At last our Visa's arrived
Well THAT day finally arrived today 
It was the first day in months that i didnt check my emails prior to going to work, as i get out the car there it was the email notification from canada post on my phone saying our 'delivery' had arrived this morning at 07.37 so i phoned the hubby who, happened to have the day off to go get them from the mailbox.
They were not there
he drove around the area and spotted the delivery van parked up around the corner and sat in the car waiting for the lovely post lady to pop the key into our mail box, and so she did, he even saw her put the big return express post envelope into the larger box, what delight !!!! needless to say it was the longest day in my life, i sped home to look at those lovely visa's how cute they look 
so we plan on landing tomorrow after we both finish work, excited but nervous.
I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has been so kind in offering support and guidance over the past 2.5 yrs whilst we took the journey from the initial BCPNP application to permanent residency, you have all been fab.
We love our lives in canada, BC is beautiful and we still drive around with smiles on our faces.
To all those still waiting- hang in there it truly is worth that wonderful feeling that its finally over and the rest of the future in canada is just beginning. Ive learnt so much about myself - mostly to be patient and to be a stalker of the postal service
thanks again and
to all those still waiting
here's hoping the hangover isnt going to be too painful

Re: At last our Visa's arrived
i fear too much of this has happened already
landed at 14.37 today, pretty painless experience and even told the officers we'd bought champagne to celebrate landing which they allowed us to keep !!! we even got a congratulations AND a welcome to canada
THE BEST DAY SO FAR!
thanks to you all for the well wishes and again goodluck to those still waiting.

Re: At last our Visa's arrived
Hi cool congrats!
I notice you are in Abbotsford. We are landing on Saturday and are renting an apartment on the west of Abbotsford (it's on Lefeuvre Road just north of the main highway) for the short term at least. We're there for 2 weeks and then we go back to the UK for a bit - I am hoping only 3/4 weeks then I will be coming back permanently.
Please feel free to look us up if you want to go out for beer or coffee
