Thats fantastic news nsxer! I found that the posting back with the visa in it was so quick as well, we were only a week or so more then 2 weeks getting his passport back!! Congratulations!

Hey - my husband had to have an eco cardiogram for a heart flutter they kept hearing - the good thing is....at least they are being very thorough if the doctor sent in all those test results and some of them were inclear it may make your wait time much longer....*chin up* things will get better! I hope your husband is healthy. x

Hi guys, Our application was received on Sept 12 in Miss, whilst we are not expecting a reply for a few more weeks, I was wondering at what point you can check your status online? Would I be able to do that yet?

Also, who's information do I use to check, the sponsors or the principal applicants?
Thanks

usually only online after they process it, so around the time they send you your letter/email.

I always accessed it using sponsors name and receipt number.

When they checked out my daughter they "heard" a heart murmur. We had to get her seen by a specialist which we accessed through or GP and she was given the all clear.

Has he been for any further tests yet?

Congrats Ivesy and Aperture, great news

Ivesy you need to change sponsor approved to 20th Sept as your signature I'm sure this is because you are soooo excited

I am so happy for you all. I can't wait till we send off our application and be done with all this paperwork.


I also just read replies to my previous post regarding my husbands ECG. He went to his own doctor who did an ECG for free and his tests came back normal. My husband scanned the results and sent them to the docotr in Manchester. We are waiting for what they say once they see it.

Hi janham.... i am and was very excited about our approval and i tried to change the approval date as i realized the mistake quite quickly, but i am hopeless on computers and i couldn't correct the mistake, if only our sponsorship had been a approved that quickly i would be over in canada by now ha ha

Can anyone give me any idea how long it normally takes for your application to be showing as in process once it has reached London?

application sent to Mississauga 5th july
application received 14th july
application approved 20th september

Sorry I feel better now commenting on someone elses mistake as I made a dizzy mistake (saying that it was on a weekend when the vino was flowing)
Where are you heading for in Canada?

Ivesy

easy mistake to make when there is vino flowing
my husband is renting in calgary at the moment but we are thinking of moving to airdrie it is lovely there.
where are you heading?

janham

We are heading for Nova Scotia initially but will go where the work is, possibly Calgary as my OH is in the gas industry. Just putting feelers out for work. We did a reece in 2004 and stayed in Calgary for a month so got to know it quite well but will try NS to start with.

Just to say - you don't have to wait till you get the all clear from the DMP. We went for our medicals on 29th September - my daughter needed forther tests and I had to get copies of letters from my GP. We sent application off before this had been done - and used copied of our recipts as proof. Our medicals were received in London on the 15th November, by which time we had already completed the 1st stage of the application.

I am going over to England this month, so I will bring all my husbands paperwork back when I get home Nov. 1st. Next best thing is for him to mail it to me now, and i send it off before I leave for England October 16th.

Ivesy

Ive been told nova scotia is very nice too, we like calgary it has so much to do and my two older boys love it there and the views of the mountains are beautiful so we don't want to be to far away from there. Good luck for your future move it is frustrating waiting for the first stage approval but before you know it you will get that wonderful news... then the vino will be flowing
