Hello fellow February 2013 applicants! I am very glad to see that all of your sponsorship applications are doing so well and that some of you are processing at an alarming rate!!

Sorry I haven't been active on this thread or this forum for that matter for quite some time. I have been extremely busy in the last couple of months trying to figure things out and that is why I come to you today.

After much thinking, deliberating and evaluating, my fiance and I have decided that our lives to not belong in Canada. Our lives belong together no doubt but this is not the right place for us. Come the end of this year, we are leaving on our honeymoon and will not be returing to Canada.

We have decided to withdraw the permanent residency application as it is something I simply wont be needing. We will be moving our lives to Australia (the place that we met) after a year of teaching overseas. More immigration paperwork but we both know that it is the best thing for us.

I wanted to wish you all the very best with your applications, your lives and hope you are all reunited with your loved ones soon. I am lucky, in that I have been able to remain with my wonderful fiance, and even luckier that she is as mad as I am.

I also want to thank everyone of this forum for the huge help I received in putting together my application. In a time of great stress, panic and uncertainty I was able to breathe a little easier by listening to the advice of many, reading uplifting and sad stories and finding a place where I was able to go through this experience with others.

I wont be joining you all to the finish line. But considering how slow Canada is and how quick Australia is, I'll most likely be a citizen by the time you get PR! So, I win! Haha. Joking :p

Good luck to you all, and here's to a speedy COPR for everyone!!

All the best!

Noooooooo!! Gary you're too young to run away!! nooooo!!!.. :p
Happy for you Sir!. I am planning on the same thing as you do. But I am still hesitant to do it. Opportunities are just around the corner here in Canada unlike in my country. And frankly speaking I honestly don't feel like this is the best place for me and my wife to live. It is a great country to live, but there is still a void in me even though I am imagining myself with my wife living here. Well, good luck with your decision Sir! Wishing you all the best in the world! I bet messenger is going to drop some tears when he reads your post gary.

Hey,
actually this email is the AOR from your VO.
I got the same thing from paris. they said they recieved it here in paris on fer 20, that's when it got to mississauga. Your ecas should eventually change, but it's really unreliable

If you check in the signature of that email, instead of the Mississauga processing center you should have the address of the sydney Vo.
That's how I realized it was the VO Aor

congrats by the way :)
Oh my goodness.. today has been a day of learning for me hahaha. It is from Sydney VO! :) i was confused by it saying they had received it the same day as CPC-M did... I never even checked the Signature!!

In that case...Gary please add my VO AOR as 24/3/2013? :)

Dear Gary

It was early morning for me when you wrote your message.

I am happy for you my friend and I know that you will make it and be in AUS asap. Never afraid of life's challenges and don't accept things and conditions just because they are practical!

I am wishing you the very best in any path your life leads you!

Please drop by at the forum and let us know of your progress.

PS. I would love to visit Australia as it is the only continent I have never been (although I have family there) but I hear that there are a lot of crawling , venomous, and big teeth things! :) :) :)

Take care! The best of luck!

Hey Gary! Reading your news was kinda bitter sweet to me but I totally understand you... wishing you all the best in the land down under! ;D
I assume Messenger will take over the updates, right?

Just wanted to share, I have inquired my VO (São Paulo) and they confirmed today they have my process! So I guess that's my AOR!

Hope you all have a great week! :D

Wow! Good luck Gary! Choosing to live in Australia is certainly not a difficult choice (considering this long drawn out winter and awful economy). I think if my husband was from a country a little easier to live in I might have made that decision as well. As long as I am with him and with my 2 kids, it doesn't matter. Though India was a fantastic experience, it was tough as hell on me.
I wish you and your fiance nothing but the best. Keep in touch!
