natalieh 1 Posted January 19, 2008 Thanks Einstein,I'm going to ask my PNP officer to reissue my certificate so I can apply via Buffalo. Even if it's a bit slower I'll take my chances. I've struggled long and hard to get to North America I don't want anything to go wrong right now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

einselec 1 Posted January 28, 2008 Hi NataliehAt long last my PNP envelope with my sponsorship arrived here in SA today!!! Now we can start the Pretoria leg of the application to CIC.

einselec 1 Posted January 31, 2008 Hi NataliehMy PR aansoek is vandag gestuur na CIC in Pretoria. My Polisie sertifikaate kort nog maar ons wou nie tyd mors nie. Dit behoort volgende week hier te wees en ek sal dit dan stuur sodra ek 'n AOR en file no. het.Sal jou op hoogte hou indien daar iets gebeur. Ons hoop maar vir die beste en sal glad nie kwaad wees vir CIC indien ons PR ook so vinnig soos Moonstones s'n is nie!! (Wishfull thinking!!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
natalieh 1 Posted January 31, 2008 Yeah I agree with you. We wont be too cross with CIC in that instance;-)Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
einselec 1 Posted February 15, 2008 Hi NataliehI received my Police clearance Certificates on 12 February and mailed it to my Immigration Consultant in Durban on 13th February. She sent me an e-mail this afternoon (15 February) with the CHC letter for the AOR and file number!!!!!!! She also couriered my Police Clearances of to them this afternoon after she received the AOR and file number.She wants to know if we would like to apply for a TWP but I am not sure what I should do. We wanted to sell the house before we leave but I do not think that this can be done if we only go on a TWP so we might be waiting this one out on this side!!How far are you with your paperwork and the filing with CHC?? Are you going through Buffalo or do you have to work through Pretoria??Look forward to your reply.RegardsEinstein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
natalieh 1 Posted February 18, 2008 (edited) Hey Einstein,Congratulations! Your process seems to be well underway You don't have to worry about selling your house and getting a TWP because you already have a PR application in you will be considered under "DUAL INTENT" so there is nothing holding you back from selling your house and coming to Canada on a TWP.Unfortunately I have to work through Pretoria and want to get all my ducks in a row before I apply. Busy sorting out Police Clearances for SA and UK and once I have that I will apply.If you need any assistance here with regards to accomodation etc. let me know. I would be happy to help!RegardsNatalie Edited February 18, 2008 by natalieh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
natalieh 1 Posted May 14, 2008 PR application was received by CHC Pretoria today. And now we wait......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
einselec 1 Posted May 14, 2008 Hi NataliehCongrats!! We did our medicals on 8 May and should hear from CHC within 4 to 6 weeks if we have received PR or not. The SA doctor said that everything is O.K. but I know that it is not her decision to make. Will let you know as soon as we hear anything.If we are approved we would like to leave SA at the beginning of August. We will be using air freight to send all our stuff to Tucson in the USA. My mother-in-law stays there. We will be flying to Tucson to visit for a week, pick up the truck and bike that I have there, load all our stuff and drive up to Canada from Arizona. A nice road trip of 2800km!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
