That is Brilliant news!!! Well Done!!! :D
Thanks everyone...and Samba, a special thanks for your help and advice. I did send an email enquiry to them as you suggested and it worked...this time! It was nice to sort of follow in your footsteps...gave us some idea of what to expect with the RCMP check.

Inl...try not to get too down. I do know exactly how disheartening it is. I watched most of the London November group get through late February and it was awful being "left on the shelf" Keep the faith and we will keep our fingers crossed that you will hear something soon.

Haha!! I think we can definitely class ourselves as RCMP check guru's!! I don't think there's anything we don't know about the flippin things!

Have you got a date for landing!? - I'm off to pick up my Visa on Thursday and will be landing in just over 3 weeks!

Can you please add me to the spreadsheet pinklady. Our application was received on June 1st, 2011 in Mississauga and I was accepted as a sponsor today, July 11th, 2011. Our application is now London, UK bound!

Many thanks!

My partner is dropping off his passport this Thursday...you may see him! Not sure when we are going yet. House hasnt sold yet so we are kicking some proverbial behind with the real estate agents to get it shifted. Dropped price and we are in a good location, good catchment area, good commuter location for London etc. Medical/visa expires October 25 so we are hoping to be gone by then.

Good luck with your landing in 3 weeks time. Not long now for you, you must be thrilled to finally be able to get life on track and out of limbo land.
