Re: What's the average age
We're 33 & 32, will probably be a year older when we land.
37 & 41 aint old, but I'm glad I'm 33

What I define as old, is always an age at least 4-5 years above my own. My mum asked if I was planning to stay in Canada the rest of my life, and I told her I didn't think I'd stay to grow old there. She wanted to know what I meant by 'old', and I told her "around 50". *grin* She's past 60, and wasn't too happy with my answer.

Re: What's the average age
That is an interesting quote.
If I feel someone younger than me - apart from the slap in the face does that make me feel that age??? if my wife notices the red mark on my face I am sure I will feel a lot older

37 is not old! I'm 37 and a few months ago I received British PR (I'm Canadian). I don't feel old at all.

Re: What's the average age
30 when I originally applied (spousal sponsorship)
31 when I landed in Vancouver and got PR status.
41 when I finally used it and moved here.
