I actually gave my notice period before getting the passports back, though my wife advised me against it. I just want to be in Canada like now now. Hope Nov is still manageable in terms of cold as I come from the other extreme where it goes even 50 C in Dubai. We plan to buy all our warm clothing in Canada as this has been the suggestion from many who migrated.
There is very little info on Ottawa available, infact I was thinking of starting a new thread hoping to get some advise about the city. We are certainly looking for short stay with utilities until we figure out where the safe neighbourhoods are and also good public schools for my daughter and then move for long stay. I'd very much appreciate if you could share some info from your research.
Jan would be very cold but I guess you would be used to that climate staying in the UK.

Dear ASMB,

Ottawa has been voted best city to live in Canada on 2012 and it's been voted the same before (I did not know that...). Check out these sites that I've found. I reckon you can find helpful info there....I'm gonna look into Ottawa as well as it is looking promising (my husband is not gonna be too please if I decide to change cities again but we don't wanna move the boys around once we land so we've gotta get it right the first time). In any case it's looking cheaper housing wise than Toronto, still need to check the wages for chefs though.
Anyway, here are the sites: www.settlement.org (that's for Ontario and has lots of info)
ottawa.ca/en/ (click on "social and community services" and that will give you a link to immigration and lots more)
www.viewit.ca (that's the best for rental searching, recommended by a Canadian friend)
Don't forget to contact the settlement agencies they have been created to help new immigrants to settle in canada and have lots of info. I'm planning on contacting them before I leave just to get a head start......good luck

That could be a thought only with less practicle relevance, have faith u will receive MR soon, my additional docs were also recived by LVO on 10th September and then on 2nd October they requested Form A again .... at least u should be happy to not receive Form A request again 2nd time like me. :(


Thanks Shahzad, best wishes for all of us still waiting for any update.

There are times we get so frustrated waiting that all sorts of ideas creep in. But I am sure Aba's fears are not true at all. The VO's performance is also appraised and they cannot resort to cunning methods. It is not their concern nor the objective to try and refuse many. All they are concerned about is doing the assessment accurately. Remember they can be sued if they are at fault, they won't take such risks.

I believe the VO's are all working very hard and are equally victims of the system as we are. I'm sure many of us can relate to this while working in our offices. It's not always our fault that we are unable to perform the best. The program assistant cannot forward your papers for security checks (which is to a different dept) with gaps in your history. If they do, it will be returned back to them and reflect bad in their performance. They have to ensure everything is correct and complete before it is sent for further processing.

We have seen so many getting confused with the past 10 yr or since 18 yrs requirement. When we did our application we did since 18 yrs, just use the same and complete for the next year or so and send them. At least the new members know this problem and can ensure they send the correct and complete history to avoid any delays.

You are very correct ASMB, thanks.

Hi Chizzy,

I think there is 2 reason why VO may ask for forms again (I was asked to re-send form A too). Either the VO has found a gap or the form was filled for info only for the past 10 years. I know the updated forms to say in Q8. "personal info from age of 18 or the past 10 years whichever comes first". However, that does not comply with the LVO requirements, which needs information from the age of 18. Unfortunately the forms are geenric ones issued by Ottawa and the LVO cannot do about it (I know this because that is what my VO said to me). When I was asked for them my VO gave me the option to scan and e-mail the forms and that saved me time, also I has already done MRs. And within they I got PPR.
The fact that they have requested the forms again is not too bad. It means they are working on your file. And if you had had already your MR done it means that your file is back with your VO and the med section is finished assessing your MR.
Hope this info helps you....wish you smooth processing from now on...


Thank you Yolanda for the good wishes and taking your time to explain all these, it was much appreciated.

Goodluck with getting your passports back soon and wish you safe landing. :)

I think it is because the jokes you make on this thread are not what the Canadians would consider funny :P

I hope something starts moving for you soon as it really is getting beyond a joke with your timeline.
Ha Ha. Have the Canadians not beaten you up yet for being an Aussie? :P
