all day in Saint Lucia but everyone was going about their business in preparation for Christmas.

By the time we reached to a place called Bexon the roads were flooded and there was a mini van ahead of us transporting visitors to their respective hotels. It stalled because water got into the muffler and we were behind it. I started feeling my feet wet as water was coming into the vehicle. Then some guys who were walking around in the rain told us to go and park up on a hill right beside where we had stopped moving. We ended up spending the whole night in the vehicle because the road was flooded. People even died that night after a whole road collapsed and some people who were on the road had their cars pushed off the road by the water.

Even the airport was badly flooded.

BTW, I was surprising my Dad and Mom so imagine getting a call from me saying I was stuck in a flood.

Early in the morning when the water subside we had to take another route to where were living.

In St Vincent eight people were reported dead and four missing as a direct result of the turbulent weather, while six lost their lives in Saint Lucia. One person was reported missing in Dominica.

Imagine when I was on the plane I was chatting with visitors who were going to Saint Lucia for vacation and when we were landing they were scared because they said they had hired a helicopter to take them to their hotel. I was telling them not to worry because in the Caribbean one minute it is raining and then the next minute it clears and the sun comes out.

WOW! I know what it's like.I've been to those places before.. I haven't been home since 2013 either lol. However, I'm not so concerned about getting the landing before december but actually getting the PR card in our hands by Christmas. Hoping and praying!

Mrs. P and Lil-P will protect you.

KWC (the region) is 550,000. SLU is smaller than Kitchener (220,000). Waterloo and Cambridge make up the rest (Waterloo is smaller)

@browning911 PR Cards are presently 65 days (according to the processing times checker). That means, Carol should have one, then we will get one shortly after -- they the "voodoo" (@GuyanaGirl) in the crowd should get one shortly thereafter...

How long will I get a email/response from cic after I submit a open work permit? Vergeville received it on 26 June.

Sounds like a Toronto Christmas to me...
