Woot woot! Yeah! Party. Hubby and I are heading to halifax the night before the interview since its a 4 hour drive away, and we'll celebrate with a nice meal and hotel room to wake up rested and ready for the landing!
Yep, looked at my receipt and it totals 1040$. Just wasn't clear if that included the right of permanent residence fee or not. Yay!
The only time I have ever been in Halifax was in a car as we drove through it... it's on my list, though.
My advise for landing: don't stress about it, at all. And, for the love of god, don't laugh when they ask the questions you already know they will ask. They call it an "interview" -- but it's like getting your DL, or visiting a bank teller. You're not sequestered. It's very informal, and anti-climatic.
