Ooh, if she was good looking might not be too bad Sorry
Great News though Cathy and Tony May all the past problems now fade in the glow of many warm evenings watching the sunset.
Sue, may you have a safe journey to your daughter and say hello to our daughter on the corner in ballymote gardens.

Its not just interesting, its like the Scottish system, no messing about for months like our system!

Cheers

Had we have been the nervous sort I guess we would have been a bit sweaty at this point but we guessed what it was about. We were then collected by someone from DIAC who said they had been waiting for us to come through, they had heard all about us. We were compared to our passport photos and I handed over the letter we had been sent by the lady at the Perth office which was invaluable. That was it, we were in. We even got through customs in double quick time too.

It's so lovely to be here and to see all the grandchildren has been wonderful. Even our daughter's dog had a light bulb moment when after a lot barking and posing he realised that he had seen us before and we then received a thorough licking.

Cathy & Tony
Hi Cathy & Tony,
Congratulations on getting to OZ, you can now relax and enjoy your family and your new life in OZ,

hi Les and BAbs
congratulations!
we are back in Canada - waiting........
our case officer went away in the middle of our troubles and has yet to get in touch with us - our time limit of 49 days has runout but we have done all we can from our end and are awaiting word from the case officer -
I hated to leave my 3 month old granddaughter and her mummy and daddy!)but we talk every day on the phone (way cheaper from oz to canada than vice versa) and we get to hear her giggling and playing which is worth so much

I am sure that you will have a wonderful life out there - all the best to you
