Re: Transfer of Residence (ToR) form (again)

The job part wasn't really an issue - my husband had a good job and was getting on well. Actually I think the stint in Canada has probably helped him because when we decided to return to the UK, we...

Re: TOR advice

We sent our inventory, along with the form and a note stating that we didn't yet have an address but giving the name and address of my husbands new employer.
It was emailed before we went to bed on...

I just tried and downloaded it to my phone.

Re: PNP nomination expired

Thanks Muners, we're in SK too so that's good to know if we DO have to apply for PR to keep our TWP. Ideally though, we would prefer to just work until the end of our visa before returning to the UK.

Edit: If we did have to apply for PR in order to see out the rest of the TWP, I would definitely want to wait until...

Re: UK University fees/funding

That would be ideal HKG3 but the course that she wants to do is for 4 years so it's unlikely she could fulfill the PR requirements :(

Re: UK University fees/funding

Thank you, that's really useful to know.

Out of interest, as our daughter is now 18, would it make any difference if we applied for PR but didn't include her on the application?
