In brief we came to Edmonton, AB, from Worthing, UK, just over 3 years ago on work permits. In that 3 years we renewed permits twice and transferred to another employer once.

Then applied for PR (skilled worker) without formal offer of employment (due to grouchy boss ) last June. And we finally formally landed today at Canada Place in Edmonton - easy peasy - all done within 20 minutes including queue time and retaking hubby's photo.

For those interested, our timeline for the PR is:
Early July 06 - applied for PR via Buffalo
Mid July 06 - received AOR
Early May 07 - Medicals and PR fee requested (no additional docs and interview waived)
June 1st - Medicals
June 10th ish - Medicals submitted
End August 07 - Passports requested and sent a couple of days later
Sept 25th 07 - Passports returned with visas and COPR
Sept 27th 07 - Landed at Canada Place - hurray

Good luck to those still waiting - we wish you well
