How does it feel to actually get an ITA?

It's like Graduating, You feel happy that you achieved something but then there is still long road ahead of getting job / starting new phase ( in this case filling e-APR, gathering and submitting all docs)

After a long wait of more than a year, it definitely feels great! This May 2017 I would have lived here for 5 years and yet this is the first time I am starting to feel a little relaxed.

Erm, it's like being told your mortgage is paid off but you have to work in a soup kitchen for 3 months doing the dishes. Fantastic win but lots of hard work!!

Then you finish working in the soup kitchen for 3 months and are told you'll have to wait another 6 months while the bank decides whether you've paid back the full amount :p

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs

ITA is good but being BATMAN, I am probably the biggest pessimist you have ever seen, so until I get PR Card I don't feel like celebrating.

I feel the same way. Until the PR card is physically in my hands, it's stressful times all round ::)

For me it was lot of excitement from PNP rather than for ITA itself. For ITA I was completely surprised (did not await any so close before x-mass).

After that I went back to my account and started filling in information and cursing every time it kicked me out (time limit).

The best relax is actually after submitting application and receiving AOR.

I can't relax even after AOR, fear of getting assigned stupid VO for my application haunts me in my sleep. Probably after PPR I can relax.
