Kath, sorry to hear your Mum is sick. I hope she recovers well and quickly from the surgery. My stepfather gets skin cancers alot but not as big as that. He usually gets them iced off. I am sure your Mum will be fine. (F)(L)

Hi Moonie, hang in there. I think you have gone through the worst of it now. It's tough doing the medical, police check and all the forms and then having to wait to see if it's ok. I remember it stressed me to the max. Just think, only the interview to go now. It gets easier once packet 3 is in. Sending you good vibes for a speedy approval! :star:

Well I think my car is sold...finally. A girl frm work looked at it last night and fell in love with it. She loves Hondas too so I am happy. Her boyfriend and a mechanic are coming to look at it tonight and if they are happy it will go to it's new home this week. It's weird I am happy and sad all at once....all part of this new life we are all working towards I guess.

Also I went to a specialist today and found out I have to have day surgery tomorrow...grrrr. It's so fast the Dr discovered a lump on my tongue that has to be removed....OUCH!!! The doctor thinks it is harmless but wants to remove it jsut in case. I just keep thinking OUCH! I am sure all will be ok and luckily they are putting me under so I won't know about it until it wears off...OUCH! Best part is I get a week off work, worst part is nothing but mashed food for 5 days! Lucky i don't have to talk on here or you will all be laughing at me when I come home talking funny! :P So I am warning you in advance that I will be under the influence of an anesthetic tomorrow so please forgive me if I post anything silly! :lol:

  1. One photograph
  2. Valid passport
  3. Visa Screen Cert - for healthcare workers - prolly N/A for you
  4. Original Birth Cert and one photocopy (I had mine certified, went to the local police station and asked -- thanks for the tip on that 1 Lyndel!)
  5. For minor childre - court order verification sole custody to immigrating parent...Im guessing N/A for you too?
  6. Original Adoption decree or evidence of name change when applicaple, original and one photocopy
  7. Original Divorce Cert and one photocopy
  8. Original Marriage Cert and one photocopy
