Question you guys, how long did it take for your PR card to arrive? I've been in Canada 7 weeks I think. :)

Haha, yea I found it amusing that the URLs were not working anymore ;) Question for you guys, what do you do about health insurance? Do you get a private one for the first three months or do you simply wait for Medicare? Also, am I understanding it right, that you just have to tell customs...

congrats you guys! It's like huge weight lifted off your shoulder, hmm? Good luck!!

wilson, thank you so much for the reply, that cleared things up for me! Must start to pack and see what I want to take with me, sounds like and easy landing for me :) thanks again!

I am sorry in advance when I ask questions that have been answered a hundred times, but the more I try to read things the blurrier things get. So here are my questions: -Before landing your prepare a list of things you're bringing with you. Do you write down everything? Even the lipstick in...

I plan to keep my checking account and not to bring much cash with me (a couple of hundred at most). I want to take my credit card and want to transfer money later. But less then 10,000CAD for now. How do I do this best? I am not bringing much cash, but will send money, and over the months it...

Thank you both! I am still rather overwhelmed, I didn't plan on landing so soon.. I think I'll land in the beginning of April... should be able to sort everything out until then! :D

ohhh I got my passport back! With the visa! So excited right now.... Must read the letter they sent with it tomorrow! YAY! :)

Thank you, Swede! I start to get all giddy now. ;D Read through a lot of info about preparing the immigration and what happens at the border, I am done for today, ha! Hope I'll see the "decision made" online soon.. it would be kind of reassuring! best of luck! bea

Question, after the passport has been requested... what do they do now? Because they didn't make a decision just yet, right? Why the request before? I'm just curious about the whole process itself. Looks like they need a month or so until they send them back (at least Berlin, from what I...

Congratulations, Swede! That's great news :)

See, and that's why I keep thinking that there's a catch! :/ I hope London replies to you soon. Hang on in there!

Thank you, Swede and Juche =) Guess I just didn't expect it yet. We will see. greetings, Bea

soooo.. today I got a letter from the embassy in Berlin requesting my passport... already? Does anyone know if this is good news? Do they just request it just so I can't get into Canada to stay there illegally? Or are they actually close to making a decision? Nervous again! ::)

thank you! I try to not worry so much. And for now I'm relieved. :)

They wanted the Additional Family Information form (IMM5406E, I think? ) which they got Dec. 18, 2009. TBH, the more I read on this forum, the more complicated it seems to get. Originally I thought you send in the papers of the application kit and that's it. Now I read about people who have...

Thank you, Swede! I hope the letter arrives soon, I'll bug my husband to call the hotline, though! :D

Hello everyone, I'm joining late as I just found this forum (yes, I'm a slow ;) ) My application was received Oct. 1st and now I got this update on the CIC webpage: I am wondering now, is that good news? I find different information on the internet and the letter still didn't arrive. Sorry...
