    Poor kitty :( Mine both started out as barn cats at my ex's place. My kids decided I needed to adopt them, so they lucked out and got to be housecats lol. But they will eat ANYTHING, meat, rice, veggies... And they are shameless about it, if I'm having cereal Ryuko will stick his head in the...

    Thanks for that :) Like I just posted on my Facebook page I "know" it's an approval but that part of me that's seen so many hold ups, and setbacks through this, (though not nearly as many as a lot of people to be sure), will be sweating it getting lost in the mail, a freak rejection lol

    Did my ritual Sunday check of the CIC website "A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision." I wish they would tell you what it was lol

    Just did my ritual Sunday CIC check "A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision." Now the paranoia really starts lol

    Right of Permanent Residence Fee - pay now? or later? what did u do?

    Paid everything at once, since we were going to have to pay it anyway might as well avoid added delays.

    You're lucky, last time heavy snow was predicted we got a reminder that management does not consider a driving ban to be a valid reason for not coming to work.

    I'm not condoning any kind of marriage fraud, but I suppose it's better something like this than duping an innocent woman into thinking he loves her and getting her to marry and sponsor him. Then leaving her heartbroken and on the hook for 3 years of benefits.

    Yes, having had one relationship like that fall apart, (at least we were both in the same country that time), I know just how easy something that isn't an issue in the short term or on vacation can become a major problem day to day. My wife and I made sure our visits weren't always on...

    I'm sure the people running the firm are quite professional, and everyone else I've dealt with has been excellent at their job. Just this last case manager has been a problem. I may just drop them a line after all

    That's a good idea but they would need to come up with a formula to adjust for factors that would place strain on a couple where immigration is involved. Things like culture shock or the difficulty any long distance/on line relationship will have going to being together 24/7.

    I was thinking that, but I'm not sure I want to risk making an enemy of the guy handling my case. At this point I should only have to deal with him to tell him I've received my COPR, but still... I'm thinking it's easier to tell them after I'm done the process.

    I know how that feels. I haven't seen my wife in over a year and it gets very lonely at times. And to be fair, we've been very happy with our lawyer up until now, (he's the one who sponsors this board actually), but the guy who's handled our case since my wife got sponsorship approval has left...

    I thought I had some good news Friday, got an email from CIC forwarded to me at work. Unfortunately it was because the unit numbers on my application and where to send the COPR documents didn't match. Seems my case manager never updated them when I moved. And his reply was damn snotty when I...

    That's another reason I'm letting a moving company take my stuff up. If I didn't need to bring the car....
