Would I have to return to the UK for a medical? If so and we send my application in over the next couple of weeks, would I be able to fit a medical into our xmas plans whilst we are back in the UK between the 17th Dec and 6th Jan? Can you request a medical date or are you just given one?

I echo everything Pinklady says. Outland is by far the quickest route. Regarding the medical, I think you will find that prices are generally more expensive to have this done in the UK. I had mine done in Toronto for $148 all in. It can cost £300-£400 in the UK. Just check out the list on the CIC website of Designated Medical Practitioners and call around. You have to take a form with you that is in the application pack (appendix A i think), and make sure you leave with your copy of IMM1017 which they will fill out for you there. They will usually tell you what to bring - passport photos are required, they will tell you how many, what size. They do a chest x-ray, blood and urine tests, as well as a general medical questionnaire.

OK bored now. Application arrived 30th August. So today is the 71st day they have had it. Nothing in my inbox and nothing in my boyfriends (he's the sponsor). Can't check the post until later. Spam folders are also checked. Thankfully I have to go out for the afternoon, so cannot physically check or pester my boyfriend to keep refreshing his email. Hoping for a nice surprise when I get home.

Congrats to those who got ppr today. I just got an email from London vo informing me about the immigration interview but has not specified the date and the time. I was hoping ppr like everyone else. Hope everything will be Ok though.

In the PPR it says i need to send my past along with accompanying family members. Do i need to send my wife and daughters even though they have canadian citizenship?

Yay well done fidget! London is going so fast right now! I've got a friend in Canada who doesnt believe me that London is better than inland, I am going to print off the spreadsheet and tell him he's crazy! hehe

Completely true! A friend did inland, submitting their app in May/June 2010, only getting the first stage approval and able to apply for a TWP in April 2011. I think they eventually received full PR in July 2011. In contrast another person I know submitted in January 2011 and got their PPR 4 months later at the end of May this year. I can see no advantage to inland applications. Takes some people a while to realise it! Of course if they want to prove you wrong, who are you to tell them!!!??

Calling Rscmoore!
You are a few days ahead of me timeline wise. I was wondering if you have heard anything from Missisauga regarding first stage approval? We're both past the 70 day mark now, was hoping to hear that at least you had received a response?

Guys just got my PPR through!! Can't believe it, still in shock! Good luck to everyone else waiting, it is tough i know

Congrats Fidget! Amazing news!
