Re: Exchange Rate

Thanks for your thoughts. I know, it's notoriously difficult to predict. A good exchange rate could be the difference between a 3-bed or a 4-bed house for us, so choosing the right time to exchange...

Re: Exchange Rate

I know no one has a crystal ball, but as I'm moving back to Canada in the next 4 months, are we expecting a stronger pound now or by June? It hit 1.76 last week and I'm wondering if the longer term...

Re: Going back to Canada

I suppose it when I think of warm, I think of those over 25 degree, humid days when you only need shorts and a t-shirt. You definitely get a fair number of those days here, but not as many as I'd...

Re: Going back to Canada

I'm from Cheshire originally, so I definitely did not grow up with hot weather. Summers here in Victoria are wonderful, sunny and dry. But they're not hot. You typically get just a couple of weeks...

Re: Going back to Canada

There are lots of deserted beaches here in BC, but for me they suffer the same problem as English beaches in that they are too cold! Even on a hot day (just a few weeks a year), the water is way too...

Re: Going back to Canada

This is very true. There is so much more space here in Canada, but a lot of it is simply inaccessible. It's much harder to just go for "a walk in the countryside" here and if you do get out into the...

Re: Going back to Canada

Well it sounds like you've reached a time in your life when Victoria will suit you perfectly. There's also still quite a lot of British influence here if you ever crave it. Lots of ex-pats here.

Hi Bevm,

I'm a Brit currently living in Fairfield, Victoria, and my Canadian wife has just received her UK spouse visa. So we're doing the opposite move to you. Interesting to hear your...

Re: Is there a mistake in form VAF 4A?

Yes, I noticed those questions too (and question 3.73) and was unsure if they needed answering in my situation. They are all essentially the same question

The way I originally saw it, they apply...

I believe there could be an official printed mistake on the form because of the reasons I outlined above. I wondered if anyone else had either come across this or could otherwise verify it.

As for...

Re: Is there a mistake in form VAF 4A?

Exactly, that's what I thought, but then of course I would have expected the instruction on the form to say "If 'no' go to Part 3D" for that question of whether their income from self-employment...

Re: Is there a mistake in form VAF 4A?

Ok thanks.

So you think the section should be filled in even if the financial requirements are met by other means?

As it happens I do have a tiny bit of income from rental, which mainly goes...

Re: Is there a mistake in form VAF 4A?

Hi not2old, thanks for the reply.

I have filled in Part 3C. But question 3.58 ii on page 9, which is in Part 3C, says to go to Part 3D if you answer 'yes'.

Part 3D is for Category C, which is...

Re: Confused about visas, want to live in UK again with my Canadian wife

Hi SanDiegoGirl and BritInParis,

Her grandparents on her mother's side were Dutch and her grandparents on her father's side were Russian. Would the Dutch connection be of any use?
