Can anybody help me with creating a Thread for Feb 2014 Outland applicants? I don't know anything about the spreadsheets but I am willing to do it :D

Hope you all are doing very well. Thanks for all your help and support.

Hiya Belle!

just go to the main Family sponsorship thread here: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/family-class-sponsorship-b5.0/ and simply clik on NEW TOPIC on the upper right hand corner of the sheet.
When the new topic page appears copy and paste this line of text in the subject line:February 2014 OUTLAND (only) applications!! Here is your thread!!

In order to maintain a thread you must also start a Spreadsheet as well (let me know if you need help on this too). Mind you if you are thinking to create one for Rome users there is no need because there are not too many Rome applicants anyway :)

Regards

Tom

Oh wow! The spreadsheet looks like a lot of work! I just wanted to track other Feb 2014 applicants so we could commiserate together. I see Rome is moving quickly so I am not concerned about that. I just want to see how things progress for folks who applied at the same time as me. I'm pretty much the only person left for Rome still waiting for an answer now ;D

From your timeline i see you applied just now! My daughter and son in-law have applied in December and there files are already in Rome. Your case will fly through.
It is hard to maintain a comparison of processing for different VO's. I know first hand as I am a member of Feb 2013 thread.. Truth is the monthly threads help the applicants to go through the hardship of waiting for SA and after that they disappear to different local VO threads.

It' really up to you!

Great! We are very fortunate to be going through a good VO. Too bad you chose Vienna :p But you seem to be a pro at this! I just enjoy seeing all the success stories on various threads :)

Are you at least living with your spouse? How about your daughter? Are they at least together?

We had no choice but to....choose Vienna. I should say it chose us because although I am Greek-Canadian my wife is Macedonian. And FYRO Macedonia applicants are handled by Vienna. Yes we live in Greece together.

My daughter and her husband are also living in Greece. They are planning to move to Canada as soon as their apps are approved

Tell your daughter to join the forum! It's very lonely here on the Rome thread. And if she applied in December, I'd love to know how quickly things are being processed. I am the only one still waiting at this time and I need some encouragement :)

Any news on your end?

Now I know why people go crazy on here. I was prepared to wait 1 year for my husband to join me. Then you see people getting their PRs within 3 months and it makes you crazy! 1 week and 1 day is nothing but yet I feel like it has been forever!
