We have now landed and my hubby is officially a permanent resident!
A few updates for those who may be landing from Vancouver Island -
I called CIC to check the nearest office in case we decided to make an appointment - there isn't one on the Island! So if we had decided to make an appointment we would have to go to Vancouver.
I also called CBSA to double check which borders we could actually land at, and although there is a border crossing at the Victoria/Port Angeles ferry it is not staffed to handing the landing procedure, so we had to leave the island, and went to the Douglas/Peach Arch border crossing. We flag poled and came back again. No problems.
canuck_in_uk you were correct - if we wanted to land at Vancouver Airport (Or Victoria) we have to be arriving from an international flight...you can't land at an airport without leaving the country.
So all done. As others have said before this was an invaluable resource. Thank you ALL SO MUCH for your help and advice along they way.
