Just waiting on some translations and we should be ready to mail. Doing outland, I am in Ontario while my wife is in Brazil...it was a real pain to leave her. I really wish they had a process started before getting married to prove the relationship, so that you could just get a stamp once married instead of this waiting apart game, where they wont let her come here. I find this real backwards...just my opinion and frustration.

I cant seem to be able to access spreadsheet.

Yeah my fault just meaning that lol.
I hope everything comes through for you fast and that your wife will be with you soon.
Keep me updated

@essex

My visa office will be New Delhi..

Thank you

I was just wondering how you guys managed to mail it with express post ? Mine is around 1 kg with 3 separate envelopes that I am planning to put in one express mail envelope. Do express mails accept this much weight ?

 

[essex0227]

I am in the UK and at the post office i did it Global express.
The weight was 0.6 kg and it cost £53 so quite a lot of money but so worth getting it there before the weekend

 

[kuku]

ya its pretty expensive.. but it is worth..

How come you applied from UK ? are you a Canadian Citizen ?

 

[kuku]

and thanks for updating me on spread sheet...

Sending mine out this month. Been a small nightmare getting everything sorted. Sending it from inside Canada but have had to send off a work permit application at the same time so I can continue working in the interim. Cannot face another few months of no work!! Although staying in throughout the whole of winter would have been a dream come true!

 

[essex0227]

Welcome uk2canada10 i know what you mean about getting the things together, sort of drove us mad lol.
Just wondering what visa office you are going with so i can update thanks
@kuku My husband is a canadian citizen and im british, he is also a british citizen so he is here with me then we will all move to canada together.

@essex

Sounds great !!!

yes I agree...it has been a quite stress full time for us...collecting all documents, making sure nothing is being missed... it was all i cant even put in words now...but I am happy today..the day has arrived and I am ready to mail my application.

and Count down starts now.. Staying away from each other is also painful.. my visa office has mentioned processing time of 6 months...so next 6-7 months are going to be very critical..

thanks essex!
My wife is American my birth, Canadian by descent. I was born in the United Arab Emirates, Pakistani by descent. We're in Karachi presently, so our visa office will be Islamabad I suppose. I going to be asking a lot of newbie questions, so I hope that doesn't bother anyone..
