Hi nwtrucker, I wonder if you can answer a question for me?

Did you have to re-take your class 1 in Canada or can you transfer your U.K 1?

I've asked a few people, but nobody seems to know.

Many thanks, John.

PMM

Hi


Retake plus air brakes.

John Lord

Thanks PMM.

Can you give me more info on what the airbrakes entail?

Cheers, John

nwtrucker

Hi mate, PMM beat me to it. Unfortunately yes, retake. Just google airbrake and it should show something. I'm going to Sask and all the info is on the Saskatchewan Government Insurance website (SGI). Hope that helps.

Hi nwtrucker,

Cheers mate, I will look it up.

How long have you been waiting to get over there and have you heard anything yet?

We are on tender hooks waiting for our nomination, it will be 6 months at the beginning of May

Its 10 and a half months now and the wait is driving us stir craaazzzzy!!! We really had hoped to be there by the summer as I don't fancy doing my training as another winter approaches! All SINP will say is that our application is in process! I've applied for a work permit in the meantime in the hope that things will speed up, and that PR can be completed while we are there.
I know the Criteria for Family Class has changed, i.e. you need to have a job offer in the skilled category. However, existing applications are still being processed under the previous criteria. Just wish they'd get on with it!! Grrrr!

JulieLord

We know how you feel there! Our Immigration consultant replied to an email we sent them this week with the following:

SINP has dropped to a record 8 to 10 months for processing

This is for the Skilled worker category.. so guess we have a few months yet!

SINP also advised them that our file is in process.

We were also hoping to be out there before the winter.. it's a bloody nightmare!

nwtrucker

Really?....perhaps thats a positive sign if indeed it's true!! I emailed them a couple of months ago and they said 10-12 months for family stream! It's difficult to take anything they say without a grain of salt!! In the meantime....limbo land!!!

JulieLord

Yes .. limbo land is a nightmare! and to top it off, My boss in Canada is rubbing it in that BBQ season is just about to start! lol ... ah well, I guess we just have to wait and see and hope for the best.. we will probably get notification when we least expect it. Maybe I should stop checking my emails every few hours as it only frustrates us more!

let us know when you hear anything and I'll keep my fingers crossed for us all in the meantime

nwtrucker

lol, ditto!

Hi guys, some information on my application

Applied to SINP beginning of Sept 2011 Skilled worker
Original Code of conduct was requested 8th March 2012 as they did not want a scanned copy
Employer was contact 2 weeks ago to confirm the job offer

So far the process has taken over 8 months

JulieLord

Hi Jaycea,

What's the Code of Conduct... ?? I can't remember doing that? Then again I might have?? oh bugger!

If your employer has had a call then maybe you are very near to nominations
