@hopetoland thats great! congrats :) We are moving to Toronto, so again we will not live close by :( We will be moving in December. His work contract goes until the end of the year and I am continuing to take german classes until then. Did you have these tickets booked before you got the visa...

I'm Canadian and I have never heard anyone say Aboot.. I think we say it differently than Americans, but the difference isn't that dramatic. The "take and bring" thing has me thinking though :P can you give an example

@Singh81 No problem, glad I could help and thanks for the Congrats :) Hope everything goes well!

@ hopetoland any news? thats exciting that you move so soon! What city are you moving to? Keep us updated on the process and how landing goes! haha yes that would have been nice to meet up, perhaps when we are in Canada! :)

@Singh81 I assume you are sending from within Germany?.. If so, this didn't end up being a problem. We sent it last Monday (they received it Tuesday) , and we received the passport back Saturday the same week via registered mail. (Meaning we had to sign for it.) I am still a little confused...

I believe they say at least 10 business days it for processing. What office are you going through.. My boyfriend and I went through the Berlin office and they went much faster.

@hopetoland Check your e-case.. I happened to check ours today (even though I looked yesterday evening and there was no change) and it says decision made. It also says that the office will contact us. If I didn't already know we have the visa, I wouldn't know what to think about it. Anyways...

@hopetoland that's great! congratulations.. it was so fast I can't believe it :):) we only sent the passport to them Monday evening.. and we already have it back, even with the holiday!

By boyfriend got his visa :) it took about 2 months!!! yaay :):):)

Best of luck!

It doesn't say for visa issuance at the end of that sentence? Weird.. I still think it seems positive though, don't worry yourself too much. We called around a bunch for the dhl thing, and apparently someone else had called 2 hours before us with the same question. But we had no luck. We also...

thanks everyone! :):):):)

oh okay, I didn't know you could do that. Enjoy your visit :) Hope things are going well in Canada as well!

We applied from Germany. I assume this means "outland"? I am the sponsor, so I am not entirely sure what we did. We live in Germany and we were expecting the 13 months as well. It was a bit of a shock to get the passport request so early. We still don't plan to move until December/January, but...

@hopetoland I use my client number from when my sponsorship got approved. Conseqeuntly, I type in my name, country of birth and birthdate. They might just be slow to update yours.. ours was updated late last week. haha I supposed to looks that way for me too :)

hmm I am not sure then. All I can say is we translated ours :)

Yup :) I believe everything that is in German needs to be translated ???

oh also is it possible that doc's request means documents request?

Thanks for your quick and thorough answer Jurjen:)

I think the idea is that you need to provide them with the account number so that they can send it back with DHL. Meaning that, whatever it costs, they would charge it to your account and you would then pay. There isn't any problem sending it to them, what gets confusing with DHL is when Berlin...
