Application received in London!

I was planning to write a post tomorrow about it being one month since Tim was approved, but I thought I’d quickly check the CIC website...

Permanent Residence Application Status – Application Received

We received [my name]'s application for permanent residence on July 11, 2011.

Woo, things are definitely moving forward!

• 25th May – Paperwork received in Mississauga
• 28th June – Sponsor approved (34 days – CIC estimates 40)
• 11th July – Paperwork received in London (13 days – very slow postman!)

Going by the CIC website, this next step could take 9 months. However, the British Expats timeline thread and the Trackitt spreadsheet both seem to be showing around 3 months from this point.

Obviously, all I want is to actually get approved, rather than pushing for a quick turnaround, but it would be great if our planned holiday later this year could be a landing trip too. Fingers crossed for 11th October :)

Happy Canada Day!
