I don't think they care if their books balance either. Got issued a visa and a $150 refund .... Well, ok then!

Nothing says "oh Deere" like a John Deere. Versatile, can't afford Deere. Will get duties, I'm expecting about $8000. Still a lot cheaper....

And finally, my card arrived!!!! Woot woot. Now I can go down and pick my new tractor from Idaho!!

I'd be keeping the envelope with post date, photo copy and send in if they question it.

We need someone with a camp job to chime in, that's done it. I have friends that do 4-6 week stints up nth and then home for 3-4 weeks. Any drillers out there??

I second the mail forwarding. We have ours until next may, it didnt help when they tried to post stuff to a residential address over the postal address, but that's another issue.

That's bogus. I'm from a visa exempt country (Australia) and I still have to wait for my card to get a SIN.

Even though it was checked at landing (yeah, let me correct that for you...) I am not holding my breath it's going to be the right address.

Same. We moved in march, I changed our address a week after arriving. Ecas always show our correct address. They were still trying to send my DM to our BC address, not even the postal address in the original application, cause well all know how hard it is to read "postal" and "residence". Even...

No, we gotta wait. Oh well.

All they asked was: Is spelling and address correct Have you ever been charged/ convicted of a crime or offence; refused admission to canada or ordered to leave canada Have you any dependants other then those listed below That was it!

As for dress code, we rocked up in what we feed out in. Jeans, t-shirt, down jacket and bogs.

Landed!! Ok, so anyone landing Edmonton here how things panned out. We arrive 0910, letter said 0930-1130 or 1300-1430. I landed just after 1300. Pay for all day ($20), bring a book, pillow, iPhone charger, snacks etc. you have no idea how much I wish I brought a pillow (was up at 4 to feed...

Sitting in edmonton, waiting to land.... We arrived at 0910 it's now 1100. Maybe a good thing we paid for the full day of parking..... Should have brought a book....waiting area is FULL!

Just got a brown envelope from CIC!! I land Nov 18th. It seams to be a free for all, first come first served format as it just says to show up between 0930-1130 or 1300-1430. I think I'll wear my Boxing Day sales gear :D

Ok, question time! For those of you that got AIP and DM in a short time span, did any of you by chance get the money for your visa refunded, seeing that you would landing shortly? And those who already landed in Edmonton, how long did it take them to contact you for your date?

Here's a FYI for those in Alberta. In regards to Alberta Health Care, even if you have NOT received your visa (or landing date yet) you can still be added on you spouse/partner/ etc provided you have your CIC AIP letter stating you are eligible. Couldn't get much more out of the agent re: back...

Just you wait! How many can we fit on one combine to get to and from the said bar? No cab or buses here! It's kinda like Corner Gas, minus the gas station, dinner, pretty much everything but the pub and post office, we have those two :D

Caaaaaaaaaar- Chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing! Just got another email from cic!! Guess who edmonton will be contacting for a landing appointment? App received: nov 8 2012 Aor: jan 05 2013 AIP: sept 25th (that was the day wasn't it??) 2013 Decision made?: oct 1st (pinch and punch, no returns!) 2013...
