I am seriously considering, after my wife arrives, ( Lord willing) after 1 year, contacting folks at TLN= Telelatino, and urging them to get with it, and go after this....( many explatives here), gov't, and DEMAND changes made to this BS favoritism in Canada! I do not know what it all entails...

The word " un-fair" aroze. I have not wanted to say anything because the last thing in the world I want is anything to make my waiting any longer than necessary. I wrote somewhere on here, we were married last July 2,2008. To add to what I have gone through, I did talk to someone with...

Rasha, I am happy for people who breeze in, in only a few months. Waiting for one year this month has been exremely hard. I recieved in formation from Bogota that it will probably still be 2-4 months for us. The lady who works part time for my M.P. , would only look at at all classes of P.R. and...

Mita. , one scenario you pointed out EEK!, I am not too worried, just still waiting so long,,but, I never thought about my wife viewed that way. She is now 47, was only married for 1 year, and has an 8 year old daughter. I am 54 , so age wise, I think we are perfect. But of course her living in...

Glad to know nothing is slowed down by obtaining C.A.I.P.S. notes as I obtained our's from Bogota a few months ago. As they hardly revealed anything new to me, I finally had a lady who works for our M.P. contact Bogota for information, considering it has been 9 months in Bogota. She recieved an...

For those of us who have been waiting 10 months so far, it has really been tough. I have finally heard from Bogota probably another 2-4 months. So when people get ansy after a month or two,but then I do occasionally read of people waiting 17 months, so, I hope we are on the down hill slide with...

WOW! Leon,now I really wonder why anyone would try inland. My wife living in Colombia doesn't stand a chance visiting Canada on a visitor visa. I have not seen her in nearly a year. It will probably still be a few months,and I hate the wait...but in-land...? Poor person in Canada, cannot leave...

with the dangers of in-land, no option to leave canada, possibly 2 years,and no appeal if needed, I almost wonder why anyone would risk in-land...But then again,,,out-land waiting "forever" to see your loved one sucks. Flip a coin ?

Hoping I am correct. I have book marked two gov't sites with statistics since last year as to typical waiting time. One site reads...."Family Class:Spouses & Partners April 1,2008 to march 32,2009... In my case I read "80% finalized 13 months. This is in Bogota, and I am sure is time from when a...

WAW, that is a sad story. I want to be careful ,as I am sure there are a lot of good people working in Canadian immigration and probably not an easy job at times, but for what it is worth, my niece is married to a canadian customs official. I talked to him last week for a while. He told me...

Hi. The waiting thing is hard, but worse, is you feel left in the dark as to what , assumimg something , is happening in the background. Amazingly, ( and I am happy for the good people), many have their PR within only 4-8 months. Like many, I sent all my documents to Miss, almost 11 months ago...

Hi. Just my personal experience, I don't remember the cost, but I was surprized that at a local foto shop that does studio type photography, they could not even do the correct fotos for me. I had to go to another town for them. An aside, I see you are in Iowa, I was born in Council Bluffs Iowa...

Just to encourage you, I have always been terrible at reading and filling out forms and such, but, I managed ( I am still waiting 10 months later,but it is in the works).I was shocked to see the fees some immigration consultants ask on the internet. So, my opinion,,I am sure you can work through...

Hi, not qualified to give an answer, but,,,,as to all this supposed meaningless stuff they ask for,,,,After waiting 10 months, seeing others get visas far sooner, I have become quite cynical of this whole sysytem.Why so long, why so much supposedly "insignificant" detail. But, after reading...

Thanx rj, you make a lot of sense. In my situation last year, I actually talked with someone in Canadian immigration. They seemed to think it was ok to go to Colombia,get married, and my new wife could come back with me.Lucily, I talked with someone else who said, that would probably not happen...

Hi friends..My observation on trackitt, is very few cases turn pink=application denied. Just wonder if anyone has any idea what chances are for out-right denial and the hassle of appeal. I am pretty sure my situation will turn out great in a few months, but I have no idea what I would do if my...

Great to hear when people get their visas, as for me, I am slowly falling back into dpression. I cannot go back there, but after not seeing my wife "physically" for 10 months,it is really getting "draining". I recieved my CAIPS notes last week, only indicated, medicals were good, and file to be...

thanx PMM, you have helped a lot of people on here. I guess,now, it is all a waiting game with no way of knowing anything more until we are contacted. From accounts on trackit, Half the cases through Bogota zipped through in around 6 months. A few others took just over a year. We are really...

by the way, I live in B.C., so I suppose if needed, an interview with me would be closer in AB.

Dear forum,,,like many " I hang" on this forum each day looking for any glimmer of hope. I applied outland sponsorship of my wife in Colombia,July 2008. AOR letter, Oct.28,2008. I just received my C.A.I.P.S. notes. Every area for a decision just has 0. But, I keep reading, " paper file sent to...
