Dear friends,
It is my HOPE to welcome all of you as citizens before October 2015. I truly believe that we need brave people like you to reshape the future of this great nation of us. May your wishes come true ASAP!

I have been reading every single post (whenever I have time) and I am so proud of all of you. Things have been going so smooth with a team spirit and the attitude of "no worries, I got your back" on this thread.

A story that cracked my code: asagalen was waiting for his AOR and one day developed the idea of wearing suit and shine shoes, someone suggested a matching tie. Ever since, this has been working for our members. I always smile whenever a friend got AOR after promising that he/she will do the same. Can we try this for test and oath invitation letter or to get a new job?

I would like to thank everyone, in particular asagalen who has been updating our December spreadsheet. I am inviting you to login and thank him for the hard work.

Best regards,

Absolutely, thank you guys for all the hard work.

Hello,

Finally received my acknowledgement, yesterday.

Funny thing is it's dated Feb 16, 2015; So it tool 15 days to reach me? And even funnier, on Ecas it says, "we received your application ..... on Dec 10, 2014"! I sent it on Dec 15, 2014.

That's some Marty McFly BS. (not that I'm complaining)

 

[odin2404]

Oh, and to the owner of the "spreadsheet", who's doing a fantastic job.

Please update my AOR date as 02-16-2015, the day it's dated or 03-01-2015, the day I got it; whichever makes more sense. It says the cell is protected.

Thanks

I started the suit-shoes thing, not Asagalen lol !
But I agree Asagalen deserves to be thanked for all the effort he is putting to keep the spreadsheet clean and up to date. Thank you Asagalen for your work !

And thank you everybody for all of your kinds words about my receiving AOR ;D ;D

That's so true and thank you for the correction.
Cheers,

My ecas got updated to IP today (was still "received" yesterday):

Received: Dec 1
AOR: Feb 18
ecas activated: Feb 20
IP: Feb 27

I noticed that some cells in the Google spreadsheet is protected and we can't change the color. So my row looks funny now

Guys,

Hold on to it! Summer is on the way, and I will be wearing my Bermuda shorts with my Maple Leaf Flag instead.
