It's funny, because within the first few days of this week there were more PPR's then the last few week's totals. Maybe it was the Easter Bunny's surprise, since next week is holy week. It looks like your PPR with be in a month from now. Hang in there.. we have been waiting to be together for 3 and a half years. It's really torture.. hopefully you won't be in the old folks home before your visa arrives

Hey guys.. what's the best service you used to deliver your passports to CEM? I was thinking LBC is pretty standard, right? Is there an option like one day delivery for more money? I want to make sure it gets there as quickly and safely as possible. Any experiences you have would be great! Salamat :-*

Hi Steph. :)
LBC has good reputation in courier business so I guess you are good with using their service. I believe they have a one day delivery service, you just need to ask for the cut off hours so they can send it the next AM to the address.

Side note: CEM uses DHL for visa delivery, you might want to check their prices and services as well.
Good luck!! :)

Is your husband flying to canada as soon as he gets the visa?

DHL might be a good idea if CEM uses it.. thanks for the suggestion! Yes, he will come here as soon as humanly possible.. we have been waiting for this and planning it for so long. His family has already decided and divided up who gets what of our possessions in the Phils :p And we have already talked about everything we will see and do, how I will drive to Vancouver and get him and the dog in my car :D yep, it's all planned. As soon as they will ask for a remedical I will know we are approved.. but then we will be in a 3 month waiting game. So there's plenty of time yet, unfortunately.

Yes I think I will! If they're so familiar with deliveries to CEM then I think it's a good idea.. what about you?
