A lot of web forms and Viber calls have been made in between those dates. I understand when everyone will say "Just patiently wait, and God will do the rest".. BUT I know I needed to do something while waiting. I read a lot, almost every day from the experience of others, counter-check it on Canadian websites, and take the necessary action to the best of my extent.
Good luck on this very long journey everyone! I am happy to help and answer some questions to the best of my knowledge.
