Ahhh, ya lucky bugger.
I'm back in Canada now. I used to live down in Phuket, had a small burger restaurant, the girl I was with ended up getting pregnant so I returned home to get things going. I'm looking everyday for ways in which we could just live there together. Something about Canada that just doesn't do it for me, which is a horrible thing to say on a board full of people willing to give their lives to be here -- I do realize we're very fortunate. My wife and son live in the northwest region, in the province of Kamphaeng Phet.
My app was received by post at CPC-M on June 28th - so it was processed in about a month exactly, pretty fast. It does say 80% are finalized in 17 months in Singapore, which is crazy. One can only hope for the best eh.
How about yourself? Where abouts are you living? What occupation is affording you the luxury of staying in that fantastic country??
Good Luck!!
