Hi bsrk68,
I just discovered today this thread that you have put up and I find it very interesting and helpful! You're really such a nice guy and a God's blessing to us, new and would-be immigrants. I'm so happy to discover this thread and it's just perfect timing! I deemed it perfect timing because of two (2) reasons:
1. Our application for PR is already on the "in-process" stage and we've done our medicals just 2-weeks ago. If the trend continues, we may be able to get our visa in less than 4-months!
2. As we are already in the homestretch of getting our visa, my only relative in Canada, who initially promised to accommodate me and my family and help us upon our arrival, has turned her back and changed her mind. I thought everything is falling into places until this situation came along..
Item 1 is more of a good news while item 2 is a concern. With no relative (nor friends) to guide us in a country (specifically in a province that I wish - Toronto) we haven't been to is definitely a concern to me, for many weeks now actually. But stumbling upon your thread, it opens the ray of hope not only for me but also to those with similar situations as mine. Honestly, other threads are equally helpful and certainly informative, but for me this thread is the best! I can feel your sincerity of helping others..
Well, I'd just like to thank you for opening your heart and mind for all of us here in this forum. No questions yet from me as of now, since most questions that linger in my mind previously have already been answered by yours, capt. Qorax, Explorer101, and the rest (pardon for the sudden generalization).
You all are really magnificent! It's quite funny to think that a stranger does more good than a relative especially when the going gets tough..
Again, thank you very much... I hope you won't mind if I ask for some advice in the coming days/weeks once our visa has firmed up. May your God bless you always..
OJ
