I believe i put london on mine...if you dont get a reply in time ask the medical doctor - they should be able to help you!

Fenna - With a work permit after first stage approval he could work, or volunteer work where your name doesn't go down on anything official (Which i found hard as your name will usually go on some kind of 'payroll' even if it's unpaid!). Other than that, it's not really worth the risk...

It was for a psych analysis to prove to them i wasn't crazy or something like that (related to self injury issues) Overall useless n just cost me another £300 i'd have liked to have kept! & with regards to your question about the interview, it really depends on the person you get at the time for...

Hello all :) I've completed my process last month, but can share my timeline form my tag if it helps anyone :) Feel free to ask anything i can try to help with!

I don't know how it works for things like that, i'd expect you probably will just have to wait it out for the passport :( Maybe PMM or someone will have a more positive response, sorry to hear though :(

Yes for outland family class i believe you have to do the medical first :)

Yeah, you gotta really love them to pay everything it costs! We paid £1500 for the plane tickets, $200ish at the airport, £60 each for the rabies vacs, plus the costs of blood tests to check it took (cause it doesnt always take first time!), Then the fitness to fly certificates were about £30...

Until your visa medicals expire i believe, Edit; Mine expired 8 days before my visa medical :)

Im not entirely sure, i think theres a way for them to go down there perhaps? Or maybe ive watched too many movies ;) They dont usually regulate the heat down there if there are no animals on board, but they keep an eye on the temp etc too when they have them down there (in fact i think the...

Just wait and try to be patient. London didn't send me AOR my contact was for extra paperwork and then to tell me to send my passport - they suck for contact! Just try to keep busy and hope it doesn't take too long!

Lmfao thanks for pointing that out iar!! Nobody here believes im english after only three months!

ChristyandRob - We had to comply with both UK and Canadian guidelines, i was just following advice from the people that organised the tickets for us, thomas cook airlines and DEFRA and our vet (who knew nothing about a fitness to fly!) We flew into Calgary airport who were very helpful...

Lucky you :( Gatwick airport let one of my cats out! She was gone for a week before someone caught her! Then we had to pay for her tickets and vaccinations again!

Lol i agree as a visitor its harder to make new friends so it ends up a bit lonely eh? i used facebook groups called the calgary girls club/calgary couples club to make some new friends before i could work :)

Hey i just brough my 4 cats over from england with me. Its expensive. They will need to be FULLY up to date on all regular vaccinations, wormed, fleaed. Then they'll need the rabies vaccination, and for this to be checked that its taken after a month with a blood test. And 7 days (no more)...

Yup i gave my email but the only correspondance i really got through it was replies to my questions

Thank you ^_^ I'm looking at being a nanny though and it seems they mostly hire phillipeno(typo?) girls anyway so i guess i'm in an immigrant area! Love_Young - were you both 20 when starting the process?

Beshoo - yeah both me and my hubby were unemployed in England, i managed to get part time work here and there but it sure made it a lot easier to come to Calgary where i've already had 3 interviews since landing on saturday!

I called the canadian side and was advised to send them (london) a letter instead of using the online forms (this also didnt work!) but maybe it was because i was so close to the end of my processing.

My main issue about being in canada as a visitor was that cic would not update my address no matter how many times i sent them a notification, so my PPR went to my old house in england. Luckily i could get my mother to pick up my mail and forward it on to me. So i Fed-Exed the stuff to her and...
