I really was hoping to see some good news this week... We've been planning since this time last year to visit my family in the US for Christmas this year. We keep holding off buying plane tickets because we don't want to buy them and then because of immigration taking so long having to cancel...

Congrats! :)

My fingers AND toes are crossed that someone will have good news this week. :)

I really don't think that it is an issue for us though here. Being sponsored, one parent is most likely already a citizen. I think they're mainly trying to stop people just coming to Canada for a vacation, having the baby, and getting the baby citizenship that way.

Sad news, but expected...haven't heard any news from ortom or nurse2012 so they still haven't gotten theirs and they are July 30th applicants. Guess we just have to hope for tons of good news next week!

I do think he filed inland, he was just super lucky and received AIP when all the people started getting theirs processing super fast before it slowed down in February. Oh, how I miss those days! A month worth of processing done every week! It was definitely an exciting time, and everyone was...

This is exactly what it is!

It doesn't surprise me, I'm at 12 and 1/2 months now and the way it's going I believe it.

Unfortunately we've tried that already. Along with the petition that was put together, it did attract a small amount of media attention. The Toronto Star asked for people to share their stories. But what I've found from all of that is 1) most of the people that even comment on our predicament...

I am very sorry you guys are having to go through all this turmoil at such a young age still, you should be having fun being in love not having to deal with all of this. I do feel like we're being punished just because we fell in love with someone from another country, and the stress...

Congrats! I'm so excited for you! :) All the waiting is finally at it's end for you. :)

This is good to know, I knew I had to wait until landing to try and get my RAMQ card, I didn't know about the 3 month wait period though. I knew that was true for Ontario but did not know that about Quebec. On top of that, even if you change provinces from Quebec to Ontario you have to wait 3...

I feel your frustration...it really sucks to be so close yet so far away! I'm so ready for this phase in our lives to be over. Come on CIC, get your butts in gear! :P

I was on traveler's insurance for a while before we started this process, but that runs out pretty quick. My husband tried to get me on his private health insurance that is provided to him by his workplace, but until I get a SIN or health card # that's actually out of the question. I've seen...

Although the new system of processing applications didn't officially start until this month, our files were transferred to Mississauga months ago. I'm not quite sure why they didn't start the new process once the files were first transferred, but unless they were lying to us, the long downtime...

Congrats! :)

I'm with you Sophieee, if I didn't find things to do like exercise, babysit my nieces, looking into redecorating our house, find new recipes to try, etc...I would be a looney case right now! I also haven't been able to work for two years now, and the financial strain alone is enough to stress...

Congrats!! This is excellent news! ;D

I totally am with Ponga here...all this negativity isn't going to help anyone. This tends to happen anytime we have a long period of time with no progress. And I agree, we should be thankful for what we have, and not focus on what we can't control. I know it's frustrating, and I'm to my...

That's what I keep trying to tell myself as well. Otherwise, 3 weeks with no AIPs makes me super depressed! I just feel bad for those here on the forums that are still waiting for AIP who were still before July 30th...
