Was curious to know how long does it take to get the passports back after the status changes to DM, hoping there would be no negative news after all this long wait, my entire timeline is on the left side panel...... wish everyone get their passports back soon............

I am interested in moving to Edmonton or Calgary, any suggestions willing to do any kind of jobs...

Hi gcctocanada,

good to hear that you will be moving to Edmonton, the weather is really nice here these days it even goes upto 14-15 degrees in the afternoon which is unusual for this time of the year (thats what people says). I am new here too and trying to get used to this cold whether but at the same time where ever I go people warn me saying it will be really cold in winters when the temp will dip to even -40 degrees. Hope you bringing loads of warm cloths with you.

Rest I wish you a safe and smooth journey to your dream land.

"WELCOME TO CANADA"

Thanks
Arvind
