Hi everyone. My husband got his visa today and he will be arriving Friday night! Like others who have written about their experiences on visa day, he had to report there at 8am but was made to come back at 1pm and then again at 3pm, but no matter, at least he has it now and we are all set. We...

Thanks for checking Indira. Val

Thanks everybody for the good wishes! I was in a retreat for work all day so just got the chance to read all this. Indira, I just emailed you but of course you are likely finished work now. We ended up going ahead and buying the Royal Air Maroc one way ticket because the deal was good, and...

Hi Cindy, Take a look at flights and you will see that it is NOT cheaper at all right now. Vesna and I were talking about this last night. There are no bargains at all, we've been checking a gazillion different sites online and we're blown away. Believe it or not, Royal Air Maroc is the best...

question for those of you who have already landed in canada or your spouses landed in canada and the first point of entry was montreal: if you had 2.5 hours to connect a flight from there, would you make it through getting your bags, immigration etc.? how long did it take you to get through...

The good news continues.......we got the call to come and pick up the visa Wed. Mar. 12th!!! Today is exactly 4 weeks since the interview and by the time we have the visa, it will be one day short of 5 weeks. Whew! So my husband will be with me in about a week. I can hardly believe it after...

Hi NoonaAmeen, congratulations to you. so sad for us to still be waiting after our interview on feb. 7th-- 3 weeks today. this makes no sense whatsoever to us and we're really frustrated. maybe they're doing a group session and we'll be invited to the same one. i can only hope because i don't...

Thanks Cindy. It's been more than two weeks since the interview and the wait is getting very taxing. We thought it would be easier once we knew we were getting the visa within a few weeks but now we're stressing again, wondering why it's taking so long, especially since they were still asking...

Hi Becca, I spoke to an immigration lawyer and there is definitely no problem with arriving in Montreal when you plan to live in another province. Also, permanent residents are free to live wherever they want, so you could feel free to move to Montreal later if the chance arose. I'm glad the...

Becca, As I said in my post, I have a similar plan, so I sure hope it's not a problem, although in my case we'll take the train or bus to Toronto the next day. I can't imagine it really matters at which airport they arrive but I'll do a little inquiring to see if anyone else knows too. Val
