after 9 months of waiting, it's still so disappointing and discouraging

Well I think that its shows you're both the same sort of people that enjoy a similar lifestyle.

Having more information that you share a life together is great, its not the job of the IO to assess whether or not in 5 years (or whatever) when the time for adventures lessen that the relationship won't be as stable as it is now. They can only look at the information presented and see what assess the relationship in its current form, of which all this information helps establish a genuine relationship.

Plumosa, I do hope all IOs have the same kind of mentality as Couchsurfers, or at least you and I! I am just worried that they could judge our relationship capricious or irregular as we are not doing what most people do: sticking at one place, having a stable career, planning to build a family and so...You know, for us it's life experience and real life learning, as precious as anything else, but in some people's eyes, it could be viewed as playful or immature...

BTW, you were fast in sending the supplementary info!

I think that as long as you write a note explaining what you said here that you'll be fine. I honestly believe that they just need to make sure the relationship is genuine, and not to pass on judgments on anything else. You're also only needing this information for the very first part of your common-law relationship proof right? or are you planning on withdrawing and resubmitting?

heheh, well I was planning on sending things in months ago, just had to wait for the ceremony in june to occur so I'd have some nice photos....not that it wasn't a mad dash to print out everything in the end anyways. mentally prepared, in reality procrastination as always. But it helped that I'm getting super anxious and just want this whole thing to be over with. I'd do anything to avoid having to have the delay of an interview!

Why do they have to wait 9 months to tell you that??and after having told you to go on with MICC too??? It's ridiculous. another point down for immigration Canada....

Of course send more evidence, as much as you can....but you said you already did, so my advice is to send the same things you already sent plus more stuff this time, overload them with information.....
