I saw a few ppl on the "Canada 2010-2011 Baby!" forum saying they have started issuing the letters of intro the past few days. I applied at the start of February but not expecting to hear much from London till the 8 weeks is up. wouldn’t worry bout it.

louisejscott · 01-03-2011 3:55pm

Nope seems to be quite slow at this stage. But I assuming when you get as far as London and your not a criminal you shuld be fine. They did say 8 weeks at the start.

maire61 · 01-03-2011 4:02pm

another day of pressing refresh marie........hahha........ill actually probably fainting when i actually see the e-mail at this stage:D:D

Has anyone here been to University in the UK or anywhere else??? Reason Im asking is about the police certitifcates, not sure If im gna need one for the 3 years I spent over there. It says on their site that 'Generally you dont but they reserve the right to ask' but I reckon Id just get refused rather than them chasing me for it like. Dont really wanna go after it unless its absolutely necessary could take weeks to get it. It took 7 weeks for my Irish one!! But if I got refused simply for not having that Id be pissed off. Anybody know anything about this at all??? Thanks in advance!

I was over in the UK for university last year and didnt get a UK police cert. My application has been in London for 4 weeks and haven't been asked for it yet. I think they only look for it if you dont have a clean record in Ireland

louisejscott · 01-03-2011 5:45pm

I lived in Germany for a while and I didn't submit a german police cert but I'm through to the London stage now so fingers crossed.

maire61 · 01-03-2011 5:50pm

Ok, someone just got a visa on the bunac facebook page. Hopefully another batch will be coming. :P

den1982 · 01-03-2011 5:57pm

Cool thanks for the info just gna send it off in that case only takes 2 weeks from UK actually but costs a bit! Seems to be a bit of a nightmare process from some of the comments here!!

Yup, much dearer. Don't forget you're adding a tip on top of every drink as well.

Haven't been drinking much spirits as I've just been sharing pitchers of beer with mates, but I'd assume they're also expensive (just like everything else).

I'm in Vancouver though, so beer might be cheaper in other places.
