Yes hopefully they do. It's unfortunate you had to send several documents instead of just one. Which email worked for you?

I was saying the same thing to myself. Honestly it's a generic fill in the blank email. But I guess since they've been pretty good at updating eCAS for me they figure I don't need an email (trying to make sense of nonsense).

Trust me I miss my husband like crazy. And it's true the more I go visit and come back the more intensely I miss him. Sometimes I feel to deliberately miss my flight and stay. I can't wait to go back home, hopefully by the time I get to he'll be able to come home with me. I know our hubbies will be here sooner than we think. It's just a matter of getting through these last hurdles. Enjoy the Christmas holidays, life's too short to let our joys pass us by. Might as well pass the time with laughter while we earnestly wait
Its so hard being apart i understand ur pain i just came ba k two weeks tomorrow and i am getting so fustrated with this process and watching the news dont help with all the refugee coming over dont get me wrong i dont care but hey how about letting my husband come too so we can have a life with our family.......its very draining i miss him like crazy and tobe honest dont know when i will return back 8 trips in under twoyears money is running out i guess they want me in the poor house before he comes

Wow! 8 times in less than two years I wish I could travel that often.

It is hard to watch others get through before us. I just remind myself that they had to wait fearing for their lives. At least it's relatively peaceful for me while I wait. However, I feel that the whole 6-9mos (and more) at Kingston is unnecessary especially if all your records are clean and provided upfront. It doesn't take that long to process a visitors visa so really they can do things much quicker.

Your hubby will be coming soon. Don't get too sad, we're all in this together.

I've been blessed that I've been able to travel back more frequently than most but joke around with hubby that with all the money we will save from me not having to travel would be a years tuition I'm trying to keep my chin up, it's harder when you are by yourself and just encounter one of those moments when u real want him with you ( I was struggling to open a jar the other day, reach something on the high shelf :( )... It will feel like time is going really slow til he comes, but I'm thankful at least that I found him.

Jamaicanadian, I see on ecas they started my processing on December 9 as well. What area of canada are u in, if u don't mind me asking.

Hey Canjamdiva,

I know the feeling. I miss hubby most when I'm driving alone at night or when I go to different functions and people ask about my husband and "when is he coming to Canada?" To which I want to reply "do I look like CIC, how would I know?" when I'm really in my feelings. I know I haven't been long distance as long as others but I'm over it 4 years is enough for me.

Trust me travelling is money especially when you're going home to be with family. I had to hold off on seeing hubby so we could get things in order I don't want to be unprepared when it's time for him to be here. Hopefully I'll get to go again in a few more months maybe during reading week or end of next semester.
You have the right attitude. It is awesome that you found him and you'll have an amazing today, tomorrow and forever together...hang tight!

Thanks for sharing your processing date now I feel better. I guess it's safe to say our applications were transferred around the same time. To answer your question, I am in Toronto, Ontario. How about you?

Oh got to loooooove those questions. I have to say that having to explain hubby's absence over and over saddens me along with the frustration when People tell you useless advise like" oh, don't you know someone at the VO?"...."oh I know a person who got through in 3 months" , " oh, how come you can't just go live there", "oh how come he can't just come visit"... And the best... " oh, the seems like a lot of work, I hope he's worth it"

... If I didn't think he and our life together were worth it, I wouldn't have married him and be going through all this hassle... Dorks. Anyhow, I'm in Toronto as well jamaicanadian , inbox me if you would like to chat some more or maybe have a pity party some time while we wait...

Honestly! Thank God for this forum. I don't feel like I'm so weird when I say things like this. It helps to know others in the situation have the same feelings. I know outsiders mean well but it's like really my relationship is only different from any other good relationship because of distance. I've dated men here that were not even half the man my husband is. If a relationship is going to be bad it's going to be bad regardless of distance. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)

people bright nuh true?! Trust me one of my own friends was like "we'll see how long that lasts" when I mentioned hubby and I were engaged (after dating for 2 years). I think some people are just jealous/badmind and some really mean well but have "foot-in-mouth" disease- say too much or in the wrong way. Regardless, all of us in this boat keep it moving and we press toward our finish line. It doesn't matter what anyone has to say they're not in our marriages so we just pardon there insolence and let them watch us thrive. I hope the best in life for all of us.

It takes forever for the ecas to get updated. Don't stress over it too much. My husband landed on Nov 2 and it still says in process....

(Sigh) I miss being with him so much , usually I take a couple weeks to start getting really miserable and antsy from missing him but this time it started 2 days after I got home... This waiting is getting more and more difficult , I find I don't want to do anything, haven't put up a tree a light not even a bow for xmas... When he gets here I told him he's not allowed being more than 10ft from me ... To answer your question jamaicanadian ( cause I can get distracted so easily... ) I received an email that my sponsorship application was approved and the file transferred to Kingston on November 27. I see very little on my ecas currently, my SA communication isn't even listed there. if they emailed you your AOR seems like they would be able to send your SA...

Hey ladies.. Sorry I haven't been around much, adjusting to the baby and our new life has been busy.

Feeling very down today. Between the hormones and missing my husband it's been hard. I am slowly trying to get things together to send down to him to take in before the end of the month. Still can't believe they want even more documentation that we have a genuine relationship. Went down today and paid for express service on our sons birth certificate.

I keep saying to my husband that if they were going to deny him at interview they would have just done that, not asked for more. Does anyone have an opinion on this??? Trying to be strong and confident but it's so stressful to be having to Think about this on top of adjusting to motherhood...

Afternoon everyone. Sorry I havent been on much lately. Just getting things done before xmas!

Sara, I think if they were to deny him they would have done so already. I think the birth certificate will definitely help.

Ladies (and gents), you will soon end your waiting journey! Im praying for you all. Someone told me that Id soon forget all that time that I was waiting, and its true. Your spouses will soon be with you, and the next stage of your lives will start.
I cant wait to hear more news, come on Kingston VO!
