Tell me how bad this is please?
Hubby lost his option c but had 2009's and his 2010 notice of assessment and said screw it and put those in the application.

Is it going to be returned to us?

I'll be leaving my daughters behind too (but got them examined for future) and they are happy for me too and anticipates white xmas'es already :D, but what gets me is some people who thinks that I am cruel and heartless to leave them. They are already not living with me at the moment (different states, I work away from hometown - very complicated custody arrangement - very bitter divorce) but it was decided as the best option for them and they are HAPPY and that is all that matters to me.

Oh dear Awor, he can't get a reprint in time? The checklist does mention that if there is no Option C provided to include a letter of explaination. And spouses are exempted from financial evaluation, maybe he can just include letter from employer and paystubs as well? Ask the seniors on the main page is this is acceptable and to mail the Option C later.

I just found out my husband didnt write any descriptions the back of the photos we submitted. :mad: I sent him the photos in digital format for him to reprint and made a storyboard as well for him to include each caption. He thought the digitals were for immigration and the storyboard was a gift for him LOL. Cant do much as everything has been sent but hoping that would not affect the application much.
Don't let people's weirdness get to you, you know you're on the right path! And OH NO! about the photos! Silly guy! It's pretty cute though. I hope you don't have any issues with it. Maybe send it along when you get a file number?

He's got the letter from his employer attached, but no letter of explanation as to why he's not including the 2010 option c. I guess he's having his mom send it tomorrow but I'm really nervous it'll get returned. I suggested we just wait for a new one... but we wanted sponsorship approved by Nov (so we can show the border, when he comes down to cross with us and ask the border if we can visit while PR is in process - my 1 year exclusion order will have just expired so we really need all the "ammo" we can to convince them to let us through), if we wait any longer, with the timeline for sponsorship creeping up and up, it won't happen in time.

Of course, if they app gets returned it won't either. Ugh. My stomach has been in constant knots since I sent it to him. My kids and I have not had the easiest life (my ex turned out to be a diagnosed sociopath, he's in prison for 60 years for what he did to us) and all this stress is really starting to get to me. And I can't even take meds to "chill out" cause I react VERY badly to them! LOL I have a good sense of humor and enjoy life for the most part, but this is wearing on me.

Sorry for the sob story, having him lose the option c about sent me into a panic attack, still getting over it. I know I'm too uptight. Hopefully we'll get into Canada and we'll be together and the fresh northern Alberta air and calmer lifestyle will help me chill.

awor, I am a rookie at this, but have been doing a LOT of reading lately on this and other sites. I guess my anxiety is causing my insatiable hunt for every morsel of information. There are some very knowledgeable people posting in here, I am sure you will get good advice. It seems to me that the financial information is not the most important detail, and your husband is showing a history of employment and earnings in recent history. I hope you will have success with this problem, hang in there. :)

I would call to get the Option C, it only takes a couple of days to receive it. Its better than having them request them for it and wait, as this is needed for first stage approval.

Good luck!

From the CIC site - "Please consult Application Processing Times for information about how long it may take to process your application.

The Client Application Status site is updated weekly, usually on Tuesdays." I guess this means it can be any day.
