I applied as an extended family member to visit my long distance partner (we've seen each other 2 months in the 1.5 years). I already have a TRV and my sister is in Concordia already and I will be starting PhD there in January. I sent in the form and the email with all the requirements on the 13th of October. Waiting for a reply, I live currently in Lebanon and life here is starting to take a toll on me, all I want is to stay with my partner in a safe and calm country. Goodluck everyone, will update on the approval (or rejection) once I get it.
