PR Visas Today
 

Hi all

We are just back from CHC. We collected our PR visas today:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

What a long day - up at 5am to travel to London and queued for 2hours outside CHC (second in queue - heard some people at back of queue were sent away 2 weeks ago:thumbdown:). Couldn't believe how easy it was, gave receipt in, they handed envelope over and said "see you in Canada" and we were out the door in seconds.

Sorry Connors, didn't see your thread until we got back tonight, would have said hi:D - Congratulations to you - won't be long now.

Kept this a secret for 3 years, now we have to start telling people! In-law's are first tomorrow night!!!! Now they will know why we have been redecorating the house:lol:

Thanks everyone for all your support.

We have just recieved our NSNP nomination today so it's off to the feds with the paperwork tomorrow.

Once again well done!!!

Congrats Dean, glad to hear you have finally received confirmation:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Re: PR Visas Today
 

Thanks both.

Hoping to head to either surrounding areas of Calgary or Kamloops. Going to do another reccie early 09. If house sells it will be a permanent reccie!

Thanks all.

How very wise you are...we wish we had done that and had therefore bypassed nearly 3 years of "have you heard yet?!"

Most of all though, CONGRATULATIONS, it's all done at last. Our main blog below (not the weather one) will give you a little reminder of Calgary and surrounds and also covers a little smidge of Kelowna.

Kind regards,

Eamonn & Janet.

Gosh how have you managed to keep it secret all this time, it will certainly be a shock to the family. Congrats and hope it is not too long before you are here :)

Its been so hard to keep. We didn't tell the children (13 & 14) until 18 months ago - its been killing them since!! To start with they had all sorts of stories from us as to why they need photographs etc!

They are telling their school friends on Monday. We thought best to tell some of the family first:eek: OH parents tonight, mine next weekend as they live in Cornwall - they made it easier for me by moving away a year ago, I don't feel so guilty now:)

Its a great feeling to actually have them in your hands:thumbsup:

Re: PR Visas Today
 

You did well to keep it secret from your children. ;)

We decided to "tell" our 6 yr old of our plans the other day and he turned round and went "yeah I know, were going next year":eek::eek:

Not that we have been talking about it constantly in our house for about the last 9 months!!:rofl:
