already changed to decision made last week. I heard that once we finished landing, it will change to " completed". but at that time, who cares.. I won't go to check Ecas now.
Thanks Family - So the week before was it 'Medicals have been received' and then after a week it changed to 'Decision made' - 2 STEPS?
Thanks and enjoy the company of your family.

I went downstairs and wait for the mail man, I got the passports and forms.. just passports, COPR, letter with some requirements for landing and the immunization requirements for my 15 years old boy. I can see the proof of sufficient funds refers to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp which is the same link when you apply so as per that one people who already has a job it says: "You do not have to show that you have these funds if you have arranged employment in Canada." I will just take my pay stubs and some statements just in case but I have seen before with other people that they have not had to show bank statements since they were already working here in Canda. I will also take job confirmation letter just in case as well. So I am all done...ready, I think I will go either this afternoon or tomorrow if I can get the letter soon.

Superboy - Those are excellent information. Thanks for sharing. If you take your 1) Job Acceptance letter 2) Few Pay-stubs 3) Employment Id. Card and 4) Business card, you should be fine. It does not hurt to print a bank statement online too.

How far is the drive from Vancouver.

COngratulations to you and tour family, my friend.

It's about 30 minutes drive from where I am now located..I will have to hold just a bit because I was reading the immunization record for my 15 years old boy so it will have to be signed by a qualified professional or I need to see if I can obtain an immunization record straight from BC Healthcare

4mfamily, I just finished talking to a lady in BC health department of immunization and she is going to leave my son's immunization record at the switch board so I can pick it up tomorrow plus I am also going to send the .pdf format form provided by immigration just to have them looking at it and see if I can use either one of them (immigration one or health department one)...

Good luck with that. I think we are good with that since our daughter is 6 months old and she already had 3 immunization and we have the Saskatoon's Health Region's paper work on those. Sigh!
