Getting There (slowly)
Apologies to Eam and Jan for using their user name in the title, but........
we received Mandy's Police Check on Monday, posted application to London yesterday, just checked online and it was delivered and signed for before 1pm today.
Just the wait now, with the Christmas holidays to take into account, for them to send details of Mandy's medical, then we should be on the downhill slope for our move to Red Deer next year.
Can't imagine yet what it will be like over Christmas waiting for a reply from CIC, it's bad enough now just knowing that they've received our TWP and SOWP applications.
We have booked flights, car hire, hotel for a recce trip in January so at least we have that to look forward to in the meantime.
Please send as much luck / Karma as you can spare, never know how much we might need it.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Thanks to all for your replies and best wishes. We feel the luck and Karma increasing as things other than the application also seem to be going well for us at the moment.
Hopefully we will hear something regarding medicals before our recce trip.

Re: Getting There (slowly)
Another update, it seems like the Karma and luck is working.
I sent my CV by fax to a company advertising a position in Red Deer. I had tried over the weekend to send it to the fax number on the advert with no success, got the fax number for their sales department from their web site and sent the fax to that number.
Within 30 minutes I had a phone call from the advertiser (Service Manager) and had a very constructive chat.
So less than 30 minutes for the fax to be picked up, passed to the right person and a phone call made.
We have arranged a meeting for when we are over on our recce trip next month.
Hopefully I will receive a job offer, if not at least I have started on the networking trail with prospective employers.
Thanks to all for the luck and Karma sent, it certainly seems to be working at the moment.
Best wishes to all and have a happy and peacefull Christmas.
