I have definitely considered this! I'm a December 2013 applicant and this is just painful. I didn't do my research enough before we applied... My husband is from HK and their office is 7 months! This is awful. I'm pregnant and just want this nonsense to be over with. :( If it still doesn't get...

Thanks for everyone's responses!! :) I'm really glad I don't /have/ to send anything in, definitely eases the stress a bit! Hey Griffin! Oh wow, haha exact same boat! :) That's what I was thinking. I'm not worried about them speeding up our application as my husband is currently on a 3 year...

Thanks a lot!! Oh that's good! I didn't want to have to make it a big thing to make sure I sent it in in time! :P That's good to know, it seems like a pain in the butt!! Would it maybe be a good idea for additional proof of genuine relationship though? (We could only send pictures and letters...

Hi guys, I am just hoping someone can please help me. I just confirmed that I am pregnant and I am wondering how I can update CIC on this information? (I will get an ultrasound done and have a doctors note. Is there somewhere I can send this? Do I just send it with the letter to the VO with...

Can anyone tell me what AOR actually means? I got a letter saying that they received our application, another saying it's been transferred and online our status is 'application received'. Have I gotten AOR? (I'm hoping it's that they have it!!!) If not, I'll be worried as I sent it away in...

Has anyone here ever considered withdrawing and applying outland instead? (For those who are still going to be waiting for a loooong time, of course!) I have been entertaining the thought of maybe just pulling ours and sending it to the outland office (HK is currently 7 months. :o ) They...

Ah, I see. That makes sense, I think. That's the thing, rhcohen, he already has a post-graduate work permit, I just wasn't sure if they'd scrap it. :/ I agree! We definitely would've done it outland at the start, but at this point in time his work permit is important as I am pregnant and a...

Ah, crap. That's a huge deal breaker for us. :( I hope he can keep it! Ahhh, I see. Luckily, he is a Hong Kong citizen, I'll take the 7 months! Haha! Oh that's good news! I was worried about that, I'll have to talk to him and see if he's willing to lie around for 7 months. :S Although, I'm...

Thanks for replying, Cutiepie!!! :) Yes! I remember this. :) I really really wish we had in the first place. :( I feel like we've wasted so much time already. (At least he can work!) That was my biggest concern, wondering if his OWP would be no longer valid. And of course, I wouldn't want...

I hate to change subject, but I notice a lot of people mentioning that their application should be almost finished at 11 months? (I may be misunderstanding)... but ours was received December 2013, moved to Missisauga and then there has been no update since! (Still says 'application received'...

Anyone? :(

Hi everyone, So, my husband is from Hong Kong and we are currently painfully waiting for his application to be looked at (Although, processing times haven't budged at all and they're working on apps from over a year ago ugh). And now I'm starting to think that they won't even get everything...

Hi there! I just had a quick question. My husband is applying inland and we cannot obtain his police clearance from his home country until we get the letter requesting it from CIC. However, I'm wondering if while we're waiting, to speed up the whole process a bit, can we get police clearance...

Hi everyone! I just have a quick question. They received our application on December 9, 2013 and the status is still 'application received'. Will it only change to something else after the 11 month wait period or is that it? I'm just confused as I looked at a spreadsheet online and it says...

Hahaha, some people didn't have the luck to find their soulmates at a young age! They just don't get us. :P ... Woooow. It always shocks me what people will say about others. In a way, I guess it's good. Feels so much better when you prove 'em wrong. Ohhhhh, I see! I did recieve AOR. We're...

Oh okay, I see what you mean! It's true, you are very right. I never thought of it that way. Hmmm, I'm going to go with you on that one and say no as well. Since we haven't left Canada, I have no intentions of leaving Canada while pregnant either. Thanks for the information!

Oh that's good news, thank you! Ah, that's true. We did consider that. We're applying inland. I really didn't want to be away from him while it got processed. :P Whew!! So, I need to wait until the first step is done? I can do that. I just wasn't sure if I should be ordering them regularly or...

Hi there all! I have many concerns after coming to this forum as I sent the application in December using only the resources of a local multicultural society aiding us in the application process. They actually told my husband and I that our 'marriage would speak for itself'. REALLY. I didn't...

Very true, brucem! We figured it wouldn't look right if he suddenly went back to Hong Kong after being here for 6 years. :P Even if it was just to speed everything up! I'm hoping this is a good point towards us. I would be so lost if he was rejected. :( Very good point! I've read that you can...

Ohhh, that's good news! I'm thinking we will know long before that. ;D Thank you very very much! Good point. I haven't heard anything yet, so not sure what to expect. I am just wondering if they give you the option to update them at some point. I believe a house and a baby is a huge point...
