3000 RMB? It sounds like a domestic travelling. It's awesome.

I just spoke with our MP office and his assistant put in an inquiry about the status of my hubby's PR status I'm so excited. Just wanted to share with everyone =)

That's great! It should be quick. My MP's office got an answer in a day and I had sponsor approval the next day.
Good luck!

Hi everyone!
Glad/sad to see I haven't missed anything in the week I've been offline - hubby and I spontaneously decided to move at the last minute!
We're still in Canada (around the same area in NB) but moved closer to the nearest city for work - I was commuting 35 minutes each way (highway driving) and now my commute is SEVEN minutes! Beautiful!

Checked CIC - no updates except for the monkeys behind the computers have inputted our address incorrectly AGAIN. Honestly?! The first time when we initially applied had the wrong house number, and now that we've moved, the city was spelled incorrectly. Holy smokes.

Have a great week everyone!
Kate

Good Morning all,

Hello from Rainy Vancouver (but loving it...)

I really wonder how these people work...here is the worst of all what happen to us, back in India, thought of sharing the story...
when my wife applied for her passport (before marriage), first they took about 2-3 months to get the passport done, over that, they screwed up the gender part....from Female to Male...now on a serious note, how dumb do you have to be to do that...don't they see the picture??? or do they hire uneducated dumb founded people to work there...or is that a way of them making more money so that when you come back to them saying this is wrong, you fill out another form and pay additional fees and then wait again? .... that was one reason for late application submission for sponsoring my wife...

will share more stories in time to come...lol...don't know what else to do, other than waiting...one point of time, I used to write personal b;log, seems like, this is my personal blog now...my life...my emotions...same as our lives...our emotions...

Still waiting..but at least I'll be leaving for Vancouver in less than 2 weeks!! Here's another random question-
I have a fairly extensive collection of bluray movies that I'm quite proud of and I really want to get them to our house. I don't have room to pack over 135 movies in my luggage so I'm wondering if I can ship them?! What would I put on the custom forms? Would I have to pay duty on them even though it's my personal collection?! I thought maybe putting a note in with them in case customs opens the boxes..? Any comments/suggestions?!

I know when I brought back all my true religion jeans and other things from living overseas for seven years I had to pay taxes on the goods. I then proved that they were used and they belonged to me and I got a check in the mail about 6 weeks later with all the tax money back. But I think you will have to pay taxes at first and then get the money back later.

Hi my wife got her passport request from NDVO today. Please update the sheet to reflect this.

I guess the actual process has just begun. Hopefully another 3-4 months
