im heading to toronto in late sept/early oct. is this a good idea purely based on the jobs front? im not really experienced in any field so just looking for anything to keep me going.
the ideal plan is to tear into work as much as possible, then maybe go travel after a while. travelling with the gf

i was 11 weeks waiting for my visa yesterday and today i got forms to do a medical! dont know why i have to do medical...... i told them i wouldnt be working in healthcare or childcare and i have no health problems!! very strange!
i did work in england last year but dont see how that would require a medical! its not africa or asia!!
anyway i decided that it would take too long and be too much hassle to try and find out why i needed medical or try and change it so im doing the medical in cork next week. no harm to get medical done i suppose!!
im planning on flying to toronto at the end of april so chances are i wont have my LOI by then. im going to go back through the various threads and read about how other people dealt with getting through airport immigration on a holiday visa with a working visa pending!!!
a week or 2 enjoying toronto and finding somewhere to live and hopefully LOI will come through and ill be off to buffalo!! 0 -

also i have my flights booked for 4th May so thats why i need this visa to get a move on.:D lol
Mine is over 5 weeks in London from last Tuesday.. 6 weeks to the day today since getting my confirmation of receipt... They told me it'd take 6weeks to process then and was dying for this day to come, but I've got nothing in my inbox.. it did say in the app that it could take up to 8 weeks though.. fingers crossed for Monday.
Has anyone who's app was sent to UK on 1st of March hear anything yet??

He's flying out from Dublin! Yeah it's definitely worrying.. I'm trying to tell him he should just head over on a tourist visa and then we'll drive to the border if we have to.. so hopefully if we don't get it in time we'll do that. We've been waiting like 10 months for this, I can't stand it anymore! haha.
His processing time was meant to be 6 weeks as well, which was up on Monday.. but he took like 8 days to pay and so then 10 days for it to be sent to London so I figured it would go overtime...but still. So bloody hard to plan anything!0 -

Hmmm... I'm imagining that my app is just sitting in a pile on someones desk waiting to be checked off and that they happen to be the slow one in the visa office.. your bf's app is probably sitting in the same pile
fingers crossed for Monday! But I'd say keep your flights and get him to go over on a tourist visa. It's easy as to go down to the border when he gets the email. Just make sure you've got your insurance sorted before leaving. I'm going to be dropping down to the border from Vancouver and another girl on here has done that already and said all went totally fine. Best of luck!
GGirl2010 - major congrats on the med forms coming through! You've had a long ass wait for those. Best of luck with the rest.0 -

Hahaha.. that's funny... I was actually thinking the same thing about it sitting in a pile. Probably the person who spends the most time on Facebook has the stack with yours & his application! Good to hear the feedback on the tourist visa idea... I'm not sure how keen he was on it (I think mainly he just didn't want to think about not getting visa in time.)
You are thinking of doing the same thing?? He's got his insurance sorted as well so that's sweet. Best of luck to you as well! Can't wait for the happy day! 0 -

I've been here coming on a year in June already.. So I won't be flying in from anywhere to get my new work visa which is why I'll be driving down to the border. I've got job and good life here now, so very anxious to keep it that way for another year at least so I can sort permanent residency. I hope for your bf's sanity that the LOI comes before you leave, but there should be no problems that I can see (not legal advice here btw ) with coming over and if they ask at the border why you've got a work visa and he doesn't, just say that he has it in process and that he obviously will NOT be looking for a job until he gets it through.. should be grand. Especially if you've proof of funds that show you will be ok for a month or two at least. Though I've never been asked to show proof of funds! Roll on the happy day is right. j 0 -

Ahh that's awesome! I actually did two working holidays in Australia, and I remember how stressful it was waiting for that second one to come through so that I could continue with my life there! I'm Canadian myself (from Alberta), so I'm actually just waiting on him to get over here.. (which is why I don't want to wait any longer than I have to) But yeah I'll definitely let him know your advice! (and I'll keep in mind that it's not legal, hehe.) 0 -

Oh that's great. You must be dying for him to come over so! I've got a Manitoban man myself here, which is the main reason I HAVE to get the second year! 0 -
