Validation trip or redo medicals
Hi everyone,
I am currently wondering what would be the best option.
Summary: 138, Australian Sponsored, frontloaded as advised by my agent on March 31st 04. apart from acknowledgement, not heard a thing. PCC and meds expire end of Nov 04 and I am trying to plan my work holidays in case i need to make an urgent validation trip.
1) how big is the chance that my visa will come through, considering that i am under 138 and there is the whole centrelink novelty. I guess if they contact me now to get the bond lodged, it would be anoter 6 weeks before the visa is issued, that would bring me to end of October and would leave me 2 weeks to validate. Is this possible????? Do you think that Dimia would consider extending the validity of my PCC and medicals? That would be a bummer because (see number 2)
2) i would very much prefer to redo the medicals as it would be cheaper than a return airfare.
Anyone heard about a similar case? What do you recommend? The thing is i would like to book a 2-week trip to Canada to visit my bf who will be there end of Nov. I wonder how long i have to wait before booking in case Dimia statues.
I asked my agent to check with Dimia whats up with my application....
Any advice appreciated anyway.
Also, something totally different.... anyone of you has ever worked for the ski resort developper giant called "Intrawest"????? I would like to go for a job with them and need all the info! Have already researched the net!
Thanks for reading!!!!

Only a couple of weeks left.
Back home to finish the packing on Sunday. Then I am off.
