Any PPR to July 7 transfers?
There have been a few actually .. couple in this thread itself. At a certain point everyone who did medicals in 2011 will have their medicals expired. They will get extended, dont worry folks!

It was just to give you a sense of the storm. I had seen worst ones here before.
Quebec was safe i guess. rainy morning followed by a sunny afternoon.

Temp 21 C!
great for this time of the year. but snow is on the way

Actually they have copied the Canadiam weather craziness into their very CIC

Can anybody guess when Ottawa will be able to finish reviewing the transfer files (as they said it will take several weeks to review the files). Also anybody got any information from their lawyers? Thanks

do we have to again bring police clearance from back home, if we leave at this stage for some work to back home?

We follow the posts here more than often.
When there is no important update on the process, its better to imagine a bright picture than a dark one.

The fact is that "Ottawa" is working by its rules. No one really knows how it works and neither can predict whats next.
It might be tomorrow, or next year. Med exams and Police certificates are likely to be extended well beyond the expiry.

by then, lets just hang around and help. and look at the bright side of the story!

They have worked hard to make it Paris in America;
It hasn't been that successful though :)

I prefer cities like Amsterdam.
But in Canada, so far, Montreal is the best far from the second.
