landed at last

[toby]

My wife landed at the Vancouver airport on July 15. The actual process of checking in with Immigration was smooth, and efficient. It took about an hour, but most of that time was waiting. The actual procedure with the immigration officer took maybe 10 minutes. As my wife and I sorted our things on a chair after the interview, I said to her "Welcome to Canada!". The Immigration Officer overheard me and replied with a smile: "Hey, that's my line."

All in all a painless and friendly experience.

But it's cold enough in B.C. this summer (temperature during the day reaches maybe 22 degrees, a far cry from HOT China) that I begin to wonder why we bothered!!

Only kidding.

Enjoy the weather!! I'm south of you in Oregon and this is BIZARRE weather the west coast is having, but it does beat the nasty scorching heat elsewhere

Congrats young man, good to see an end for you two. I appreciate all the input and support you've provided in the forum and privately in PM nice to see that as painful a wait it might be sometimes the right result more often than not is achieved.

Enjoy whats left of your summer.
