Never mind - just worked it out myself. I'm dumb, and it's early! Nevermind my question - I've got the same status, decision made on the sponsorship which I knew about it. Hurry hurry!!

Morning everyone!

Ladyposh, nice landing story, glad everything got sorted out for your hubby! I think maybe whoever was his Immigration officer at Pearson was tired and had a long day, LOL. : Glad the flagpoling went well and you got everything taken care of there.

Hi Meg, glad you worked that out, but don't ever be shy to ask questions, we're here to help. I hope the twins feel better soon, sick babies are not fun, I can only imagine what that's like times two!

SQ - just to add, the sponsor's ID will always show you both parts of the application, so when KG updates your husband's section of the file, you will be able to see his details along with your own. If you sign in using the applicant's ID, you won't be able to see your details. As lonely_wife mentioned, most times KG does a slack job of updating that side of applications. Maybe they will do better one day, who knows. Give KG about 10-14 days to update that they have received your husband's application, from what I have seen on other threads that is the normal range for VOs.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning!!!

Ladyposh, what a landing story... i guess immigration is not just screwed up in jamaica but also in canada... your hubby must be thinking they are mad lol... but anyways thankfully its all over!!!!! About the day light thing you know my husband thinks the same the one day I was on skype with him and all i hear him say is what time is it?? I said 9 why?? he say well is that the light that make it so bright outside?? I say no babes it will soon get dark... he call over his mom and say look mamma canada bright at night.... lol hahahahhahahahahaha

good morning everyone!!

SQ - as lonely wife said, all you need is your client ID number to log into ecas. You can see the same thing under hubby's file as you would logging into his file using his B#. It will show any and all updates for hubby's file. My husband's B# never ever worked even after he landed. I was able to see everything through my client ID #. KG was not into updating ecas when we went through the process....hubby's file was received in KG on Jun 28/10 and they didn't start processing until Aug 4/10 and the ecas update for that was put on the second week of August. Then nothing until med's rec'd on Dec 22/10 then he got the PP call on Jan 4/11. Looks like they are doing a much better job now updating which is great!! I hope it only gets better for those of you still waiting

ladyposh - thanks for the landing story!! you sound incredibly happy!! welcome to Mr Posh! so crappy that the customs officer screwed up so badly and you had to flagpole...but on the bright side, he's here and he's now a PR Congrats again!!!

 

[ladyposh]

Thanks Charlie, Meg, Lonely and Nae Nae!!!!!

Lonely....that is so funny about your hubby.

Well now the job hunting starts...hoefully he gets something very soon!!!

 

[nae-nae]

ladyposh - my hubby went to a job agency and got some work right away...wasn't steady but was something. You guys may want to consider doing something like that just to get him working quick. It was hard for my hubby to stay home doing nothing in the dead of Winter when he wasn't working. At least it's warmer for your hubby and he won't be locked up inside fearing the cold lol Good luck! I hope he finds something soon!!

funny about it staying light longer.....my hubby hasn't mentioned it yet. Maybe because I told him it would happen and maybe because he arrived in Winter and has gradually gotten used to it staying lighter longer. He definitely didn't like the time change though!!! thinks its absolutely ridiculous lol Most of us don't like it but I sure do like it staying light out longer ... wish we didn't have to turn the clocks back in the Fall

 

[ladyposh]

Thanks NaeNae...we are def., going to try the agency option too until something permanent comes up!!!!

Good morning everyone hope we get some good news today lets go kn


ladyposh love the landing story cant wait to tell mine's

Hi Everyone! Heres to update Tuesdays! Lets get some news today!!

Happy to see the forum alive, welcome all newbies - you guys have found the best place, I was addicted to this site when I was going through this process, and even though hubbies been here for a year and a half I still pop in to see whats going on and hear about more reunions.

Congrats ladyposh! Hubby got work shortly after he landed as well through an agency. I made him a resume, set him up a email address and then set him up on www.monster.ca www.workopolis.com (you can leave his resume up there and people can search him without him having to even look on there)

I personally think www.jobbank.gc.ca is the best job site out there. My hubby has got every one of his jobs on that site.

He also went to YMCA. He took some classes on how to build a resume (even though I did one for him) how to use the internet, how to do a job interview etc etc.

I am sure you are fully aware about all this stuff already but I thought I would just shout it out anyways.

Well, I hope everyone is doing well.

Over half way there till you meet you little princess Nae Nae.

On my end, Tiana turned 2 months yesterday. Her new things are sleeping in her own crib in her own room (started Sunday night and so far so good) She can now hold her head up for a good amount of time. She chats NUFF. She can follow an object. and she is finding her hands - oh and her thumb. She loves to suck her thumb, we are trying to break her out of that habit and give her a soother but when no one is looking she loves to suck on that thumb lol.

 

[ladyposh]

thanks for the info KC416....this will def. be helpful in our search for work!!!

welcome Mr Posh! glad everything got sorted out with the landing, that was a big mess up... maybe they've been taking lessons from kingston?? seems he brought some good weather with him, tell him THANK YOU!

i remember my husband cursing the long days over in London... it's not as bad here and he's been desensitized, so we only have to listen to the kids complain that they can't go to bed if it's not dark... They're old enough now to understand the seasonal day lenghts so i tell them, okay you can stay up until it's dark now, but come december/january you have to go to bed as soon as it gets dark too heheheh they didn't think that was a fantastic idea somehow lol...

warn him now that in the dead of winter, the coldest days are usually the sunny ones! that's always a big shocker too, but at least he'll be eased into winter

i agree with the agencies... my husband got a job thru one that turned into a full-time job that he's already been given a couple of promotions thru....

hey nae, kc, charlie, kedeisha, lonely, proper and everyone else i'm missing!

 

[ladyposh]

thank you Chelley... i will def. pass on your well wishes to Mr. Posh. Also thanks for all your great suggestions and advice!!!!

Good morning forum family, I trust everyone is in good spirits and health. Congrats and welcome to CA Mr Posh, your mis-adventure will help remind those about to land to double check thier paperwork, we had the wrong address on ours as well and was returned to CIC. We contacted them andf they sent it to the proper one.
