March 2012 applicants, join here! : )

[Sweden]

I'm doing the same Sweden. At the moment we are going to be going on the 20th Sept ... (so long as they can book the dogs as well, so possible change of date there). Would be great to hear something before we book or will have to book a return flight for me. Family have a celebration planned and a big get together for thanksgiving, so would be great to get there and say we're here for good

that would be indeed! I have bought my ticket, and it's a one way! a bit scary as I don't have any idea when I will get my PR; but well - taking the chance ( and not travelling with dogs, so it makes it easier!). fingers crossed that something comes through!
Good luck,
Sweden

Good morning to all,

Just a little open question for everyone. We received our DM2 on Monday (August 20). Do you think it is safe to book the flights now for end of September (25) before having received the passport and documents back? The historical data we looked at seems to let us think that my wife would receive everything within 10 days from Beijing. Anyone as an advice? We want to keep the good price we have this week for our flights!

Thanks,

EdRick

Just saying I would be afraid to book them just in case, you never know with immigration. Can you get a refund on your tickets if you can't make the flight?

New update for VO and backdated
(August 20, 2012)
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/fc-spouses.asp

it says something stupid
"Processing times are shown only where an office has finalized 10 or more cases in the past 12 months."
it used to say something more sensable
Processing times are based on 80% of finalized applications...

Well the dogs flights were being booked today and was hoping to get something as I have to book our flights within 24 hours to be sure of getting on the same flight as them ... and I REALLY didn't want to book a return
So what happens now... will I get email or will something come through post anyone know? Thanks.
