Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

Hi all,

I'm struggling a bit right now. The stress of this process is starting to feel overwhelming. I've tried leaning on my husband and sharing with him how I feel...but he takes it personally and feels guilty that I'm feeling this stress as a result of being with him in Canada. Those of you who've been through this process, how did you best cope? Who did you talk to when the uncertainty and stress started to feel heavy?

Thanks,

K

My wife had the opposite approach. It was me who fussed over CIC. Once she got her OWP, she's just worked everyday.

We didn't really talk about it. I brought it up a couple times, but never turned bad or dark. I know she missed friends and family, and how terse and nasty it is to live in Moscow. But when she goes home, she's already said she will miss me and the dogs the same. To her, Russia will always be the place she was born and grew up. But Ontario is her home now.

Being a Murikan, your family and friends can visit almost at will. It was much harder for her (Visas, cost of flights etc).

You could preface your chats with letting him know it's not his fault, and that you just feel down. Soon, grasshopper, you'll be free of this... Have no doubt

Neither of us will ever forget August 10 2016. The day of infamy. When we were asked for new PCCs that were not needed

I know how you feel. I felt like that too. I'm in Canada for 4.5 years and it was really hard to adjust. I came from Croatia and I had a good job there. But I wanted to travel and look for opportunities in Canada. Unfortunately, it wasn't so easy like I hoped. I couldn't find a job in my field and I accepted positions that they were way bellow my education and experience. In the meantime, I met my husband and he was the reason why I stayed here and hoped for better opportunities in the future. I was in stress and worry what will happen with my application and if all this was for nothing. I was also worried that they will refuse me for some reason and that me and my husband will have to move in some other country. He was always positive and told me to worry for nothing, but I felt that he cant see my point of view, that I'm risking everything for love. My best friend was in the same situation, but even though I could talk with her, we were always mostly negative then positive.

I felt much better when I let go all worries, because worry or not, that will not change what will happen. I just tried to enjoy my life without worries and stressing about application. I knew that either way, stayed in Canada or not, everything will be fine. And it was! All this worries where for nothing.....
