Thanks job_seeker,

 

It was truly a memorable experience. Heart He had to run to make his connection, Immigration was really great & quick.... Thumbs Up  they searched his bags at lightning speed so that he could make his connection but when he landed in Calgary.... OMG! We got 15 cm of snow yesterday afternoon, with 80 km/hour wind, total white out conditions, the whole city is still a mess and the Winter Storm advisory's are still in effect Shocked ..... we got outside and.... BOOM! Exclamation Welcome to Canada... about 10 minutes later while driving we got stuck in a snow drift. LOL Everybody else was in the ditch.  Poor guy had to dig the car out, and then push, Star lol I don't think he's going to forget snow any time soon!

 

It is definitely a story about his first day in Canada that we won't forget!!! Clap

Thanks guys, the story only got better.

We had 15 cm's of snow that night... then more wind and snow.... then the excitement of our son being born less than 21 hours after he landed as a PRV. Clap He's 7 weeks premature, but AJ (Andre Junior) is doing great. Big smile
 
Now that I'm home from the hospital it's -30 out... so we're buying a winter coat, boots, mitts etc for him tomorrow. Then we're going to tackle shoveling the metre high snowdrift that has formed down our sidewalk and initiate him as a real canadian homeowner! Tongue
 
I've explained to him why we plug in our cars and now as a Canadian he totally understand why we don't treat our cars the same way that they do back home in Jamaica. They are literally meant to get us from where we are to where we want to be, preferrably keeping us warm and out of the snow drifts.
 
He has also taken on the snow and cold with a great attitude (has already figured out how to dress in layers) and he understands that we don't like it either ... LOL lol and he's compared it to back home....it's just like Air Conditioning, it's just outside, instead of inside!

Hello All. I have recently got married. I would lbe very happy to get some answers to some questions:
 
(1)  Who should the employment letter be addressed to?
(2)  Should we wait until next year to apply for the Option C.
(3) Who should the letters that our friends and family address the letter to and what should it entail.
(4) Do you have to wait to get the Marriage Certicate before sending off the application?
(5) Do I have to wait until I get the froms that my daughter filled out, police record and medical before I can send off the application?
(6) Do you have to go on a honeymoon before sending off the application?
(7) What if your husband is older, will there be a red flag?
(8) How can you open a joint account?
(9) How can you get a printout from your phone company detailing your incoming and outgoing calls?
 
I am applying outbound although we are in Canada.
 
Your advice appreciated.
