    @profiler: thanks, that was so nice of you to share. I guess feeling "normal" it's a habit that comes with time.

    I know that's kind of personal but do you mind me asking how she feels about her accent? I personally struggle with this even though my husband says I have NO accent at all; the only thing out of the ordinary is that I speak in a very academic manner (about 20 years of school in/ about American...

    Don't worry, GuyanaGirl. I had my app sent before you and still haven't got the hardcopy in the mail. The only way I know I've been approved it's myCIC (which you weren't able to link with). It takes a while for the mail to travel all its way from Alberta :) As profiler said, start applying for...

    @profiler: remember I was told by a call centre agent that my OWP app doesn't matter cause I don't qualify for the program and 3 days later it was approved?! I rest my case.

    You get a .pdf in myCIC under messages that sounds like: "Your application to remain in Canada as a temporary resident has been approved. A secure document has been mailed to you at the address that you provided when you made your application. If you have not received your secure document...

    We had about 90, counting the candies left... But I live in a very crowded tight-community neighbourhood where everybody knows almost everybody so it was also parents socializing; I guess that;s why there were so many of them.

    Thanks a lot. Do you have any idea if they take checks? Cause on the website says only cash or debit, no CC.

    Awesome! Everybody was giving me candy, mostly because I've put an effort and dressed up but I think it's because I'm cute :D I was very impressed, all that crowd on the street, kids, parents, everybody. I had no idea you take Halloween so serious. My neighbour and I made a deal: next year...

    What about cultural mosaic vs melting pot?! And I've seen sugar skull face stickers at the dollar store too - of course not as good as I can do it :P - so apparently they are in demand around here. Anyway, I live in one of those neighbourhoods where everybody knows everybody so I don;t worry...

    Same here, my first pumpkin I assumed it was a squash and got all set up for baking a pie! The husband had noooo idea what I was talking about and not until he saw my disappointed face when I realized there was nothing for me to fill the pie with he understood what was going on in my mind. We...

    Yep, totally agree. I'm pretty sure they ran some statistics saying that more than 90% spousal sponsorship cases stay married for a long time after PR is issued so they use this to show they are "improving" something. But I bet there won't be a real reduction in processing time for the majority...
