Have just done my landing at Cootes AB. Pleased to say was a very straight forward process which I shall recount here; Rode, yes on Motorcycle taking advantage of unseasonally sunny weather the 250 odd K`s down to Cootes on the Montana border. There is a closer land border post to us , however...

Hi VF, sorry for delay in responding. My ECAS was updated after I had received the COPR. The office did not contact me, just sent the COPR forms to address here in Alberta by international regigistered delivery direct from London, took about 9 days to get here. The notes that were included in...

Having alternatley had a phone glued to my ear and face stuck to PC screen, I had elicited the info on getting COPR done at Lethbridge, (Or anyother inland CIC office I imagine). You have to phone the link line number on the instructions sent with your COPR forms, then after being on hold and...

Got my COPR paperwork through the post today, form is dated 16th Jan 2012 and was mailed out on 18th Jan 2012 , received her in Alberta 27th Jan. Just need to figure out what border to present myself to. Have been told, am still looking for confirmation, that as I am in physically in Canada, I...

Sorry, should have been more clear. I have already done the check and had it forwarded to the Londan High Commission. My point was this appears to be a new thing, as other ex forces guys who have been through the PPR process have not been asked for this check. Was trying to give any guys who are...

Hi all. May not affect everyone, however, I am "In Process" with the London office, have completed the ACPO forms stating Military service, yet they still requested a Service Police Check be completed and sent to them. Others I have spoken to with the same background have never heard of this...

Hi Leon, Many thanks for the clarification. Daughter is being very uncommunicative , and has been for over 12 monthss, not for me to say, however, I strongly suspect her mother, (Note lack of capitals to show disrespect) may well be influencing her actions. So I am not holding out any strong...

Think I may have found the answer, buried deep in a paragraph in one of the guides I have been reading. Seems that I MUST include her in forms anyway. Sorry for asking Bone question.

Hi all, Am busy ploughing bthrough forms and vauge info from Immigration Canada, hoping someone here has a quick answer for me. Background I have one Daughter from my previous marriage. She hhas completed University, last May, has a job in UK and is in a serious relationship with a chap...

I got 14 out of 20. Is this why I keep buying cr-ap I really dont need from dodgy salesmen? Thank God for spam filters on e-mails , or by now I would have probably sent all my bank details to the exiled King of Kodogoland to help him get his treasury out of the country or something.....

I know what you mean Spacey, more so in the States than Canada, they have a real thing about hearing a British accent, despite mine being twinged with "Brummie" , and the whole," My aunties, neighbours , babysitters, cousins, cat feeders friend is Irish. Makes me feel soooo connected to the Old...

Random happenings in no particular order of strangness... But some were more fun than others trying to get used to. Standing at a bar waiting to be served, and being totally ignored because server is waiting for you to sit down so she can bring beer to you. Very dry mexican standoff until a...

Cheers Baloo, have spent several hours on here comparing different experiences from different people. Only thing they have in common is the amount of hoops they had to jump through. Hopefully, my case should be pretty straightforward, I have a lot of what they call proof of growing/sustaining...

Depends on what trade they are, Techs are too important and have a man do that kind of thing for them. Lineys, cant type because their knuckles are all grazed from dragging on floor as they walk. Should add, as I am not only a VM, but also Reccey Mech Trained, this could also apply to me

Thats Bleeps!! (Or Scaleys) And they`ll never pin it on me, I was on `tinternet all along Guvnor

That man of yours sounds like he is straight out of a Charlotte Bronte novel. His name isnt Heathcliffe is it? And no, romance isnt dead
