Hi guys.
My husband recieved an email today asking him to fill out the "Residency Questionnaire". I think this is standard precedure. Am I right?

 

[rola_S]

hi all
for rola you can log in to the website of the immigration, they will update you if they started already to work on your application, even before you receive the letter that indicate it.

And for Azadehkhanoom, yes all of us have received the Residency Questionnaire.

take care.

Hi
Today I received a reply for our last inquiry, it took them 13 days to reply and same as always it is one of their "Robotic" messages;

"Please be advised that your client's application is in queue for review by the responsible officer. When a decision is made or we require any additional information or documents, you or your client will be contacted."

 

[arachir]

Dear Eli
I think it is good base on their sequence of decision,you passed BC and now just waiting for final decision.I think they will inform you soon.

 

[geminibella]

How's all my Damascus applicants doing ? Hows the wait going for you ? What are you doing in order to keep your mind off things or to keep yourself busy ?

As for myself.. brutal.. I can say all I do is school, work, and talk to my husband. Even while at school I'm not doing so well because of the distance apart from my husband affecting me. So sad to see my grades go down since I was doing super good in College.. Now in University a whole different way of doing things.. I can say I hate it. Sometimes I just want to quit school and just work and make money but everyone tells me not to give up it will pay off in the long run.. Inshallah !

 

[iman773]

Dear Omid,


Would you please tell us why your case has taken long time. Why there is a huge time gap between starting Damascus and Doc. request? What types of documents they asked you to send?


Dear Eli,

I really don't know what is going on in Damascus. Some new applicant get their RQ after starting processing in Damascus. There in no rational rule for their activity. So, what was your previous inquiry? Was it the same as last one?

 

[kamal225]

hello all and welcome to our new friends,
Thanks guys for updating the list and for new sisters and brothers for joining our group
what was your question my dear geminibella ? in addition to school and work and paying lawyer fees well we do cry laugh hope for a better tomorrow
stay on the phone or internet for hours and hours asking for the million time what are officers doing when final decision will be hopefully cic general manager refused cic staff vacation for holidays and new year ( must final decisions be made for our list with a letter welcocme to canada mailed to us all before any cic staff go for vacation )same way my wife's manager refused her vacation to come see me and only have 7 days off inluding one day to come one day to go back same night towork so i will see her for 5 days onlyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
so we do cry work hard to pay for flight and many other bills
dont quit school no way this is your weapon for life how do you know what tomorrow will bring aim big nice degree study hard keep your mind on the future and you will feel good take a break after studying and then study again and good luck
by the way my wife still go to school even she has university degree and 2 college medical degree and she is still updating courses and training which will make life in canada easier
good night everyone and hopefully tomorrow will bring better news

eli, dont worry i got same message 2 months ago waiting in que but for you it is different they will issue visa inshallah around new year before medical expire best warm wishes to you and all

 

[rola_S]

Hi all,

thank you kamal for your very good advice for geminibella, girl you shoul have you own life, personality, degree and career,

all of us miss their partners but it doesn't mean that we should stop here and do nothing, you husband will have it sooner or later so

think now about yourself and how to improve it. you will have a family soon, you should be helpful to them and when you study now

and work hard you won't feel the time and you will be doing something for yourself.

i am waiting also but i already got my bachelor and master's degree and now i am improving my english language

by taking courses.
so good luck geminibella like we say in lebanese language fakry la b3yd fakry mni7

 

[eli1985]

Dear Iman;
I think RQ is just a piece of paper to postpone the whole process, they just send it to all the applicants. They will send it either at the beginning of the process or after 4-5 months to imply that we are working on your case.I think its nothing important about it, in all the froms we already mentioned so many things and all of the sudden they ask again are you a Canadian citizen or pr, what is your asset in Canada?when was the last time you have traveled outside Canada?? it is ridiculous.
My lawyer send both the inquiries with the exact body,to the same recipient, they didn't answer the first one(13Oct), but they answered 11 Nov. Their reply doesn't suggest anything new or important.

Dear Kamal,
Thanks for your comment, You and I, are exactly in the same position and I 'm not so happy about the medical. The least important thing for them is medical exam expiry, they can simply ask you to redo it. My lawyer believe this reply shows nothing, we are not even sure if the security check is finished because they don't mention anything about it. As you said you have received such a reply 2 months ago, and still no news.I don't know what should we do, I'm not so positive about the holidays either,I doubt anyone works during that time.Anyways we have to wait, hopefully tomorrow we have some good news.

Dear Geminibella;
Stay strong and positive. This situation is just temporary at the end what remains for you is your studies and you job. Don't quit your studies, In Canada in order to improve you have to have some degrees. Here getting a good job is like a battle between immigrants and Canadian. In order to survive you have to work hard and study hard.Try to talk to your husband everyday, use video chat and..... Try to be positive if one of you is emotionally strong try to help the other one. Don't lose your hope and I'm certainly agree with Rola_S , "You should have you own life, personality, degree and career", along with your marriage life.

Dear Arachir;
Thanks for your message, I hope you will receive the good news very soon hopefully before your medical expiration.

Dear Rola_s
Thanks for your beautiful message, I enjoyed it so much.

 

[geminibella]

Thank you for the great advice Kamal, Rola and Eli. It is hard and I won't quit although so many times I just want to give up but then I find myself always getting up and doing what I have to do by persevering. Thank you to all once again and times are rough and hard but yallah allah bi3 3eena.

And Rola, it's funny you said Fakry la b3eed w fakry mnee7... My husband always tells me that lol !! Thanks again

xoxo

 

[rola_S]

hi all you are most welcome geminibella and Eli

Every time i feel really down, i think that i am not the only one in this situation and that's really help me a lot

i know that we will be all soon with our partners but it needs time and patience

Good luck all
