Its been like forever of waiting on our spousal sponsorship application in Canada. I am the one whose being sponsored by my partner who is a Canadian citizen and we are in a same sex relationship and we applied for conjugal spousal sponsorship. It was September 2013 when we sent our application to CIC missisauga in Ontario.we recieved an acnowledgement letter Sept 18, 2013 that my partner passed the eligibility to sponsor me and sent our papers to Manila Embassy. It was then May 13.2014 when i recieved an email from my consultant stating that the visa officer requested for my passport and appendix A, i was so excited that time because i thought they will already stamp my passport with visa and i will be with my partner soon. Unfortunately I was wrong and we waited until January of 2015 asking for additional documents becuase the visa officer was not satisfied on the genuiness of our relationship.We were helpless and stressed that time because of that. but still we managed to be strong and just accomplish the request of the visa officer. We sent the documents they asked for last Feb 6,2015 ,we gathered everything we can send like continous remmitances, letters from both families, skype and viber communications and a cover letter that would sum up everything we passed before and now. Its nearly our 20 months of waiting on our application. my passport is already 1 yr from the immigration and i havent had any remedical requests yet.its really frustrating our papers are getting delayed we dont know why but all we can do is wait. I know patience is a virtue but its getting tougher and tougher becuase of the waiting time. We hope everything will be worth waiting for.Weve been through a lot now and me and my partner has a lot of plans together .We already celebrated our 4th yr anniversary last march 25,2015 through skype .we love each other so much,we are willing to wait but we hope that the visa officer will give us a chance to be together because our relationship is for real and we wanted to have a family together.. Its really frustrating. we just hope our papers will get a good result.
