Hey, they must be driving slow. It only took us 6 hours from Woodstock which is right by London. :lol: Seriously, best of luck. We both filed in the same month and you've had a long, long wait. I can't wait to hear your approval report tomorrow! :thumbs:

We are so close now. My wife, 3 kids, my mom, and her husband are piling into the van for their 8 hour drive from London, Ontario to Montreal for their interviews early tomorrow morning. Tammy was so nervous last night, and the kids had a hard day again as they had their last day of school before they move. It's sad to see your kids sad as they say bye to all their friends. It tears me apart having to do this to them. Hopefully we will get a review, but no guarantees.

Good luck and have a safe trip! Looking forward to your review.
