So quiet today ladies...... :(
Hubby went to get his PRE today, the lady told him to come back mañana.... Oh how I love cuba.
Now the everything is done with, this seems to be the hardest and longest 3 weeks of our whole time together!!! Lol.
Hubby keeps calming me down, and reminding me how wonderful the Cuban government can be, not only the PRE but also the paperwork with selling the house etc etc.
it will all be fine in the end, but I'm a hard head and I had a specific date in my head for him to arrive, and that may not happen now....so frustrating but it's out of our hands!!!

KJG, sounds like a great day for Yoani, hope he had a great day.

Hope to hear some good news from everyone this week!

Yes....I know exactly what you mean Shuster2210 about the date in your head...LOL......I am sure the pre will be ready today and then hopefully the house issues can be dealt with......are you booking the flight as soon as he has his pre or are you waiting for the property issues to be done as well......still a good chance for your December 3rd date if the planes don't fll up!!!

Yoani got his SIN card yestereday!! Exactly one week after he applied!!!

I think you should have the notes by then if you order today. If it is getting close to your departure date then come up with a back up plan for someone here to check for you and and get them sent down....

No news. I think this week too. I know they have the file b/c Sunday I remembered that they give him UCI for the Temp Visa request....so I punched that in and it shows his name and Perm Residence Application Received Oct 11. I did not include the UCI# in the Application b/c he had previously signed the form before we applied for the Visitors Visa....so for sure they have been through our app to be able to link his name to that UCI. Also, they other few people on the OCt spreadsheet on Oct 11 & 12 appear to be still waiting. When they get something and I do not THEN I will freak out!!! LOL Anyways....I am just sitting here waiting to go into labor anyways...so I have other things to distract me.

Avana....do you watch CFL??? Amazing how our Argos beat your Allouettes!!! I was surprised!!!! LOL Cannot wait for Sunday's Grey Cup...I have never seen the Argos in a grey cup game since I started watching football about 8 years ago!!

Hope so! its cutting it one day short! but ill take what i can! If theres already an update on ecas for SURE you`ll get smthg this week! maybe even today! :) Thanks for updating me on the SS by the way!

No i dont really watch CFl, but I SHOULD because my best friend growing up and neighbor too plays for Calgary, and I have another friend who plays for the Als... lol but i end up rooting for calgary in the end! I did watch when calgary came to montreal to play for the grey cup tho! that was an intense game because my friend was coming home to play against his home town!I used to go to games pretty often but havent in a cpl yrs! Ya Have to say you dont hear about the argos making it too far lol but i guess this year its them against Calgary! Uh oh, are we now in a rivalry?? :-\ hahaha

Ladies who've had an interview: how long did it take for Ecas to update your interview date? I know its early for it to show up, but is it the type of thing that might not show up at all like the 'in process'?
