      You could ask them for an extension. The Visa Officers has proper instructions to don't give more time then the 60 days. Do you got the results? I think they need min 7.0 I am going to get the results in 2 weeks and yes I need at least 7.0 points for each task (reading, writing, listening and speaking) The point system in Canada Immigration changed a lot since last year and it's tougher now to immigrate to Canada. (especially since 9/11 the US pressured Canada to change some laws) At the moment it is nearly impossible to immigrate to Canada. A job offer or relatives helps a lot because you get extra points for them.

              The CIC website is really good to get instructions. I don't know so many English websites or groups. Here are all I know: http://www.calgaryimmigrant.ca[^] http://www.vancouver.hm[^] http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=misc.immigration.canada[^] Hope it helps!

                They let me in... I'm here on a work visa. Hey Chris, if you are ever in Edmonton... Have your brain checked. Who the **** would want to come to Edmonton. :~ :laugh: Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

                It's not a done deal yet, but I'm trying to set-up a trip for one of my daughters and I to go to Edmonton for a weekend. What's so special about it is that she want's to go and see the Oilers play the Canadiens when they play that special game outdoors in Commonwealth Stadium.

                  Canada and australia are still part of the commonwealth, so immigration is easier.

                    Doh! As you can see, I am a bit tactless... so I would not be the best person to do it. Why don't you consider somewhere else? anywhere where the summer lasts more than 1 month and you do not have to live indoor for the other 11 monthes? OK a bit of a cliche about Canada - which I am actually dying to visit one day. Hey why not try Australia? And you do not need English there... :)

                      I started getting hard questions at immigration so I made the move last September. Moving from Oz to Canada was pretty easy: they like their beer and appreciate needlessly violent sports. I feel at home ;) cheers, Chris Maunder

                        I am really frustrated because it seems to be that my biggest dream died yesterday. I applied for immigration to Canada on Aug 5, 2002 and last Friday I got a letter from the Visa Office in Berlin that I have to send in the results of a Language Test (IELTS) within the next 60 days otherwise my application will be refused. So I took the test yesterday (that was the only test I could take in this time) and I am sure that I failed the Listening and Speaking task, because I was so nervous. The last year was the hell. My whole life was in a waiting-line and maybe it wasn't worth to wait. Now I need a miracle, but this usually doesn't happen to me :(( It's really good to tell this somebody! So long... Stephan

                        Well, you could take the other approach. Half of Canada's immagration quota is economic. Got half a million dollars in cash? Welcome to Canada. Wish the US would wise up.

                          You mean League? Or do you mean Aussie Rules Football (not rugby, but still a good watch). You have to remember that I spent the first 32 of my years in Oz ;) cheers, Chris Maunder
