Beerfest was a poster that was banned a while ago, he signed up probably about a hundred different times trying to troll the messageboard. He'd sign up with usernames just PM'ing people with insane stuff.
This is probably him. He's off his rocker.

It's a trade off , I can play golf year round here. I do like the cooler summer idea though. This summer has been pretty mild til the last few days.

When in doubt, it's Beerfest. I am just amazed the mods have let it get this far.

Well Im too excited not to post here...
I am actually in Oklahoma visiting my parents for the week but I logged on to view the status on my Permanent Residency status tonight ( no it's still not done). I have to check this a couple times a week but nothing ever changes... UNTIL TONIGHT. STOKED!
We received your application for permanent residence on June 28, 2013.
We started processing your application on March 12, 2014.
Medical results have been received.
A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision."
I have been told to temper my excitement as sometimes it takes a few weeks to a couple months before movement past this but I have heard of people getting their stuff in a week after they got this. I am stoked at the new information anyway.... AHHH YEAHH!

Well they did quote me 2 mos- 2 years on finishing the process so they nailed the timeline.
Hey I don't mind the cell phone cost and taxes... at least I'm not paying 500 bucks a month for health care/prescriptions and then using said healthcare only to get thousand of dollars in bills from hospitals.

Congratulations.
From what I have been able to gather (primarily from the CanVisa forum), your processing went pretty quickly, at least compared to others.
I wish you luck.
[Sidebar: I seriously considered applying for permanent residency, and had the application ready to go and send off, until I realized that (i) the IRS-CRA tax burden and interplay (or lack thereof) would become pretty onerous; and (2) Canada puts up some significant roadblocks for professionals (from the US and elsewhere) to have their qualifications recognized here, which would effectively mean (in my case) that I could not be employed here in my current career* without undergoing a lot of testing and possible classwork, among other things. I'm just too old for that stuff right now, and it honestly seems to me that the younger and poorer you are, the easier it is to immigrate to Canada. Once you have a lot of attachments to your home country (i.e., the US, with say, IRAs, taxable investment accounts, and the like), it becomes a lot harder to migrate all of that over to Canada, even if you want to, simply because of how the government bureaucracy and tax rules work. I hope that is not the case for you and that your move here works well for you....]
* Think of someone who deals with a lot of paper, advises you of your legal obligations under and in respect of said paper, and drafts a lot of paper.
