Re: TWP anyone had any good news?
COOL we are heading to Okotoks, we have a basement suite set up for a few weeks and house hunting Monday too. We have a short list based on MLS and our realtors list. We are hoping to find somewhere fairly quick.
My daughter starts grade 1 on 2 September so it would be helpful to have a house at least chosen by then. We have to go to the credit union to activate our account on Monday and we need to get a car sorted so Lynne can get used to driving ASAP before she has to start the commute.
Its a bit mental here just now and I expect next week to be pretty much the same. When we went on recce I was up at 4 every morning with the jet lag so I suspect I will be pacing about on Monday morning at some ridiculous hour complaining that the car dealerships aren't open
Where are you looking?

Looks like we are all moving from the TWP queue to the Calgary house hunting race!

Re: TWP anyone had any good news?
Nope...........
Only a email reply.......
'We acknowledge receipt of your $150 bankers draft, this is currently being cashed. The file will then be sent for final review with a visa officer. Should we require any further information, we will contact you.'
So i take it that it goes to an office who get all the information etc......
Before even been looked at by a visa officer........

When my file went for "final review" I got my visa the following week. Hopefully that means yours will be there next week.

Re: TWP anyone had any good news?
It says that "your application for a work permit & your dependents work & study permits have been processed & finalised on 14th July 2008.
The decision was sent to you together with your supporting documents at the mailing address provided....."
I think this is good news but I don't like the phrase "the decision was sent to you" though. Is this normal wording??
As a nurse, who had nothing untoward thrown up on the medical (well they havent' asked for anymore tests anyhow) , who has a job & temporary license to practice I can't think they would refuse my application. I wish they'd said if it was approved though!!!
I was happy but now I'm stressed again & how come the post is taking soooo long?? They said give it a few days for the mail to arrive. Anyone had similar????
Should I hold off on opening the bubbly or am I going to be fine???
