I'm the same - keep checking but not that much activity on this thread. There do seem to be quite a few of us that are in the limbo-land of being only a week or two into the process with London.

flexsingh

Been checking constantly over the last few weeks, still no further updates for us. Would agree not much activity on the threads etc, wish they would just hurry up and process them all in time for xmas!

You're just ahead of me flexsingh so I will be eagerly checking for your updates! Been in process in London since November 5th but heard nothing since.......so frustrating!! Whereabouts in the West Midlands are you from?

flexsingh

Based in South Birmingham, not too far from B'ham airport. As soon as I hear anything I will be sure to post on here. I have gotten into the bad habit of checking CIC twice a day lol

We got PPR today It’s been much faster than we expected. Here is my timeline for anyone interested.

13 Sept 2010 - Application received at CPC-M (Outland Common-Law)
8 Oct 2010 - Sponsorship Application Approved
28 Oct 2010 - Began processing PR application in London
9 Dec 2010 - PPR via email (ecas still says ‘in process")

Excellent! Thats great news! Also very quick - with my luck so far, i doubt mine will be as quick, but you never know!

flexsingh

hey thats great news. did the sponsor or the sponsored person get the email?

sarah_gaz

My boyfriend (the sponsored person) got it.

Mrs-G

That is great news - they still seem to be working through some of them in decent time then! Congrats.

When are you thinking of landing?

sarah_gaz

Thanks...we weren't expecting to hear anything until after Christmas.

We're not really sure yet when we're going to land, but it has to be before 6 Aug 2011 - that's when the medical expires. My boyfriend may go to Toronto on his own for 4 or 5 days in February to see what it's like in the winter. He's starting to get scared after feeling what -10C is like last week.

We're planning on moving summer of 2011 or 2012, but it depends on how much money we can save. I'm a teacher so moving any other time of year would make it even more difficult to find a job.

flexsingh

Winters are cold but you will live lol. I have experienced them there!
I wish my application was next after yours lol

flexsingh

anyone got the email address that they use to send the passport request?
Don't want it being blocked by my email filters

Mrs-G

That's funny - I took my husband over in Feb a couple of years ago to 'experience' a wee bit of winter. He loved it, but only 2 weeks, so hard to get the full impact of it. We're heading over again this Feb, as a reminder

DanielM

Do they just send an email when the PR is approved? I'm worried they'll get my email address wrong.

Getting ansy as we want to go over as soon as possable (hopefully late Jan early Feb).

I'm not worried about the snow as I'm going to spend at least the first week building snow men, forts and snow cocks.

suze_h

Haha DanielM I was thinking exactly the same thing, worrying that they will get my email address wrong and I will never know they've sent it out!! I really just want the PPR to come through now....so tired of waiting and not being able to work.

Congrats Sarah & Gaz! Hopefully we wont be too far behind you!

Flexsingh I am from Wolverhampton originally so not far from you.

Good luck to everyone who's still waiting!! Hopefully we see some more PPRs before Christmas.
