No news. It's been over a month since they received the extra info about military service and four months since they started processing his application. Only 4 months but it feels longer. But I'm off to Belgrade in 9 more sleeps!

It doesn't mean anything . Our status has shown medical results received for months now.

A civil ceremony done in Serbia is legal here in Canada. I just got married to a Serb, but we had our ceremony here in Canada and now he has gone back and we're doing the waiting game with immigration. My husband had a hard time getting a visitor's visa, I don't think most people realize how...

I will tell him that! It will be Canadian sarma. Maybe we can say that we have sarma-karma now. ;)

ticket booked. Received notice today that they want more details of his military service. Of course there are few details because he only spent a month in an airline hangar. No combat, nothing. And they want details that he tells me he can't remember because it was 20 years ago. Also, in...

I received a special sign from the immigration angels today that my husband will be here with me in Canada...eventually. I was shopping at Safeway. And in the produce department, right beside the squash was a whole head of sour cabbage, the key ingredient in sarma! My husband said it...

I have a similar problem. There is a spelling error of the street name. I've notified them about it but they don't bother changing it. The address is the same though, and I've received mail (sponsorship letter) which is addressed correctly. It's just spelled wrong on the website.

February... and they've only had his military records for a month now. So it hasn't been that long. I don't thing CAIPS would be useful quite yet. Maybe in a month. We can't afford to rent a place for 2 weeks...

It's not that easy to just go. There are some complications. His grandpa lives with him and usually when I go to visit he goes and stays with his daughter, but now she has cancer and is going through treatments. The three of us in that tiny apartment would not be good for a lot of reasons. A...

It's our anniversary today. We should be together. Sigh. I'm debating whether to go back to Serbia this summer to visit him. We were hoping on that outside chance that he'd be here by summer, but I kind of doubt that now. It's so expensive, this traveling back and forth. If I knew he was...

I support your comments. It makes me angry as well.

I don't understand why you need a joint account unless you are living together. I personally think it makes you look desperate, trying to cover all bases. Opening an account and just putting a bit of money in it? What purpose does that serve? Some married/partnered couples in Canada have...

Report him. He's taking advantage of the system. It's because of people like this that legitimate claims now take so long. He sounds like a fraudster and a cheat; why would you want to be with someone like that anyway? There is always a better solution.

Well, we're remaining hopeful that the security checks won't take that long. They asked for my husband's translated military records right away unlike previous applicants. Considering that they ask for them why don't they require them in the initial application? Anyway, my husband was in...

Wow. You are so patient. I sure our application doesn't take that long.

Well, get used to it. Imagine being married to someone who comes from a country that has war criminals. I've fallen in love with a man from one of these countries who is innocent and good. Yeah, life isn't fair. If you can find another country more just than Canada then so be it. I'm tired...

Just sending out resumes will not get you a job. You need to make personal contact with employers. Make phone calls, introduce yourself and say you'd like to drop off your resume. That way when you drop it off the receptionist will remember your name. Then after a few days you need to follow...

I don't trust it for some reason. Just a gut instinct. Count me out.

I really don't understand why I need to do this. This site is just fine for my needs.

It's hard to not compare when the process seems so subjective at times. There are so many factors involved. For example, the visa officer we may have to have an interview with is notorious for being rude and tough. And then I hear about other VO's who are really nice. Does this seem fair...
