We are moving to north vancouver and we have been there a few times before so we have a idea of the different areas.

We wanted to find somewhere and set it up before we go especially with having two young children it makes it alot easier for when we arrive.

Thanks

I'm sitting the CRNE too.......further stress on top of the whole immigration issue!

So our timeline was....

03/07/08 twp application sent
29/07/08 medical forms received
04/08/08 medical done
13/08/08 medical received by CIC
28/08/08 confirmation e-mail to say TWP sent
02/09/08 TWP pre-approval arrived!!!

Have to say that when the letter came yesterday we were a bit worried; was expecting an official package...didn't realise that they send your paperwork to the POE's in Canada...so when we saw this small brown envelope were wondering what on earth it was!!

All good though once we got over our fright!

So all the best to everyone who's still waiting; it's coming to the end of Summer now which will hopefully make a difference to the workload the CIC has.

Toronto here we come

Still, I am over the moon
