Hi Everyone -

Like many users of this forum, I have read many posts about people's varied experiences in applying for Residency.

In doing so, reading stories of successful applications boosted morale whilst waiting for news. So I promised myself that the day mine was APPROVED I would post my timeline to help boost others morale:

Branch Henderson
EOI Submitted August 6th 2013
EOI Selected August 7th 2013 (155 Points with job offer)
ITA Received August 14th 2013
ITA Returned August 24, 2013
Application Accepted August 28th, 2013
Case Officer Assigned October 14th, 2013

Total time from EOI to APPROVED 13 Weeks 3 days

Thanks for all your posts and information.

I hope this post brings everyone who reads it a little hope.
