Sorry to respond late bro.. Just got back to this forum..
My VO currently is way to slow compared to other VO's. There are still May-July random MR's and PPR's. Though, most of May applicants got their visas on hand last Nov-Dec. But current pace is snail mode.
As for the destination, i have seen a lot of positive posts and recommendations opting for Calgary and Alberta in general. I may want to try my luck there initially. But as recent events, economy is not so good at this location due to the oil and gas as many of you heard in the news. I still hope that they will bounce back, it is still my preferred city and province. Toronto currently is too populated and means a lot of competition, while Vancouver has the highest or one of the top cost of living as been surveyed.
But hope all of us manage to get a decent life in our dreamland. I believe we all need to start from scratch again and walk our way up. Perseverance will eventually flourished in the end.
Still waiting for good news, praying it will be this month and soon.
All the best to us brothers..
