Sept 24 sounds like a plan! For those who use Twitter we have to think about a topic, not sure who mentioned it but I like the #canadaproud, just a little bit sarcasmcivic said:
and cic, ministers are using it too ;D
It is a stupid rule that inland applicants have to stay in Canada during the processing. However that said, Canada is not stopping you from leaving for a couple of weeks. Just be aware of the risks involved in doing that. Canada is not holding the inland applicants hostage per say. But they do discourage them from leaving Canada temporary even for a couple of weeks.3september2013 said:
I know our lawyer has told us going by car is usually a lot easier, just because they get a lot less traffic flow at the less populated areas and are a bit more easy going. While I was still on my visitor visa, we drove down to the US to get married, then came back up through Prescott (coming to Ontario from New York) and there was very little traffic and the guards were very laid back and easy going. As a comparison, when I came up to Canada the first time, the border security agents in the Toronto airport looked overworked, overhassled, and very mean. I had some trouble dealing with the agent I was given and it has given me nightmares about going to airports now. If it's feasible for you to do, crossing by land is much easier. The only reason we were attempting to fly, my family is in Georgia, and my husband was afraid that our winter tires would be ruined in the very mild winters of the southeastern US.3september2013 said:
Hi civic,civic said:
hey DaizeyDaizey said:I think the biggest frustration I have right now (sadly I think I've given up on hoping for a work permit anytime soon), is I don't even know if I'll be able to land at this rate before Christmas. Ever since we started the application, my dream was to visit my family back home for the holidays this year, as it's always a big deal with my family. On top of that, my best friend is getting married on December 13th, and she wants me to be in the bridal party, but how am I supposed to say for sure I can make it when I have no idea if we'll even land before the year is over? Even a couple of months ago, I was SURE that this whole thing would be over way before December. Now I'm not so sure, and it's killing me. We want to buy plane tickets, but if I'm not allowed to leave the country, we'll be out another $1000. All of this has added on top of the frustration of not being able to work and the amount of debt we're going even further into. I think I've just given up hope at this point. They've broken me.

You're welcome to your opinion, but who decided it's okay for you tell other forum members what they should post on here?screech339 said:
But...you just said that screech was welcome to his opinion. Doesn't that, in and of itself, constitute voicing that opinion, which you have deemed to be him telling other members what THEY should (or should not) post here?fugaziosbourne said:
I am only merely pointing out that I think those who have already passed their expected timeline deserves more pressing support than those who just submitted their application. Don't you agree?fugaziosbourne said:
Good luck with your facebook page. Hope it gets noticed and get the process moving.civic said:
I'm 3-4 months over the timeline at this point and I'm fine with him being angry about this process being broken and taking forever. He'll be in the same boat the rest of us are in soon enough.screech339 said:
