Default panic !!!!! no brown envelope just a fax and a man

oh my g**

i faxed the canadian imm this morn as you can not ring work permits department to see the status of our work permits as we had meds last week . the phone has just rung and a man says " hello , canadian immigration here , i am just about to fax your permits through " jaw dropped onto the floor , 2 seconds later they are here by fax. i asked if these were all we needed he said yes and good luck.

i am now a total wreck , i can not believe they came this way, so i am going to be super busy as we were supposed to have started work 1st sept out in ontario , my son is already there.

when i stop crying , i best start sorting things out,

it is has taken from may 06 - sept 06

Woweee - you certainly never expected that to happen

If you are all set, better get those flights booked pronto and quickly organise a get together with all your friends. It'll soon be time to meet up with your son again. Congratulations and all the very best to you all

Congratulations!

I know what you mean about a long wait. We also waited from May 06 to Sept 06. It felt never ending! Especially when all around seem to be getting theirs.

I have to say, everything seems very sureal right now. We have been dashing about like blue a**ed flies for the past few days and are now officially homeless having completed on the house today.
We board the plane that will take us to Calgary on Sunday, whooooohoooo!

I hope you manage to sort things out ok. I have to say that things have really come together for us......so far!

Take Care.

Wow, well done on the house! That is by far the most stressful part of this process. We think we might be exchanging in a week, but there is still that horrible fear that it could all go t*ts up before that

Good luck!!!

Wow you really are going soon.

Congratulations! Hope it all goes smoothly for you.

I fancy flying off and getting in laws to sort out our movers as well now.

Exciting times.
