Alone in Toronto

Hi - is there anyone in my position? I'm in Toronto working but my family is back in the UK because we couldn't sell our house (or even rent it!).

Re: How long did the process take

Hi Vanessa Darren

Our timeline is below in the signature. We would be in Canada now if we could sell our house.

Re: PR Timeline - experiences please

Hi,

We are also applying via the Skilled Worker route as well and our timeline is in the signature. We would be in Canada if we could sell the house.

Mike

I believe that she can - I've just gone through the process and all they ask you for is the family name and file number. Then they give you a receipt (which looks like a raffle ticket) and...

Re: Online Status of Application

My eCAS status has just changed from 'in process' to 'decision made'. It's been stuck at 'in process' since Feb 2005.

Re: Is there any time limit between the PPR and Visa stamping?

I recently received our PPR and the time period to present passports was reduced from 60 to 30 days - which wasn't too much of a problem as I live in the South East and work in West London. But with...

Hi PB

I won't sit around - I find that regular exercise makes my BP drops by 15-20 points. So get running before the next trip to the doctors.

Good luck
