Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

[sylvain1]

It's hard I know. To him (and my wife, and probably even @sylvain1 's wife too), they just have faith that the Sponsor will fix whatever to get a positive result. To them, they rely heavily on us.

So, the relief is absolutely tremendous. It was for me too. My wife didn't believe me, until they showed her the COPR (they she broke out laughing at the questions).

Having a beer for you... *raises bottle* congrats! Very, very happy and relieved

Yes I was the one stressing about the process, I was the most excited by each positive steps SA, AIP, DM letter, appointment letter! When we got DM, some of my colleagues were trying to ask me questions about our project, but they realized soon enough that my attention wasn't to them! I said sorry, we just got DM!!! I was so excited!

RIGHT?!?! Me too!

My work colleagues were talking to me, and looking at my screen with ECAS open, seeing me take screen shots to send to my wife and friends..... I had to explain I wasn't even listening, and I showed them why.... the two who were talking were PR's once upon a time (or still are, for now). So they were elated.

They could both relate to how you and Mrs. P felt.

My boss too... he is Indian born, English (Manchester) raised. I told him about the landing appointment, and that we planned to sort SIN and OHIP at the same time. He wasn't going to be in, but told me just to email the team "Personal stuff to take care of" and not worry about time accounting.

At least you got the good news on a Saturday (probably happened yesterday, because ECAS is updated daily).

Shiraz huh... not big on wines anymore, but sounds....french....

It's pretty hard to focus when you have those types of life moments.

The other was when I got a text message while I was in a systems-design meeting to tell me I was going to be a dad...

I can totally relate. I was stressing and hubby was calm. The only time he got excited was when we got AIP.

You have a good boss.

Profiler, remember yesterday at work when you asked me to check? You must have had a feeling. I did check but I guess it had not been updated yet.

Then I checked again last night before I sent you the GCMS notes photo but did not see it.

Shiraz is actually very typical of Australian wines and if I'm not wrong the yellow tail is Australian. Personally not my favorite type of wine, but I can drink it!

My boss is also coming from immigration (Ukraine), so he could understand what we were going through and he was also very happy for us.

Yeah he is pretty easy going. We joke about an awful lot.

Maybe you're right. I know that enough time passed, and I was going to get slightly more aggressive with my suggestions to move it along. It was killing me

You're killing me, tonight! *le sigh*

It's good when they have the idea already. It makes it easier to tell them that you're taking the day off. In my case, I didn't really need to ask. I just told him we have the landing appointment.

It wasn't even words. It was a picture of the clearblue digital test result. And the backup standard test beside it. I still have it. It was too late to take it back then! lol!

But in our case, as my wife is doing her PhD in the lab where I work, it meant we both take the day off!

Hey congrats on #7000!
Not really, but they were all very happy for us. They were all sending text messages to ask if it was done already or not on the landing day!
