    Yes. I believe child care benefits is tied to your income. You will receive more if you don't work. Will this affect your sponsorship? Not if you are working.

    i emailed ottawa this afternoon inquiring explicitly about the whereabouts of my file. I also asked them the delay behind my medicals not showing up on ecas. I did it all in a very masoom way- lets see what they say! :)

    looks like 2010 applicants were the worst affected because that is when the time line jumped from 6 months to 16 months to 24 months. Lets hope there is no more waiting for them.

    I don't think so. I believe the only time CIC shows concern is when the sponsor receives welfare while sponsoring his/her spouse. Of course if the spouse comes to Canada and starts receiving assistance within three years- then the sponsor owes the assistance received to the government. They will...

    I supported the lawyers movement back in 2007 and I thought it would be a catalyst for greater change. However, now when I reflect it seems like things have gotten worse! There was more stability when Musharraf was around.

    I agree with you. I know a sikh guy who got duped not too long ago. So what must we do to improve this bond? Should we bring Musharraf back because in 2004 the processing time was a mere 4-6 months!

    so true- but our compatriots do engage in marraige fraud and feel no shame saying they just want a "Canadian" passport. Minister Kenney isn't too pleased when he hears this and then we all suffer. >:(

    Hello when did your husband do his medicals? In 2011 or 2012? My wife did hers in November 2011- and I was wondering since they are now expired if that was the reason my ecas isn't showing medicals received. Basil, seems like you are in a similar situation?

    I kind of agree with you here. I do believe that Less is More. If you are always talking to each other all the time- then you take everything for granted. There has got to be a little bit of suspence and mystery in life.

    my wife and I were the same. Before marraige we used to talk a lot- almost every other night on the phone. When I came back from Pakistan my mood was off and there came a time this summer I barely talked to her once a week. I caused her a lot of stress and anguish. However things are getting...
