Wow, congratulations! Bon voyage and try to enjoy some of the next bits. I am sure that lots of us remember with horror the out of body feeling of moving to Canada. You don't feel normal for a while, and whilst it's exciting, it's scary too, a good scary, but scary!

Hope all goes well and that you'll tell us all how you get on

Thanks both! I'm looking forward to coming out the other side, when the holiday feeling has worn off and it's just "normal".

The application process (common law sponsorship in family class) took about 3-4 months to have the visa in my passport, then i landed 3 months later. We ended up living in Stratford on Avon between applying and recieving the visa and both me and other half loved it there so that interrupted for a few years so just now officially moving! If we'd never moved to Stratford, we'd have been in BC years ago!

I found the whole process fairly straight forward, though probably other visa are more challenging.

Ah right. I've had an interview with a company over there and there waiting for the lmia's (LMOS) to come through from the government. Been waiting since May. Hopefully it'll be soon.
