Dear everyone,
After 8 long weeks of waiting, I finally received my passport and immigration documents today. Visa was dated May 13, 2011 and issued last August 12, 2011.
In between waiting and agony, patience and perseverance, I found myself asking what could've been wrong since I have received my documents beyond normal processing times. I even inquired to CHC London and Abu Dhabi the status of my case and they replied that my case is in the process of visa issuance and will be delivered soon but I was not given an explanation as to the delay and it even gave me more concerns because those who have sent their passports along with my submission date has already received their's and mine was semmingly put on hold. Ways and means to check the status of one's application does not necessarily rely on on-line e-cas, case comparison and contrast to other applicants, timeline and etc for there are other innate factors that are beyond our control. However, I am grateful that this forum is helpful in a way for information dessimination and encouragement thus, lifting a member's morale and spirit's high. But ultimately to believe that our application is finalized is when we have our visas stamped in our passports.
Bottomline, it was all worth it. When I have nothing to turn to, I just prayed and trusted God that He will surely make it happen for me and He did. The agony and sleepless nights, the anxieties and paronoia has diminished this day. And glory be to God for that.
I would like to thank senior members as I always send them pm's and they never hesitated to reach out to me - Biju, Qorax and most especially SATDXB - all you guys has contributed to materializing my hopes.
The journey has not ended, yet this is just the start to embark on the real challenge ahead. Thank you and CANADA, we are..
Ton
