    Ya I know what you mean...its like this for me before I go over for a visit. Everything is like baby steps....one more weekend, or 3 more days of work. It's all the little things that are killing me. I can't wait to have breakfast with my daughters, or go for a drive with my wife. I have a...

    Hey Everyone! Wow, this weekend was so boring I had to try to keep busy not to go insane waiting. I am hoping I only have 3 - 4 more alone weekends to look forward too. I can't imagine how excited Steph C and CJG are to be so close to the end.

    Also, if there's any refueling going on then you will have to leave the plane.

    Lots of times I have landed and not had to go through customs....in most countries. I do believe that in Canada you do need to clear customs....I see it all the time in T.O. I hear the announcements that even people who are transferring flights need to claim bags and clear customs. My feeling...

    That makes sense. We submitted the Cenomar when we applied. And I guess the first police cert would be getting near expiry. That's good to know, I was wondering about that. As for Japan...I always got stuck in the older part. Only once when I flew Delta did I get to see the new part. The old...

    I am just reading over what people were requested when they got their Passport request. Most are being asked for AOM's....my wife was not asked for that, but instead they asked for a NBI. Has anyone else been requested an NBI?

    Really? The bathroom I saw had a hole in the ground...no toilet! lol. What I like about Hong Kong is it's only 1 1/2 hrs to Manila, so you start to feel pretty excited when boarding the last leg of your trip. Also with Cathay I noticed they treat your luggage better then most. Overall, I am...

    For me, Cathay is the only way. I've flown them now 10 round trips no issues. 1 time I flew Delta because Cathay had no flights and it was last minute...way too many stops/layovers took 31hrs flew Air Canada 3 times, and all three times the flights were delayed. Once I even had a 12 hour...

I told just the important stuff, any clothes ect we will buy new here. I want her to go shopping to start fresh. On this trip I...

    Ya, I put file number and UCI number in and on the envelop. I hope it's not an issue. I booked a flight for June 21 to July 2 awhile ago, and was hoping in a perfect world I could bring them all home with me. I am afraid I might have just screwed that dream/hope up

    Last time I paid for a third bag with Cathay, it was $150 plus tax. That was from Toronto to Manila. I am flying back now, sitting in Hong Kong. I just read the latest, and I am such a idiot, I never include the printed out letter when I sent in the passports. I never saw that last line! I am...

    Hey everyone, Been off for a few days, was flying to Philippines. Here now with the wife and kids. I sent a email to CEM and was very surprised when they answered in 6 hours....it was a simple question, so maybe that was the reason for the fast response. Anyways, quick question, I am about to...

    So, after 30 mins waiting for an agent, I finally got some answers for my file. CEM requested my wife's and kids passports. My kids are under the Canadian Citizenship program, not sponsorship. She said she never heard them request the kids passports when not part of the sponsorship. No one can...
