all i can tell u is hang in there!!!! good news will come!!! and in general no news from them (Bucharest or whatever office) means they don't need anything extra and soon ur visa will be given!! :) also for the Bucharest side u need to start counting with November - so now ur file is there for 3 months and their processing time is 6, so u r at the middle of the road...if u pass the 6 months u can do an official inquiry but i doubt u will pass....when did u do ur medicals? close to their expiry (one month before maybe) let them know by email, u can also send email now and ask abt ur file - at what stage it is; but i wouldn't yet!! what does ur e-cas say?

now i'm curious to know if u don't mind sharing what do u mean by ur file almost got lost? what happenned? did u send it by courier or by normal post to the POBOX? and how did they "find" it? (i just sent ours and i'm worried that the courier did not give me any signature at delivery; maybe they just put it at the door, God knows!! and of course it will pass another month before i could maybe find something out)

multumesc si multa bafta!!!! ;)

Thank you for the answer!

And all the advices..

Our file was almost lost, not becouse of the post office, my husbund kept on track the file after the numeber what Canada post office gave him, no problem with that. Our file got at Mississagua office on 20 July,so we waited for months to have their approval letter, after almost 3 months we got worried and then my husbund called Mississagua office asking about our status. Their answer to my husbund was: "You are not in the sistem which is not normal after almost three months, and we don't know why..." Then my husbund said: "My file has to be in your office becouse I have the proff from Canada post that you received the file on 20 July...." Then the clerk said " Mr I will take note about all this and if you don't have news in a week call us back ..."

We waited and my husbund called again Mississagua and he get the folloing answer: "Mr we found your file, we sorry, that happend becouse of the Canada post strike which took place for more than a month or so..."

Now our file was found, we waited then for the approval letter.

The approval letter came on 14 November (here the delay was from our fault, I forgot to sign two papers and when that happens the whole package is returned) in which they were saying " Mr you are accepted as a sponsor of your wife and your file will be send at Bucharest...."

Now we have the letter and now we can apply for the certificat de selection de Quebec, which my husbund get it on 2 December.

From then of course I wrote an email to the Canadian Embassy in Bucharest twice, after the winter holidays and each time they responded me "...your husbund file didn't reach our office yet...."

Worries grows up!

"Why? I don't understand our file was send to Bucharest on 14 November recording their letter..."My husbund called again Mississagua office and they couldn't give him a full answer concerning our file: "Mr we don't know for sure if your file has been sent already in Bucharest, the delay is not normal, I will take note of that and I will make sure that your file is send immediately with the priority of beeing processed..."

E-cas status shows: --We recieved your application on 21 July--
--We start processing your file on 12 October--
--We send you a letter about the decision made on 8 November--
--Please consider the delays in the mail delivery before contact us--

Now I am waiting for news, and it's taking so long...or maybe only for me it seems long becouse I am here without my husbund, and it's not easy at all, even I saw him for Christmas.

Now I think I have to wait for the AOR from Bucharest, hope to recive it soon, becouse I have a few papers to send again, my legalized copie of my new passport (I had a temporarry one so I had to change it) and my legalized copie of my birth certificate which I forgot to add it in the first place, I realized that later on after reading once again with my husbund the check list...

Thank you again for all the advices, I will follow them and I will load my self with tones of patience.... ;).

woooow lots of details multumesc muuuuuuuuult :) it's really confusing why the Bucharest office say they don't have ur file yet, keep following, at some point there will be some light :) call Missisauga, sent again emails to Bucharest too

we used DHL (cuz i really wanted to have clear proof of when the package arrives), all good, we tracked it online, all good until the delivery; when we track it said "delivered to the mailroom, no signature available" while for others they got signature and they were comparing who signed for it ??? of course i made inquiry with them and they assure me everything is ok, but still noone can confirm me if someone signed for it or why there was no signature available as it should have been....they just say ask the receiver (as if it was that simple, niste prosti)...i try not to worry but it's hard (we r both outside Canada and we sent it from faaaaaaaar; it wasn't the smallest package and it was soooo expensive; we did it for the peace of mind which we still don't have 100% ??? )

looooool u know once we pass the fist stage we'll apply for CSQ as well :);) hope things will clarify for u soon!! keep in touch...merci pt incurajari si din nou multa bafta :)

I've heard DHL it's a good mail company, I am sorry though, that was nobody to sign for it. If they said they left it in the mail box that is true, you will have news soon, I am sure, now the average for a processing file is 56 days.

:http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp

You wait for 56 days or more just to be sure and if you still not have news then I advice you to call Mississagua office just to be sure they have your file.

My husbund allways saing that "we trust them but in the same time we have to keep eye on them.... ;)"

Everybody could make mistakes.

