but you say immigration canada is slow because of that and NO thats not true,
i didn't say that actually.. let me elaborate a little

what I meant was basically they fraud and we end up paying by the sense that we have to give so much evidence, im not complaining because obviously if the relationship is genuine you have no problem providing such informationg however its such a hassle, running from place to place*going to get the medical exam at AUB...not easy I went with my husband the first time.. you get so lost !! you ask help they tell you to go there its not the right spot then you remain lost.. dont know how it is for you guys in other countries but ya AUB.. wouldnt recommend it lol *, person to person for translation, asking for help all over but all the answers seem hopeless, wasnt easy ill tell you that.


I dont know how long it took you to get your file put together but for my husband and I it took us a good 3-4 months ! I came back from lebanon in end of july 2010 and started with the papers then.. and kept checking everyday to make sure nothing is missing and when something was i had to call my husband he has to go get that paper, translate it... find someone whos coming to canada somewhere and mail it with them to avoid spending 100$ to send a paper to canada.. moving on with phonecalls i used to use calling cards then found out I couldnt so had to find a way to print skype calls, then went to comwave so I can get an actual bill and send it.. whwat else.. pictures.. i sent half our pics because i didnt want them to be like sorry we need more prroooof so im excited for all this to be over so I can get back all these personal pictures that belong to us....what elseeeeeeeeeeeeee

anyways maybe thats a lack from our side that we dont know everything about this process but it defenitely wasnt easy and still is not.. i guess i just like complaining to this forum rather than to my husband lol :)

Alhamdulilah all that has passed and now the somewhat easy part of just waiting is remaning!

Amazing!!!!!!!!! :D

Btw, I want my husband to go to the Damascus embassy and ask them questions, he wont lose anything, right? It's only a two hr drive from where he is. Should he go? It's going to be 7 months next week and still no RQ, nothing!

We are getting close to 7 months as well and my husband keeps telling me he wants to go to the embassy to ask questions.... he would be going from Iran. I would have thought we would get RQ by now too:( I would be tempted to drive the two hours in hopes of getting some answers!!! especially since they haven't answered our email that was sent about a month ago! Hope u get some answers if he decides to go:)

thanks nagz2207,

I remember reading it some where in the forms that from Iran they need original marriage certificate. But nonetheless, if we don't get our original back, will just request for a new one. (it just wont be a booklet, it will be a piece of paper)
