The brown envelope finally arrived this morning - a pretty quick turnaround since our medicals and updated information were sent.

By fluke I am on a flexi day from work so I'm going to brave the snow and head up to the High Commission to submit our passports!!!!!!!

Can't quite believe it yet - think it won't sink in until those shiny visas are in our passports!

Hi Congratulations
bet your on cloud nine when are you hoping to go over be careful with the snow just been out in it in the car and wished id taken the bus instead

Yeah, driving today in our village was a bit of early practice for Canada... I nearly slid off the road at one point where they hadn't been gritted.

I used to laugh when they said we had different snow, one winter in Montreal and now I believe.

Our snow is wet and much more slippery, out there it was colder and dry, totally different to ours.

We couldn't even make a decent snowball as the snow was just powder.

Congratulations.
So many passport requests from CIC at the moment - I cant keep up!
Hoping ours is on its way soon.....
Good luck with your new life in Canada.

Hi
Thats exactly what I was thinking although I know its not going to be like it is in Canada anything that helps me to start to aclimatise to Canadian weather works in my book When are you of

The TWs

Good luck in the snow!

Congrats you guys. The whole stream we seem to be in seems to be moving very quickly, finally.

Am now mentally stalking the postman (ours has to go to our lawyers in Canada...)

Looks like a few of us will be giving postmen a complex.....I watch out for our's too....hope he doesn't get freaked by the attention..

September, probably... so I'll need the snow practice .

Flossie and Jim

By the time I got to Oxford Street it was raining and there wasn't much snow.

How "Canadian" is this though - the security guy came out about 10 mins before 2pm and handed out brollies to people in the queue so that they didn't get wet waiting!!!

Now I have two weeks of paranoia re: are the photos up to spec, will it get lost, etc!!!!!!

Thanks for all your mutual support

Good luck . I need to find a place where I can get more photos before I take time off to hand the passport in... if I'd known I needed more I'd have got them when I did the medical photos!

KennyJosie

Am I understanding this correctly?
1. We send photo's with original application, then
2. We send new ones with Updates (90 day letter), then
3. We take more to the medical, then
4. We send even more with the PPR
Do we change soooo much in the time it takes to get a Visa?
OK, scrap that! Stupid me!

Hey, you oughta see my daughter - nine year old Prep School girl in full uniform when we submitted the application. Now all grown up almost 12 year old with hair and attitude to match.....I keep fretting they'll claim she's a different child!
