Haven't posted here for a long time! I'm off work with a terrible flu and for some reason the forum popped into my head. Congrats DGT on your PR, and after a quick browse am I correct in guessing that scottishmaple still isn't done? WHAT?! Just as an FYI, it took exactly six weeks for my PR...

Oh man, I was hoping to visit the forum and see ScottishMaple with DM by now. Glad they located your medicals though. To those people having trouble finding work... Don't apply at Tim's! Apparently, they prefer to hire foreign workers because they don't have to pay them minimum wage. I can't...

My husband and I met on a forum. It's really not that unusual these days to meet online. :)

I went through a period of really hoping for an interview, because if they if they did have any doubts about our relationship, an interview would kill them! So it's not that unusual :) From what I've read on the forums, most people get a DM within a couple of days after an interview so it does...

"Sorry, you can't repeat a karma action without waiting 168 hours." Next time..

It's fine. Who has a fax these days, really? :p

Congrats!! Such good news :)

If they stamped your passport do it from January. That's what I did (I had a similar situation) and it was fine.

Just ask them for a status update, and even let them know about hoping to land in time for the wedding because of flight costs. I know Michty6 didn't get his visa until he bugged them, and they put mine through because I told them about my work deadline.

I got an email but it was in response to an email I sent them. They wouldn't have sent it if I hadn't been bugging them about it (which I think everyone should do, btw). I know some people have received their COPR before their ecas even changed.

Thanks guys :) Yeah, it feels really good! I can't wait to go back to work! I've never looked forward to a commute before :P

Thanks, Scottishmaple! Do I need to have a SIN to get OHIP? Service Canada and Service Ontario aren't anywhere near each other and I don't want to go to one to be told I was supposed to go to the other first. Might take a crack at the G1 while I'm there :p

So I landed last night at Rainbow Bridge! Was so weird, it took longer to get into the States than it did to actually land! But all in all it really didn't take long. We spent five minutes in Buffalo looking for somewhere to get dinner but seriously, Niagara NY is so weird. It's like this...

DGT! So, so sorry to hear this. It's so hard. I've been here for three years, unable to work... I totally understand where you're coming from. We've managed to rack up $20,000 in debt, I had bouts of depression with the whole thing, my poor husband, it's been so hard on him. I'm really sad to...

Thanks guys :):) Was such a huge help. We got to Niagara and realized we had absolutely no idea what we were doing lol

Do we go to buffalo or Niagara falls usa? Rainbow bridge?

Thanks everyone!!! Off to the border! Korma - LOL

I just said that I was absolutely sure that nothing had happened - and I was right. I think that even if you were in a horrible state being arrested is something you'd remember.

OMG it just came!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can land today and get my SIN tomorrow, right?

Thanks, Sweden! People who have landed... How long did it take for you COPR to arrive in the mail? I start work on Monday and I'm starting to get seriously antsy. It was sent out a week ago.
