Ok, it's been a long decade, haha. VERY long story short, I got my PR and moved to Canada to be with Husband #1. That didn't work out well. He wasn't good to me, it was very hard and sad. I got a job to work in South Korea. As I went through that process (as well as the divorce process) I met...

Hi everyone.. it's been a really long time since I've been here. It's been a long journey too. To make a VERY long story short... it didn't work out between my first spouse (and PR sponsor) and I. I filed for divorce. After filing, I met a man and we left Canada to teach in Asia. This man is a...

The teaching field in the GTA is completely saturated. New grads are waiting 5+ years for jobs, and you can imagine how it will be for internationally educated teachers. I'm in the same boat. I have a Masters as well.

YAY Bonacker and everyone else! Sorry I haven't been around... I waited about 5 weeks for my visa and had a lot of problems in the meantime... some major depression :( I got my visa in the mail today. I sent it off over a month ago and the visa was stamped on the 28th. I'm not sure why they...

Yay Jello! Hopefully the next thing that Sugar and Heather will get will be PPR :D And soon! :D

That's what I always said, but then came all these negative comments about marriages and timelines and, yes, I probably overreacted. I'm very sorry if I hurt anyone.. and yes, I am a small town person who doesn't know people from a great variety of backgrounds and such. I try to be open minded...

That's what I tried and it showed nothing, and that's when I called. There's good news though! It was just scanned in Jamaica, NY, which is apparently a suberb of NYC! It's almost there :) Hopefully someone will sign for it today. I just hate mail, lol. Hubby left his passport in my car once...

Honeybird, that's where all of this came from. Some members posted that it is suspicous that people applied for PR shortly after marriage and that everyone just needed to apply as conjugal or common law first and then get married later. I was trying to explain that not everyone thinks it's ok...

I had to send the photographs as well. They are the same size.. the 'PR' photos! Contrats! Heather and Sugar, I'm sorry that you are still waiting :( I'm still waiting on NYC to get my package.. I got signature confirmation and tracking, but I called about it today and they said the tracking is...

If they don't belong to a religion that's fine, but don't come in here saying that those who are married shortly before applying for PR should be looked at with skepticism. I say I don't judge them because I never say a word.. I would have never said a word about it on here either until people...

That's exactly the thing though.. many of us don't see marriage as 'man made'. It's a big part of our religious beliefs. Also.. I guess this might just be me, but I've yet to meet any 'common law' people who are at the level of a marriage. One or both of them sleep around, they say they would...

I don't know.. I understand she wants to give her kid a better life, but I believe I'd rather have my child with me than leave her alone in Toronto (and a shady area of Toronto at that!). After reading her refugee claim, I'm a bit skeptical. Someone bullied her and they were friends with the...

My personal belief is that if you love someone that much, you should commit and marry them. If you can't handle the arguments about who does the dishes and the laundry, then you aren't ready to be adult, much less a spouse. If you are willing to immigrate to be with someone, it should be someone...

Seib, I'm so sorry to hear that. Are you in Canada? Did you pay any of the PR fees yourself?

Some people are extremely self centered to think that my entire post was directed towards them or was about them. Several people on here have made similar comments, such as marriage being nothing more than a piece of paper, etc. If it doesn't apply to you, it is obviously not directed towards...

We typed ours out, but we also had to make some last minute additions and corrections, so those were done by hand. It wasn't a problem.. as long as they can read it and it's black ink, I'm sure it's fine.

Not everyone thinks that it is morally right to live with someone before they are married. Why does that make a person suspicous? I believe you can learn about a person without sharing living quarters or even sharing a country. I knew more about my then boyfriend of 6 years than most of my...

Cool :) My final processing was in NYC, so you may want to have that on there next time. I mailed my PP on Thursday, Priority Mail with signature confirmation and tracking, but the tracking has yet to say anything except that I dropped it off! I've read up some and they say that they often...

Have you landed as a PR? If so, it is the law that she has to support you for three years. If she is kicking you out and you have to go on welfare, she has to pay the federal government back. If it were me, I would get a job asap.. any job and save up to leave ASAP. If she gives you any lip...

Stumpedmom, I would very highly suggest that you send everything in with your application. Your medical HAS to be done before you apply. Your FBI and everything else they require really needs to be sent in all at once. You should also pay all the fees before you send the application. You can...
