I know what you mean, it is a little ambiguous. But take heart from the fact they specifically used those golden words! I was recently told my file is waiting a full review. So I wondered if it meant therefore they've done an initial review...haha it's all guesswork and reading between the...

Sounds like In Process to me! I received sponsor approval a couple of weeks after you so hopefully myself and others aren't too far behind. Any change for you on ecas by any chance?

I use Moneysupermarket a lot for comparing insurance prices so it's probably your best bet.

Great advice - thank you. My IEC expires in 3.5 months so I'll be looking into this stat!

My app has been in London for almost 3 months already per my timeline on the left. Why the *censored word* would they even bother offering PNP if it takes 24 months. Why does everything involving the public sector here go grindingly slow and be besieged by backlogs. So PNP doesn't provide any...

In regards to the PNP route, how long does it take to process? My IEC visa expires early October so I'm 3.5 months away from disaster if my PR app isn't approved by then! I'm a contractor so I guess I could reimburse my 'employer' for the fees and see if they're up for it.

They actually went back to work this week as normal, given negotiations started up again and they were back in discussions. However the govt made the same offer that's been on the table for the last 18 months so the offer has been rejected and they are now back on strike, full bore. I would...

You've hit the nail on the head. The discrepancy between public and private sector. In my opinion, public sector employees at a senior level have it so good, that they lose track of reality in terms of what the private sector real world is like for the vast majority of tax payers. $83,000 (for...

Thanks Sweden - that's great! Appreciate the link.

I very much doubt it. Having a look at the spreadsheet, they are just getting around to Jan sponsor approvals now so I figured I'm 2-3 months away from going into process as it stands. Given the added delays this shitstorm is going to cause, I can't see me getting my visa this year. I would...

The offer was not accepted in this week's talks and it would appear that sadly, the rest of us still waiting are now screwed and they've walked off the job. Unfortunately we're now totally effed up. I'm personally going to start thinking of Plan B on the basis my visa probably won't arrive...

It's a work to rule strike, not a total stoppage. No overtime, only duties in the job description etc. Google 'Globe and Mail PAFSO' and you'll find a few stories explaining this :)

I noticed a few weeks ago that someone spent an age rearranging it. I'm sure someone felt it looked nice and neat (OCD?) organising the spreadsheet by the dates applications were received, but it would be much better to have the spreadsheet arranged by date of sponsorship approval. This is the...

My advice would be try to exchange it again when you go to the next city for your healthcare card as you do it at the same place. I know of many people, myself included, who were not asked for the paper counterpart when maming the exchange. It varies from staff member to staff member whether...

I tried this very same thing a couple of weeks ago. I phoned the DVLA to request a replacement licence, but they had been notified by Canada that I had surrendered my licence in order to obtain a Canadian one. There was a note on their system. Over a year had elapsed since I made the switch, so...

Unfortunately I don't know when fingerprints are needed outside of Canada :( Also mine were requested for an IEC visa and so the timframes would be like comparing apples and oranges. Sorry!

DO NOT GO TO THE POLICE STATION. They cannot help you, and you will need to get a private company to handle this for you. In Toronto, I used The National Pardon Centre at 2 Carlton St who also handle RCMP police certificate requests. I was in the same boat for my last IEC visa as apparently I...

Hey guys - Am I missing something as I didn't believe AOR's were sent for outland apps?

Hi guys. You will be pleased to know that what you are seeking exists because it is what I do! Long story short, met a Canadian girl in UK, loved my job, my GF's UK visa expired so I obtained an IEC visa and told my employers I was leaving. They asked me to stay and work remotely in Canada...

halpert - that's awesome news. Congratulations! If anyone can help with a question I have related to this topic, that would be amazing. I'm a British Citizen and I met my Canadian girlfriend in London, England (not Ontario!) in Feb 2011. I agreed to move to Canada at the end of her UK visa...
