    For those a little more experienced than me.... now I have had time to sit down and breathe...and read the document properly...does anyone know, under Medical Details, if surveillance code 1 means anything significant? Thanks

    Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

    Regular mail but signed for. It has taken a couple of weeks to get here though - I knew from ECAS that they started processing me on 13th August, and it says on the COPR that it was issued on the 14th August - not much processing then! But it then took two weeks to get here

    Oh no I had to sign...they just crumpled it up so it looked like the rest of the mail I think!

    COPR just arrived!!! All screwed up and folded in half by royal mail...no surprises there. Strangely it is valid until the 4th Feb 2014, which is one year and 17 days after my medical...bit random, but I'm beyond trying to work out their thinking! Good luck to everyone still waiting...I've...

    Same for me! It's not a bank holiday in Scotland on Monday, but I bet Royal Mail work to English bank holidays. Ah well, never mind

    Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

    It's been a while since I've been here, but I thought I would give a little update. I checked ECAS today and saw Decision Made! I don't know whether it came through today or not as I haven't checked ECAS for a couple of weeks, but it can't have been that long ago as it also says that they...

    Just be careful with the longer term travel insurance policies - mine is a year long multi trip policy from Insure & Go, but it specifies that each trip can only be for a maximum of 90 days...I only discovered this in the very small print! If that is enough for you I think it cost a little over...

    Social life in Canada vs USA

    I meant education purely for the pursuit of money. Quite frankly if someone is stupid enough to rack up crazy amounts of debt on some meandering decision path then they should seriously begin to consider whether they have the common sense, not just intelligence, required for higher education...

    Social life in Canada vs USA

    How typically American! Um I don't know, how about postgraduate education purely for the sake of learning something, making yourself a better person and, come to think of it, a better citizen of the world. Did the value of education as more than a means to earn money ever occur to you? Those...

    This is probably naïvely optimistic, but all the stories I read said that London is affected, but all the embassies where immigration specifically is affected seem to be in Asia eg. Beijing and New Dehli

    Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

    I think it probably was worth it...I just re-read the guidelines and to be honest I'm not sure why I have coverage as it does say visitors are not eligible in Manitoba & as I say, I haven't had the need to try and use it, so it may be that it wouldn't work anyway! Oh the complications!

    My understanding is that spouses are entitled to health coverage in some provinces. I have coverage in Manitoba...my husband was mandated to buy family coverage as he is married even though I am not in the country! Having said that I have not yet tried to use it! Have a look at some of the...

    My concern too...but I guess there's no way to know! And it's not even a nice sunny day to distract me from worrying!

    Landing Appointment Refused on No Grounds at 200 Catherines St. Ottawa,On

    Whilst I appreciate the comfort many people get from venting on this forum...myself included...it is taking it too far when comments are both offensive and, unfortunately, inaccurate. As far as the Acts of Union between England and Scotland go, they were signed into law in 1706 and 1707. The...

    Just logged out of eCAS and they are doing a questionnaire on the service...not sure how much attention they will pay to the answers, but they did ask if it would be useful to have email alerts for change of status. Other than that, all the questions were about the functionality of the website...
