Well, we have completed all forms and applications and all relevant paperwork for permanent residence through federal skilled worker. We at aiming to move to Calgary.

All posted today via international signed for from uk.

Now it's just a waiting game to hear back from then.

So nervous, all out of our hands now though. Our future is in there hands ;0) states on the CIC website upto 23months but also read can take 6-9 months, but shall keep this post running and update with any info so people can get rough estimate of timeline etc

Anyone else in the same boat? Would be nice to go through it with someone who is so doing it.

Hi
We will be putting our application in the next 2/4 weeks. Did you have a job offer when you applied for PR? Will be interested in the timelines!

Hi there

Would be good if you could put timelines too on this thread when you send off etc, so it gives people an idea of length of process

We don't have a job offer, do you? Nearer the time we will be applying for employment but until we get an time estimate unsure when to start.

Hi
Well I already applied and had the acknowledgment letter dated July 2010, still waiting.

I think it's better to find a job offer, other wise it could be a long wait in many cases. GOOD LUCK, hope you get there before us.

Asabani - thank you for your reply. Just out of interest how long from sending to getting your acknowledge email/letter?

Also, we are in contact with a firm in calgary which my partner used to work with in London so have sent his cv (resume) to them and we look on there site regular for positions relating to my partners employment. Main thing is my partner has to sit red seals exams which you can't do until you are there.

That's fantastic nikki, gives me a little hope it won't take years! We are aiming or Calgary too.

When are you going out there permanently?

im sure you will get there!!

we are going out mid May!!

we thought it would take ages, and we had to re submitt some paperwork when my daughter was born last january, so hopefully yours might take a little longer? did you submitt the application yourself or did you hire lawyers?
