the worse thing about this crazy fooked up ordeal is 99.9% of applicants are granted the visas and come to Canada,,,,why just not let them come here at the beginning and if they are rejected just send them packing,,,,they would get a lot less emails from applicants,,,,and everyone would be happier,,,,,this again is to logical and the best solution for everyone,,,,,im just glad that I am near the end,,, I can almost feel my wifes breath on my face, how nice it will be soon to wake up each morning with her beside me,,instead of running to the computer to see a digitized picture of her and hear her voice,,,,too think so many people are just starting this ordeal,,,,some will end up like me sitting waiting for months and years without any answers....GOD BLESS AMERICA a spousal visa is approx. 3 months,,,,,or should I say a fiancé visa,,,they are allowed to go to the staes to get married
