Heyy JamFam,
I haven't been around lately, just popping in to say Congrats to those who have hubbys and wifeys joining them recently or in the near future. I know it can be a long emotional process but it is sooo worth it in the end. Hubby and I are still adjusting to the changes and loving each moment we get to spend with one another. He is soo over joyed that he can be with me and has been so helpful with the home chores. He has cooked, cleaned and spent a lot of time adjusting with living permanently with me, vis versa. I am happy for those who have recently gotten PPRs and DM and keep the faith for those still waiting. From my knowledge and experience (for new comers and existing ones). A breakdown of the process:
1st step- Sponsorship approval
approx. 30-65 days
Day 30-40 you get AOR (Acknowledgement of Receipt)
Day 40-65 you get SA (Sponsorship Approval)
2nd step- Permanent Resident
approx. 5-12 months after SA
5months into processing- Initial review (ask for pr fee and additional documents)
10-12MONTHS INTO PROCESSING- PPR
11-13MONTHS- PP GIVEN BACK
YEARS AND YEARS OF HAPPINESS AFTER THAT!! ;D ;D ;D