I forgot to add earlyer, that , how we were worried and we didn't have a clearly answer my husbund was asking for help at a member of parliament (CIC are obliged to give a full answer to a member of parliament) So Mrs. Papillon (deputat of Quebec) get for us a full answer. Our file is in Bucharest recording her letter, but I didn't get any letter from Bucharest that's why I am confused..

If you have problems with your file Mrs Papillon could help you but only if you are canadian cetizen.

Good luck to you too! And don't forget: tones of patience!!!!! ;)

Tinem legatura... :)

heeeeello I.N.

multumesc mult for all the details :) yeah i'm canadian citizen no problems there but i'm just not sure if i could contact the same deputy or not - Madame Fluturash ;) seems like a nice lady; but i think i would need to contact the one from our voting area, or any deputy is good?....not sure and hope it will not be necessary ;)

yeah ur husband is sooo right; we have to trust them that they do their job but on the other hand "nu trebuie sa ne culcam pe o ureche";) we should always follow as much as we can and make sure; by the way, if she confirmed to u that ur file is in Bucharest then it's ok i think; i'm not sure how Bucharest works but other embassies never send "hi how r u we received ur package" email; they just send emails when they need something; if no email it's better for us to think that everything is ok, they work on it and they don't need anything else for now, until the passport request ;D

numai bine and definately tinem legatura!!! multa bafta si da muuuuuuuuuuuuulta rabdare!!!!! :)

Hello to you too!

Yes Madame Fluturas :) is very nice, and she is a deputy of Quebec where my husbund lives at this moment and I am going to live soon :) ;).

But in your case, if you are not from Quebec, Madam Fluturas cannot help you, I know for sure that you have to contact the deputy from your region.

Thank you for your encouragements, I am quite confident that I will not have problems, you know what they say"..no news it means good news.... ;))

We must stay positive! :)

I wish you to have a fast process as well; I bet you will have.. :); like we already know Bucharest is on 4th place from all 44 Canadian Embasses in the world in processing immigration files.

Numai bine si pe curand!! :)

hihihi u'll live in the capitale de la region ;) i'm from Montreal, so yeah it's different MP :) Bucharest is one of the fastest embassies - not very surprised since it's taken care of just 3 countries, and Moldova is so small....so yeah u r lucky but not me (at least not from what we see on the processing site)...i'm the sponsor and my origins r romanian yes but he's not....we will have such a long wait ahead of us but at least we wait together; of course for my family back in Canada it has a big impact and it's hard to know them alone...i could also get romanian residency back (no idea how), take him to Romania with me (with spouse residency i suppose no idea how either), have his file transfered there as country of residence and wait there....but at least here we have jobs, we r ok...there probably not :mad:...after being so long outside it would really be the last resort in our minds...for now i just hope that their processing times r wrong and if we would b done in 1 year, 1 year 1/2 we'd b sooo happy....honestly, it does not matter too much cuz we just wait for a better life; as long as he gets the visa, it's well worth it!!!!!!!!

tinem legatura!! :)

Yes, your case it's a bit more complcated,it seems... but hey! You and him are toghether, that makes everything easyer for you two, it's not much at all 1 year or so, when you are with your beloved one. Piece of cake ;).

I am here with my family and I am very fine but without my husbund I would lie to say that I am completely happy...well this is love, what we cand do about it... :).

I am sure your family in Canada are ok without you, I am guessing that when you are happy they are happy as well; of course they are missing you a lot but they are not unhappy. :)

I have a friend in Paris who has two kids, and the oldst one finished highschool and moved in Israel and enrolled in the army...and believe me she was never unhappy about her doughter's decision; she said to me"...I am happy becouse she is happy, she did in life exactlly what she alawys dreamed of.... :)"

I admire a lot this woman... :).

So no worries, your family is happy becouse you are happy!

Best wishes to you and to your family.

Pe curand! :) ;)

oooh that's sweet thank u :D no our case is not really complicated, no previous relationships, both young, all clean, it's just he's citizen of the wrong region (politically speaking); yeah there r some differences and we paid attention to mention and explain how we deal with them and how it does not affect us but in the same time we have plenty of things in common and of course we put them in evidence too ;) we've been together since 2006 so i'm not worried abt that; it's just we r in the wrong place and it will take some time the process and we r both different from the lifestyle, "normal" couple here but it does not affect our live in any way LOL; we enjoy and take advantage of every second together cuz that at the end is the most important :)

definately my family supports us and our decisions (the story u said was very nice :) ) it would just b much easier if we were closer to them....with age it's good to have someone around and i want to be there for them too....i just hope all this is temporary and soon we will!!!!!

all the best, best wishes for u and ur loved ones too!! :)
