Hello all,
I am a Feb 2016 applicant. Apart from a medical request on 10 March 2017, nothing has happened for our application. No SA/AIP/DM etc. Today, we received a long letter beginning with "It has been determined that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent residence as a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class". However, there is nothing exciting in the letter, at all. Just general information. Has anybody got something like that. Should we expect some speedup? Or, that means, we are way back and should forget PR card before summer?
Thx



congratulations

@ Profiler: Sorry for jumping in but does that mean money invested their is not safe (say in MFs)? Just a career related question although it is kinda digression off topic, does your company or any nearby ones work on bio informatics related fields (Kitchener area) ? If yes do you have have name(s)? Thanks

Sometimes they actually take the bait though. One of the more well known (Big 4) banks repeatedly hammered me with requests to meet. 2 actually, one that starts with a C and one that starts with a T. C told me a ridiculous number, but that's to commute to Toronto. T was every week for 6 months to work in their lab in kitch making mobi apps... no thanks. I told them both that I make it a personal mission to never work in industries that possess the intent or the desire to screw Canadians.

Anyway, we have digressed.

MF investment in banks that take pleasure in causing pain for Canadians is out for me, as a general rule of conduct. YMMV.

BioInformatics: hell ya. Many! Do you want to remain in the software realm or software/hardware?

Well, the cruelty timer is when the kitchen closes at 1:30 for lunch and all of my morning meetings last until 1:29 on the day i didn't brown bag it

Batch emails....we get a lot of those...there as one delayed batch email about avoiding the area the goose is patrolling....sent about a week AFTER that punk *censored word* crashed into my head and i had to jump sideways into a bush.
Canada geese get that attitude from the south :).

MF: This is an area I totally, totally avoid. Money is my kryptonite. Wife is an economist by training, accountant by trade. Let her manage that :).

Off the top:
- Thalmic labs is working on wearables.: https://www.thalmic.com/
- BSI: http://www.bioinfor.com/
- Telus Health: https://www.telushealth.co/

Check back in with me tomorrow. I need to check my list, to see what other companies are around. There is for sure a moderate list in KWCG...
