My first stop is the Marble Slab Creamery...maybe even on the way to my sister's from the airport!! Dinner at Earls...counting down the days (not counting calories obviously!!) ;D

If you are sponsoring him as your common-law then I think it's Family Class not Canada class. He has been lawfully in his country for more than 1yr if he is from here...the UK...I'm assuming he was born here, not originally from another country? Where abouts are you? (I'm in Worthing-nr...

I have been known to look on the websites of the restaurants we like in Edmonton and check the menus for what I'll have next time we go there!!! That's a great hobby!...or check out ticketmaster for all the concerts/sports events that we are missing or might catch if we get there in May as...

My name is Nic and I'm an Ecas addict.... Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery!! It's even worse now I have my I-phone because I'm now checking at restaurants, supermarket check-outs...it's a nightmare!!! Good luck everyone, hope your applications are quick xx

Yes Chloe, just to make the process that little bit more stressful you now know a decision has been made but you won't know what it is until the letter arrives! ::) sure immigration staff have a secret evil streak and have a bit of a giggle knowing how exciting it is when you see 'Decision Made'...

My partner & I had the same query, but decided not to get married just for the forms and we are now going to wait until we get to Canada and start planning the wedding then. We thought it would be a good excuse to get all our friends/family over to see us too !!

Yay Bonbon9!!!! Welcome to the next level of the waiting game!! What's the shortest time anyone has heard of a PR application being approved in? I've seen some really (really really) long ones that have gone on for years but there must be some happy stories too surely!!

WooHoo!! Got my approval letter today (issued 7th Oct). Unfortunately my fella is climbing Mount Kilimanjaro at the moment so I can't share the news with him!! A nice homecoming though I guess... Come on London, work quickly for me pleeeease

I'm in Worthing, England (on the south coast - very nice) and am hoping to be in Stony Plain, AB next May !! Yippee !!

Yay ! CIC did receive my app on 10th Sept....letter on its way to me....

I went to Jessops - not many people seem to know that a lot of their branches do passport photos. They did citizenship piccies for me & my boys, then I went back and they did our Canadian passport ones and my fella has had his PR ones done there now too. Reasonable price and because they do it...

Ever get the feeling that your application has been lost in transit?!?!? I was given poor advice from the Post Office here in the England and my application was only tracked until it left the UK (what use is that to ANYONE?!?!)....Getting worried now.... :'( Big congrats to everyone that has...

Do HSBC have a minimum balance for that sort of account? Someone told me it was £100,000 which is why I didn't look into it any further....it would be great if I could set that up (or if I had £100,000 to do it!!!)

I (sponsor) did all of it - apart from him signing his name of course!! He was very supportive of all the work I did by sitting next to me and watching various sporting events and occasionally pouring me a glass of wine !! ::) hee hee

I included both for my boys just to be on the safe side. I would assume that the passport would be enough because the citizenship card was needed to get one but i think that more information is better just incase!!

It only tracks up to it leaving the UK, having checked the website and in our Main Branch office since sending it ! I should have looked into it myself instead of listening to the Post Office staff but never mind....fingers crossed its there on someone's desk !!

Hi all....if anyone is reading this and hasn't yet sent their application yet PLEASE send it via courier or Royal Mail 'Airsure' NOT 'International Signed For'. I sent mine 'signed for' on the advice of the post office staff and it only gets tracked until it leaves the UK so I don't have any...

My old citizenship said '88, so I assumed the same as you. I only send my application off 3 weeks ago so unfortunately don't know if its right or not !! Sorry, not a lot of help, but at least we both came up with the same answer !

Hi all, I'm new today ! I sent off my sponsorship app on 3rd September, my visa office will be London. I am desperate to get out to Canada - I lived there until I was 9 and am now moving back with my little boys and my fiance (when his PR comes through!). My sister and her family moved back 4...
