I'm worried that CIC is slipping back into its old ways of the mess with the Feb/March files :'( I want to join the stage 2 club too, ASAP!
This process is difficult for everyone, but I think it adds an extra layer to it all when communication with your significant other is so difficult and expensive - as is the case when your spouse lives in a country like Cuba. I envy everyone who can call their spouse for next to nothing, Skype, instant message, or even have regular email correspondence.
I know each day brings my husband and I one day closer to finally starting our lives together, but as each day passes we miss each other more and more. We keep trying to focus on how wonderful, relieving and exciting it will be when he finally lands in Canada, but it is really challenging to get through the time apart as a married couple.
...And that's enough of my whining for the day. It's been a tough week, but I am going to buck up and think good thoughts throughout the weekend and hope that CIC emerges from its coma next week with a record number or AORs and approvals for April and May applicants. Go CIC, go!
files have safely arrived in Havana for immediate perusal!!!
