Thought I would create a thread to compare stories from similar situations. In my case, my app was recv'd January 28, 2013, Sponsorship approval April 2013, I sent my medicals, FBI back ground check, all docs for application in first package sent to immigration. August -- Copy of passport...

Thanks for your advice. No, the lawyer will not be getting any more money from us , as we had a flat fee. The fee was to cover services until the process is over. They still are handling the case, so I still expect them to be answering questions we may have from time to time, especially as the...

Your case sounds really upsetting. You have my utmost sympathy. It's not much, I know, but better than feeling like people are ignoring your post. :-( I'm confused about who is the sponsor. Are either of you Canadian residents or citizens?

I've been trying to get a straight answer, but haven't have any luck. When we first started this process, I had to do the police clearance , fingerprinting..etc..you know the drill. Okay..fine..that was at the very beginning. As I have no criminal background and have nothing exciting about my...

Thanks for you comment. We are holding on as tightly as we can. Hoping we are stronger for it. No, no military background really. My father was in the military when I was an infant, but it's been a very long time since that. Although I don't understand why someone's having a family member who...

you're welcome. :)

wow, dude..get a life. Because it must be pretty miserable since you are spending your time in here insulting people you don't even know.

Also very good advice. I forgot to stress that..about NOT using the words "moving" or "coming to live in Canada".

sorry I don't know the answer to your question but i just want to give you an big CONGRATULATIONS! on getting that letter today. :)

You don't have to be sorry for jumping in. Thank you for your words of understanding. I truly appreciate them.

Hi there. I`m in a similar position as your husband in that I am an American who is being sponsored by my Canadian spouse. Here are some of the things I`ve learned in the last couple of years coming back and forth to visit my husband. 1. First, your husband always has to tell the guard the...

That's a tiny consolation, but we'll take it. Did I notice correctly that your application took only 4 months to complete from start to landing day? If I am not mistaken, how, in God's name, did you do that? I'm really puzzled at the difference between cases and timelines. My case is just a...

Oh..i understand now. Yes, I know about the tax mess. So incredibly unjust!! I have thought of that if I should ever decide to become a citizen of Canada ( still waiting pretty indefinitely at the moment for my PR, so that's a loooong way off.) I couldn't do that , though, as long as my...

I feel your pain. Why do you have to renounce your US citizenship ASAP though? Is that some new requirement to becoming a Canadian Citizen?

No news on my application. No news from the lawyer. My husband and I went to see a local member of parliament to ask if they could just find out some answers for us so we can make some informed decisions about our lives. We found out that it will not be before mid July. There apparently is a...

There are starving children out there. Yet I still reserve my right to b*tch when I get a bad meal at a restaurant. Indeed.

QcOkie has no idea how I function in Quebec. I'm not just visiting for a weekend. I'm here for 6 months at a time when I can be, living and communicating with French speaking people every day. I'm not some tourist using a phrase book to get by. Finally, I'm not judging you. What would I be...

That's just it. It is not your place to judge my relationship. Period. Anyone with common sense would understand what I meant by the comment I made.

Thank you. :)

D**n! There are some self-righteous, judgmental people in here! You don't even know me. How in the heck can you tell if I have the "right attitude" or not, just by some posts in this forum? You don't know what I am like in person or what I do from day to day. And as far as living in Quebec...
