I would love to prove wrong what I said...and so as many asked so let me tell you what I said is only based on the information received from an authenticated resource from a Government department.
You said " the information received from an authenticated resource from a Government department." everything a government resource says should be posted on their website. It is their policy. Ask you resource to point you to a website link where we all can read this information.
Nothing is stopping you from executing your plans, u can do so. You want to travel you can do so as long as your WP is valid, if your WP expired, get it renewed and u can travel, cost to you is 150 plus the cost of your dependent.
You want to buy a house, you can do so, why not, your requirements should be to have good credit, down payment and as evidence you can show you have applied for PR and should be getting it shortly, moreover you can also show your job. And please do not say that you wont get a loan, I have a friend who applied for PR in May 2014 and just bought a house yesterday.
I am staying positive as much as I can, I know the process is taking long for no reason, but there is a process we follow. Rules have been put in place to be followed and we as good to be resident follow those rules. Please my friend, do not say things that have no grounds. It cause panic for no reason in many of us and that the last thing we need.
We knew up front that we will have to wait 13 months for PR or even decision, some of us got lucky and got it soon. That doesn't mean we wont get ours or the quota has reached.
respect that 13 month waiting period.
