Well that's not far away. Was there anything on your application that would have caused a red flag? Age difference, short marriage etc? You will be fine I am sure!

Oh no :( will this delay it much or when is your interview scheduled? Are you british?

I imagine since they are visa exempt, it will be ok, plus if he has exams, bring evidence of his return to write them and maybe an exam timetable as proof. I think we'll be ok too, I just don't know what to say to the officer! And do I do the talking or does my husband?

We're moving from the UK to Canada next week. I'm canadian and my husband is British/Irish and so visa exempt. We have sponsorship approval so far. We have a return ticket for my husband in Sept though no intention of using it unless his PR gets refused which is unlikely. When we arrive in...

Did you get an email at all? Sometimes they sent emails instead of letters.

You just send the application to CIC-Mississagua and then request it gets sent to your home country visa office..so if say you are british, your app is processed in London. Doesn't matter if you have a canadian address.

Confused..I read that, does that mean just appeals will be handled in Ottawa?

Whoa those are great, heart warming stories! :) I think I will maybe just make a wee card and when we are boarding, ask the cabin crew to relay it to the captain. Only 19 days left! Can't wait!!

Great to know, thanks!

Yes all 3 dogs and the cat will be in the cargo hold, the other two are large German Shepherds. We had to get the Giant Vari kennels for them. 4ft long! We have no room left in our house!! My dad's a commercial pilot, I'll have to ask him if that works 8)

Lucky you!! New Delhi is usually super quick at 2nd stage processing!! Maybe only a couple weeks to a month? Depends on how straight forward your case is.

Depends on the visa office that deals with your home country. Where does the principal appilcant live?

I am doing the same with my husband who is also visa exempt. We recently got sponsor approval. We also have a return ticket for him. We leave in just under 3 weeks so if he is allowed in, under 'Dual Intent' then I will come back and write a post about it! I also wrote to my VO, London and...

Ok spoke to shipper again..we take it to the warehouse tomorrow and he will store it free of charge for us until the day we go, then ship it to canada so it arrives after us.. Phew! And I have that in writing lol

I've read the part about importing animals and it says its $30 for the first animal in the shipment and $5 for each subsequent one. One of the dogs is a retired greyhound racer but I have her racing papers signed over to me and will be bringing it along, so hopefully it won't be a problem. And...

Ok thanks OhCanadiana, yes it is very stressful lol..I've actually done this transatlantic hop 8 times, this is my 9th, but I always had my mum and dad sorting it all as I was just a teenager! Now a few years later, I'm married and travelling with a zoo and responsible for it all ??? I think I...

I'm not sure why your dad need to pick up your goods. In our case, after clear customs, our goods were delivered to our new home by the same relocation company. Because we are only shipping a few boxes, we're not using a relocation company. So the plan was my dad to pick our stuff up and drop...

I've read that and pretty much the whole CSBA site! It just wasn't clear if pets needed to be on the B4 or not.

Bollocks, yes by 'them' I meant our boxes! We have about 150kg. Can I ask why this isn't a good idea? The shipper said it would be fine :S We leave sunday morning and the shipping office is closed saturday and I have an exam on friday. Argh! Both me and my spouse are exempt from duty as I've...

Really? My dad was going to pick them up at the airport for us as the cosignee? Also the dogs and cats were rescued so I didn't pay for them. What do I put as their value?
