My husband and I have recently submitted application for spousal sponsorship and have decided that once we recieve good news, we would like to travel around europe for a week before moving back to Canada to celebrate...how is everyone else celebrating???

My wife, daughter and I celebrated with a nice dinner at our favorite peruvian restaurant here in Toronto... But we only celebrated the day I landed once we left the office with the COPR on hand. That's when it finally sank we had won the war.
We then went to Peru itself for the first time ever last year, but that was no PR celebration at all. More like a vacation trip.
Best of luck!

Sounds like great plans! We would love to go to Disneyland before moving to Toronto cause California is not too far from here and we're thinking of driving there. We have 3 kids and they would really enjoy that...us too!

I would like and probabely my husbund too, I would like to have a party (I bet it will be orginized by my mother in law, she said that once, only she needs me there, and I am glad becouse I don't know if I would manage doing it, I know nothing about customs there :)) where all our friends from Quebec will come and my husbund's family...and why not having a second wedding where my husbund's best friend would marring us... :p :p...(me and my husbund we don't practice any religion then I don't think it's appropriate to have a real priest since we don't practice any kind of religion)

We coud have two great motivs of celbration in the same day why not... :) ;).

Do that gives you some ideas... ;D.

We're probably going to have a nice meal with my side of the family. For me, I'm ordering the biggest steak they have and a cold beer (or 20!). This will be our son's first experience in Canada (and my wife's), so we'll take them on a tour of my hometown...it will be great...and I'm sure I'll have a good shiver of relief! Can't wait!

I will be throwing my husband a welcome to Canada, immigration party... It'll be very canadian themed but all the guests will be encouraged to come dressed up in their own culture clothing or one that they would like to portray for the night!

"Immigration" party!

The day cannot come fast enough!

;D ;D ;D ;D

Hi everyone, For me & my husband we will be having our actual wedding reception/welcome to canada celebration. Sooooo can't wait. We never had the chance to have the big reception/dance we wanted so we will definately be doing that. We are doing American/Canadian theme. from the decorations to the cake. whoo hoo!! Now it's just hurry up and wait a little longer. But the thoughts are wonderful. Have a great day everyone. :)
