What’s that spell!? Nothing really, but it stands for pre-approval from CCAA, baby!!! We got word on Friday, shortly before we headed out of town for the weekend and I just didn’t have time to sit down and get the good news out. When we got home this evening, there was a copy of our PA sitting in our mailbox, thank you, Ms. Karla ๐ We’re SO SO happy and relieved to KNOW that CCAA has given us the ‘okay’ to move forward… now we’re just a waitin’ on that LOA now! We waited 97 days for PA, let’s hope the wait for LOA is a lot shorter!
Denise says
Oh yippee!!! I know that is a relief to you…one step closer~
Keri says
It is about time!!!!! I’ll admit that I was starting to get a little concerned. LOA should come in record time to make up for the slow PA.
