Re: Trackitt - timeline tracking....

Hi bazzz,
Most other people are on Skilled Worker visas which have less restrictions but take a hell of a lot longer!
You appear to have got a work permit first which does massively speed up the...

Re: Pre-existing Medical Conditions

At an emigration show a few years ago (2004 or 2005 I think) in a Q&A session with CHC reps, they were asked about medical conditions that would preclude an applicant and the woman from CHC stated...

Re: Federal or Quebec immigration?

Are you sure about the having to know French?

I say that because I thought that either official language was admissible even in Quebec.

I, in theory could have emigrated to BC if I was just...

Re: visiting but not activating visa

If you let your visa lapse, you have to apply all over again to get another one and there are no guarantees. Also all members of the family on the application have to activate their visa's with the...

Re: Credit rating

I recently took out a lease on a new car 2 weeks after "landing". It wasn't too difficult but I did have to put a sizeable deposit down. I've been told separately by my bank manager in Canada and a...

Hey, I got a 4WD Honda CRV too and it made a lot better job of the conditions than some of those monster pick up trucks, I saw one in a ditch as I drove serenely by without even a whiff of a wheel...

Re: Bowen Island

My kids love BICS. And the UK schooling starts a year earlier than Canada, so our kids had effectively a years cushion, if you like.

As for hospitals I'm pretty sure North Shore does. I think...

Re: Another landing tale - Vancouver

Plumped for lease on a brand new Honda CRV 4WD - the '08 model so I'm informed by the several positive comments I've had about it.

Re: Bowen Island

Hi James,
I've been living here 6 weeks now and it's fab if you are prepared a little.

Hey, Simon & Laura,
Glad to see you settled in well.
You beat us by 5 days! Not that I'm competitive or anything.

Re: points going up from 67 soon-really??

Exactly! So we know trying to find work from the UK alone doesn't work :p

Re: points going up from 67 soon-really??

I got caught by this exact situation in 2002 and they did apply retrospectively back 6 months. Apparently I missed out on the cut off date by about 12 days :curse:.

Maybe the fallout from that is...

Wow! Only 2 officers to cover the UK and large parts of the middle east!

Re: Skilled Worker Class Timeline from UK

Hi,
It took just shy of 8 weeks between meds and PPR for us, meds were done 15th June 2007. Our meds were done in Switzerland and we moved back to UK a week later, so it may have taken longer than...

Re: Company Transfer - advice please

As far as I'm aware, you just need to amend the existing one ... probably best to email CIC first for the correct procedure if you can't find it here or on CIC website.
