We can't believe it and were certainly not expecting this so soon. When we applied they said "don't expect to hear anything for 45 months".
My brother who applied 2 weeks before us at end of Sept 06 got his update letter 2 weeks ago.
This is really happening now ......... we are on our way to Canada next year

Nov 06 Applicant and we got our AOR today!!
We are SO UNREADY for this... we planned on another year or two. Partner is doing a MSC which doesn't finish until Jun 2010.
Realistically, if we sent our update back in Jan 09, how much longer before we would get our visas?
Now reality is here, not sure what to do.

Am I right in thinking the process from here on will take 6-9 months?
It'd be great if we could move next summer.
