Bit of a drama on the plane, we had a woman who was partially sighted and very demanding of the air stewards, who I have to say was very good with her. She got very angry when they wouldnt serve her another drink after the captain had put the fasten seat belts sign on for landing. She the proceeds to cry, wail and moan, also she started to be sick!! next thing I hear (she was sat behind me) was the call bell going, the steward got out of his seat to her she had passed out!! they carried her to the front We were in row 1 so basically right in the door way in front of me, they were trying to bring her round, they got on the phone to the captain to tell him we needed an emergency clearance to land (we were currently circling in a Q) She started to come round, they asked her if she had taken any medication or had any medical back ground they should know about she said no. It transpires she had drunk 3 bottles of wine,4 gin's and a baileys plus taken 3 tranquilizers!!!. We landed and 4 paramedics came on board - cheered me up no end - love a man in a uniform.;)

We waited in line at passport control, told the very nice lady that we were applying for work permits, she told us exactly what we needed to do and where to go next, said welcome to Canada and off we went. :thumbup:
Got to immigration, waited in line once again told the lady what we wanted, got out "the paper mountain" and all she looked at was the LMO number, gave us both work permits told us to go pay the $300 and then come back, I stayed with her and we chatted about the UK & Canada hubby came back with receipt she had already put permits in our passport while we were chatting. She then welcomed us to Canada and wished us good luck, she said we were nice people and we would love Canada.:thumbsup:

We then went to customs, once again very nice man this time, had a quick look at our papers said we didnt need any paper work from him as goods already shipped and we had a 2 year work permit, talked us through what we need to do once our good arrive and welcomed us to Canada.:thumbsup:

So thats the story so far. POE visa app was very easy, I was really worried about it but no need.

Sorry its a long post but thought you would enjoy the airplane drama:rofl:
