Hello, everybody!
Congrats to those of you who have gotten good news recently. It certainly is a reason to celebrate!
I'm new to this forum. I've been following this thread for the last couple of months, though (It's helped me to stay sane! Waiting is tough). So I'm glad I found it
.
I would like to share some of my experience as a 2013 inland applicant, in case somebody finds it useful (please do take into account that everybody's situation is different!!).
- I travelled to my home country twice last year,
before getting AIP. I didn't have any problems on the way back.
- I applied for BC MSP
before AIP, it was rejected. I received a letter from them, stating I needed to provide proof of PR processing (that is, 2nd stage).
- I applied for a work permit
online after I got AIP, and it was approved.
- I applied for BC MSP
after AIP, and I'm still waiting to hear something from them...
Hang in there, guys. We're going to make it through
(sometimes I wish patience were something you could buy). You all have a nice weekend!
