HI EVERYBODY!!!!-- Landing story for Mr. CanJam110412

HUBBY IS HERE!!! It feels like a dream. A dream that has finally come true.

Our journey has been a great one.
64 months of long distance dating
3 months to plan a wedding
17 months to get a Canadian Visa
13 months and 6 days since we last saw each other
November 12,2014 as Husband and Wife.............Timeless.

Seeing him come down the hallway was so surreal at the airport. I had the biggest smile on my face and to see his light up was priceless. I will never forget that moment. I don't know what was worse the 17 months of processing or the 1 hour of waiting for him to come through immigration in Canada.

All we could do was hug each other and kiss up a little...... hubby doesn't like too much PDA lol. I didn't know what to do first. I asked if he was hungry....said no.... two min later we need food. I couldn't eat at all yesterday I was soooo excited. Our gourmet meal consisted of burger king.... ill make sure I will cook him a home cook meal tonight.

My (Our) condo smells like Jamaica and hubby. It was so nice to go to bed and its warm. To many cold nights to remember. But that is now gone. I think I have a permanent smile on my face for the next week. Hubby is unpacked and settling in. I'm so excited for the future and I've been truly blessed up to this point in our lives. I cant wait to see what the next chapter brings.

Thank you for the support through this process. I wish those in process a quick one.

Mr. and Mrs. CanJam110412
One Love, Cheers
Such a lovely landing story CanJam110412! Wishing you both an amazing life together as it starts truly as a couple in Canada! Plesae keep in touch and let us know how things are going. He is lucky to have such a loving wife. Oh and he is just in time for snow and cold...lol!

Welcome / Bienvenue to Canada Mr. CanJam110412!!!

P.S. Love that your condo "smells like Jamaica". Can't wait to experience that ;D

Hi good morning,

COncerning finger prints and RCMP you should take a look on this link : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=857&t=25
It mentionned : If you have lived in Canada for more than 6 months after the age of 18, a background check may be automatically conducted with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). If your name has a 50% or more match in their data base, the RCMP may request fingerprints in order to confirm your identity. So mi I think I would be proactive and do it before they request it.

Concerning the baby, me I would send another form Additional Family Information form IMM 5406 by email http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5406E.pdf and add the information with my new kid. Apparently it is not a good idea to send more proofs of Relationship like pictures and trips details. So in your email just ask them if they need the original of the form or other documents and if yes to advise you. That is what I would do.

So I hope this help ! :)
Congrats for the new baby :)
Thank you for the advice MelJam. I will check out the links as well.
Yea, I'm excited, my first child :D

Congrats to THOR and CBLGR!!! So happy for you guys

Mrs Parkin - start looking for flights - hubby will be home soon, very soon

And I haven't had the change to catch up on everything yet as I am just getting back to work and have time on my hands. if I have forgotten anyone I am sorry and congrats

Well....hubby is settling in very well. We got a lot done the past few days. He possibily has a job and we will know more on Satuday. He is very excited. He loves our apartment, the area we live in and really likes the city. He's been cold but has said it hasn't been that bad....he has no idea whats to come. Today is his FIRST day alone with Naylah ever and I am a little stressed out but I know everything will be okay. She hasn't left his side since he's been here and it was like they were never apart. I love watching when together.

To everyone thats waiting....I can't explain to you the feelings that you will have but I will tell you that the HUGE weight of this whole immigration process is gone and it was like it never happened. It is not something I wish upon anyone at all but for the love we share it was worth all the tears, arguments and stress. I am happy this is all over with and we can start with our lives as a family. I really hope all of you hear something soon and your spouses are here with you.

MelJam. The way it's going october/November we might be hearing good news as well :)
We all know how things slow down in dec/jan (usually) but with POS working fast. Gives me hope. For once hadn't had hope in a very long time. Told myself not to expect anything b4 my 1 year mark which is dec 11.

Ballasgirl mine went to "In Process" as well which I noticed on Monday but when go to the "in process" tab in cic it says that my file is being reviewed as of Nov 6th. In the past when we say "in process" it seemed to mean that they sent out communication, but now it just seems to mean that they are working on our files. I haven't received anything from POS yet, but am IMPATIENTLY waiting. OMG this wait is worse than the past year of waiting! LOL! Good luck and keep us posted!
