Hello Goodnight Everyone, sorry i have not been online for awhile but i have been lurking in and out of the forum checking up on everyone. my wife was out here visiting me for the past 2 weeks but she is safe and sound back in Canada. so right now im here missing her like crazy but one thing is that i have to thank God for bringing her here to me in Jamaica. i took her on a royal tour of Jamaica this time around because she say that the next traveling is me traveling to Canada.....lol.......the only bad thing that happen is when i was coming back from the airport to drop of the rental car, i was driving in Holland Bamboo and a truck hit one of the bamboo out of the root and the bamboo hit the car in front of me and broke the windscreen......so for me to avoid hitting the car infront of me i sung out of the way to the next side of the street where the oncoming traffic far down the road so i had time do do what i was doing......but since the bamboo was so long it hit the car i was driving and broke the windscreen as well.......the truck driver ran but i caught up to him and brought him to the police....they just took our statement and told us that they will contact us soon........No one was hurt at all thank God.....
God is awesome! Happy to know you are ok Maddants. Also good to know you caught up with that truck driver!
Keep the faith; you will be with wifey soon.

This is now posted on the CIC website:



Alert – Strike Action

The Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers (PAFSO) union is currently taking strike action. PAFSO union members responsible for processing visa applications have been walking out of offices in Canada and overseas.

Posted processing times for both temporary and permanent resident visa applications do not take into account work stoppages.

Anyone applying for a visa should anticipate delays and submit their application as far in advance as possible.

Contingency plans are already in place to ensure all offices remain open and are providing at least a minimum level of service. Priority will be placed on urgent humanitarian applications.

CIC continues to closely monitor the situation.

I am so saddened by the strike threat. I'm in Ja now enjoying time with my husband. I am dreading coming home. It seems practically inhumane for the government to keep families apart for so long. Causing heartache and financial trouble. I don't know how we will manage any more delay. I don't know what to say. How can I stay positive in light of this news?

You know what, I can't even answer you how to stay positive because I am wondering that myself.....we resign ourselves to a 19 month wait (it was only 16 when I put in my app) and now to hear that it may be delayed totally bums me out. It does not say which offices have walked out but I am pretty sure if they are in office, their not working at their hardest. Who are the ones that get punished the most in this process? The spouses who have to be seperated for even longer.......Just keep the faith that God will soon put everything to rights Blessings!

A strike...how horrible..Its bad enough having to wait for our loved ones in the regular wait times, now a STRIKE??? How selfish some people can be...All I can say if for the people that are going through the process including myself, keep the faith and pray that it doesn't happen, and if it does hope that things get straightened out quickly and effectively!!!
