I've been here in Surrey for a month now, have had resume and applications for for a couple weeks, and nothing. :( I'm a certified pharmacy tech (from US) with a couple years experience, and 3 more years of retail before that. I can't even get a call about an interview. What could I be doing...

I've always loved visiting Vancouver... I must have been lucky and got here during nice weather! I landed on April 14th this year and I think it's rained all but maybe 2-4 days. It's definitely an adjustment. I come from a real small town in WI and I know there are many opportunities to get...

It was raining this morning, we were in North Vancouver this afternoon and that wet snow was just yucky! Nothing compared to real snow in Wisconsin, but still enough to make for a yucky day.

Landed at Pacific Hwy this morning at somewhere between 3-4am! They didn't even ask me for my list of goods, just wanted to know if I had goods worth more than $10K or morethan $10K in cash. Took less than ten minutes, got a little paper flag and a microscopic flag pin too! Lady told me...

How much stuff did he bring? I wonder if they don't mess with it if you don't bring too much...

I'm flying Southwest and I'm going to have 2 suitcases and 4 large duffel bags... should be fun! I'm unsure what to put for my rings, I have the receipt for my wedding ring, but hubby lost the slip for my engagement ring (figures).

My flight is on Wednesday evening to SeaTac and I'll land in the very wee hours of Thursday morning. :) I think I've redone and reorganized my list of goods about 10 times now. I just cant seem to decide whats important enough to list and what isn't!

Visa arrived in the mail today!!

My return envelopes tracker has been activated! *dances* It will be here by 3pm March 26th. :D

They had my town name starting with an O instead of a D. A letter they sent still made it to me, but I don't necessarily know if the actual number would make a difference. I just sent them an email with the correction, it took a couple weeks for ecas to update it. I don't think it would delay...

I mailed my PP on the 15th and my return tracker isn't active yet either :(

Congrats on new baby jmni1! I wish Buffalo would email or put an update on ecas so we know when our passport and visa are on the way back. I've been obsessively checking the return envelope's tracking number and it's driving me nuts.

I just used the email they post everywhere for contacting them. I tried to make sure my email didn't seem like I was asking when my application was going to be finished or anything (I figured they would just ignore the email then), so I could see if they would tell me if my payment was...

I had mine done in Vancouver for $150 plus I think $40 for the chest xray. I had mine done over a month before we even sent the application. (I was waiting for that darned FBI paper to send everything). You just include the paper the DMP gives you.

My application has gone a lot faster than the 11 months. We sent it in the last days of Oct, so Mississauga got it beginning of Nov and I got my PPR letter yesterday. (It still seems like forever no matter how fast it goes!) I had my medicals and FBI request done before we sent the app, so...

I'm from Wisconsin, and had my medical done in Vancouver. It was only $150 there and it would have been almost $450 here. So I spent the $250 on a flight to see my husband and have my medical done at the same time. Worked swell.

So happy that I got my PPR letter yesterday! Had my pictures done today and sent everything off overnighted. :D

Yay Pharoh! I'm going to mail my passport, I can't justify the $300 airfare to Buffalo. Going to make my last day of work April 10th. :D I did not sleep last night!

I'm pretty sure my letter was dated March 11. I just wish someone could do my photos before 8:30 when I have to work. Oh well, maybe I can sneak a long lunch? :)

I got my PPR today! It came in the mail!
