Just thought I would let you guys know that OH has now landed on Canadian soil.

Phil flew Zoom Gatwick to Calgary via Glasgow and seems to have had a good flight (just spoke to him courtesy of my cousin )

Was due to land at 3.35 local and made it in by 3:15

Everything went swimmingly infact the pilot took longer parking the plane than immigration took Didn't even need a goods to follow list for customs due to the fact that I am following afterwards.

My hubby is now a proud owner of a 3 year Work Permit - more than enough time for us to secure PR

Very happy Gaynor

ps - will probably come crashing down to earth tomorrow at 3000 miles per hour when I realise that this is NOT a Dream

Congrats Burt!

Just remember - one step at a time

thanks hun - really must try and go to bed
no fun on ya own tho

One step closer for you guys, hang on in there.
I was in the same position as you a month ago and that went so quickly.
It will be worth it in the end, as most will tell you.
Get your OH to send you a copy of his WP for you to have when you land, as this will speed things up for you as you will be granted in line with him. Also a copy of his job offer letter and marriage certificate. I had the marriage cert but forgot the other two like a dumb ass

Congrats, such a great feeling (maybe not as hubby not there)..

We also got in 15mins faster than said, and the time took by immigration was shorter than getting a bank account

Glad every thing is working out well for you both.

Hi Gaynor

Glad hubby arrived safe and sound. Wow he was lucky with the three year work permit.....was that stipulated on his LMO??

It will be long....and you will be there too.

Take care

Pete

We too got a 3 year permits, um er, all except Mr Yes-can-do (the one with the job). His passport expires June 2008 so his WP only runs til then.

Anyone entering on a permit, please make sure you have several years left on your passport !!!

Hi Pete

The immigration lawyer put a letter together for when Phil got to immigration setting out the grounds for employing a foreign worker and what fab knowledge he would bring over to Canada. They ended the letter by requesting that immigration issue WP for 3 years and he got it !!!

This means that I can now go up for sale - as was advised by the lawyer not to do anything until we had everything in our hands.

Very Strange tho only cooking for 3 - keep getting a plate out for phil

Best of luck to you both sides of the Atlantic.

Congtrats - hope you follow on quick!

Hiya Gaynor

Glad your Hubby landed safe and well. Sounds like everyone survived the drive back to Manchester

Hope all goes well with your house sale. My hubby has just had to sell our current house and buy our new house in Calgary on his own as all the action happened whilest I was on vacation!!!!!! Not a great experience but at least it kept him busy

Before you know it you will be reunited and wondering where the year went.
Best Wishes

Congratulations to all of you Gaynor.Well done for holding out and doing things the sensible way.I think you're very brave hanging back and sorting everything out at that end,take my hat off to you.Fingers crossed your house sells quickly then you'll be on your way.
Best of luck

Where you moving to Tanya?

Good grief Gaynor!

Think of all the positives of having your own space for a while!

You get to do everything YOUR WAY without having to consider another!

( You might just get too use it... poor Phil )

Take care!
