London Visa Office

[pharmacistfarhan]

Was going to raise CSE now, but the website is down, it says: The Case Specific Enquiry form is currently unavailable due to a temporary technical issue...

I checked, the webform is also closed for rest of the visa offices. I also intended to raise a case specific inquiry..........but due to that sent my email on ldnimmigration@international.gc

Hi to all!

I just got back from a 3-week vacation in Toronto, Canada to close a condo unit. I'm happy to see PPR's given to most forumites. I have submitted too my PPR1 last Aug 5 and hopefully to receive PPR2 the soonest.

Shouldn't there be .CA after the GC ???

A few little things I've discovered this week...

1. A transcript from your countries driving-agency showing how many years you've held you driving license is a very helpful thing - I got my Ontario license credited as if I had held it for the same length of time as my UK license - which sure helps with car insurance.
2. "Virgin mobile" is a good choice of cell-phone provider as they use Bell's network but at a cheaper price ("Wind mobile" sounds good but incurs roaming charges when you don't expect it).
3. "The Co-operators" is a cheap car insurer for new arrivals (the 2nd best quote I had was from TD Insurance)

All the best

Hi Loncan,

1. Were you able to get a G Driver's License? I was able to have a G2 since last October 2013 though I was in Canada with my multiple visit visa.
2. Public Mobile is also a good option.
3. What kind and year model of car you got?

Regards. 8)

Any news from KKBians today?

Hey

I emailed at CIC inquiries about status of application and they replied that your file has been transferred to LVO.

I think that's how most of the LVO applicants found out about file transfer apart from ferry1978 who got second line on ECAS.

CIC takes about 30-40 days to reply to inquiries.

A quick question..

I can see some of the FSW2014 applicants reported in the spreadsheet that their applications have been transferred to London Visa Office.
How did you know the date of transfer? Did you get an email (AOR) from LVO or you got a 2nd line in ECAS showing that? What I know is that 2nd line in ECAS appears only when PROCESSING is STARTED at LVO.

Appreciate your reply. Thanks.

If u r 2013 applicant they should have sent you an Email, the PER Email. Make sure that the lvo mail address is added to your contacts so it wont go the junk mail

Hi Loncan,

2. Public Mobile is also a good option.
3. What kind and year model of car you got?

Hi!

1. Yes, a G license. When the insurance people checked it they were told I had many years experience - so the license has basically been back-dated in effect The actual card versions of our licenses came 15 days after the temporary paper versions that were given to us.

2. Yes, I found 3 independent smaller networks, which are "Public Mobile", "Mobilicity" and "WIND". These are noticeably cheaper. There is of course a catch - which is that they "roam" as a fallback, so it is just a matter of checking the coverage maps when you buy to make sure you're happy. As long as you remain in their main coverage areas (Toronto etc), they are a cheaper option. In my case I found the coverage too restrictive (we did a short trip to Lake Huron and the phone we had borrowed was "roaming" most of the way), hence I looked for a cheap option with a national provider and chose Virgin Mobile.
I did notice that Public Mobile are changing their network so they might get national coverage via Telus without roaming costs (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/teluss-decision-to-shut-public-mobile-angers-consumers/article17703328/), in which case they may be a nice cheap option.

3. We bought a modern Nissan Versa. Small compared to the big trucks around here but doesn't eat too much fuel. I was tempted by a bigger vehicle with more seats but we have been able to borrow a larger vehicle when needed from friends because most car insurance around here covers a car for other drivers, so we didn't need to spend money on the larger "van" type MPVs. If I couldn't borrow a bigger vehicle then I would have bought a "van" - because we've bought a fair bit of stuff from Kijiji and you have to go and collect things.

Sorry I'm not following the forum much, and hope everyone is continuing to see good progress.

All the best.
