My husband can apply for citizenship in August of next year. I realize things can change a lot in a year but how long is it taking start to finish right now? CIC is saying 24 months!!! Is that accurate for the majority?

You will still get approved with no problems unless you have a police record.

I don't think they check Mexican credit. But they'll have to get a secured credit card. My husband got a capital one credit card. $300 cash for a $300 limit. Royal Bank made me give $1000 for a $1000 credit limit and they check US credit and mine is good. So you have to hand over a deposit at...

Congrats Leisa!

Oh come on - anything with tons of cursing is a rant. I'm not being rude. I feel no resentment and I've always been sympathetic to your complications. I'm actually very, very happy for you. I'm sorry you broke down and I'm sorry for all the challenges you faced. I just thought it was kinda...

Ya that doesn't count. After all his rants and problems and all our support and encouragement I can't believe he didn't even come back. LOL.

Hey everyone....I haven't been on in quite awhile. For those of you waiting still - good luck! =) I was wondering if anyone can tell me the cheapest/best/easiest way to call Mexico from Canada? My husband needs to call his dad. I got a calling card online but that was basically $10 for 60...

He's on the skilled worker board. This is the family class board.

Congratulations!!!!

This is excellent news! You are near the end! Yay!!

Congrats! Relish the moment.

We never got our letter of sponsorship approval. But, they did verify our approval over the phone. They will not resend a letter for 5 (?) weeks but by that time we had gotten an AOR from Mexico City so I didn't bother. It would have been nice to get though! The good news is, you're approved...

I keep deleting my replies because everything I say sounds so cliche or possibly completely unhelpful. So I will just say what I really feel. I am mostly on this forum still because I wanted to see you get your happy ending, the PPR. Clearly your happy ending will just be a different story. If...

I don't want to get your hopes up but my guess is the next month, maybe 6 weeks.

Taxes are higher than we are used to in California but we get a lot more benefits. OHIP, Child Tax Benefit, Universal Child Care Benefit. I can't complain, at least not yet!

Congrats!!! Time to party!!!

LOL - I submitted one email with response per year.
