But you guys are not expecting an interview then right?? Or do they do that after PPR?

See Rabat does not issue PPR's... the next step for us is one of a couple options.

1. Call for more proof
2. Call for phone interview
3. Call or letter asking for interview and to bring more proof

Then once those are over they will either refuse or call him to come get his visa. He will simply go to the embassy the day of with his PP and they will stamp it.

im still waiting too for a PPR , although i may not fall under Maybies, I am much earlier my file was processed in April , in Mississauga for sponsorship although I filed end of march >> I I think the Maybies are the coolest bunch so thats why I kinda stuck around and hope the good vibe and good luck charm will also rub in on my process too... So you are not alone Dair...It seems things are slowly but surely moving so I am sure we are getting to the finish line soon..

Haha, how did I know that, right?

Wow, you didn't mail the gift? You should have just given it to your friends to deliver when they went to Morocco (save on postage that way). It sounds like you're a one-task-at-a-time kind of person and you got the gift in advance being organized (very commendable) and then got carried away with other stuff. Totally understandable, given what you have to deal with at the same time.

Wow, a birthday on Halloween?! Nice. That way one has a great birthday no matter what, plus one has an excuse to eat candy.

Well, I did not want to give my friend too much to take because I knew they had a lot of gifts to take and sure enough they were over weight with what they had. I did give them a couple things to take to him but the gift was still hidden in my closet at that time... hahaha

My poor husband ... he is so extraordinarily thoughtful and I am scattered most of the time...LOL I can multi-task to a point... but when I want the job done right.. you are right I am totally focused on one thing. Ah well... we will have many years to come to work on my memory LOL I am hoping with him around to take some of the responsibility off my shoulders I will improve greatly in this area!!


You should see my daughter while trick or treating.. telling everyone it's her birthday.. just in the hope of some extra candy... lol... :

Does everyone have to do this landing "interview" thing? Like what is the point, anyways?

I believe they do ask some questions upon arrival but I don't think it is an "interview" persay. But senior members will have a better idea I am sure.

That's right it's not a formal interview, but for someone going through Buffalo and "landing" by car in Canada, to give an example, he or she will have to bring some papers with him or her and prepare to answer questions, including to verify that s/he is still with his/her sponsor (who can, of course, cancel the sponsorship *up until* the moment of landing.....ooh, the suspense). Some people have reported the border agent going ahead and phoning the sponsor at work while the PA was there at the border. For inlanders, however, there is an "interview" in a true sense to land that they make an appointment for and I believe it's a bit more involved.

True that! Yeah, we dodged a bullet with CPC-M doubling processing time the next month, that's for sure.

I think the Maybies are the coolest bunch so thats why I kinda stuck around

 

[spicymum]

LOL, we have holes in our walls and doors from hitting them with objects (ok, I know what y'all are thinking but we are cool now, I swear!). We even broke this nice Cambodian keychain that was on our neighbor's set of keys that we were holding on to while he was in France and we had to give it back to him like that (cuz, ya know, where are we going to find a replica for a Cambodian keychain?). :-[

LMAO. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Yayyyyy!!

Lol. Dont we just sound like a bunch of teenagers, ecstatic to be called "cool". ;D

 

[ddobro2]

Seriously, this is why it is good to rent when you are newlyweds and THEN buy property when you have been together for a bit!

LMAO. ;D ;D ;D ;D

If a child showed up to my door on Halloween and then added, "it's my birthday today too," I wouldn't know whether the kid was taking me for a ride for extra candy or what!

Awwwww. That is soo cute. Who can resist a cute little candy-seeking-halloween-birthday-girl at their door? Not me!

 

[Eswiz]

Thank you! I am still in shock and not really sure what to do with myself. I shall have to find something else to stress about.

My son's birthday is also on Halloween and that is what he was doing (put up to it my partner shouting from the sidewalk "tell them it's your birthday and ask for more candy!!"). Needless to say that now we are in Canada he loves having his birthday on Halloween as it is such a big deal here. 8)

 

[eeeeeeeelectric]

i'm definetely not PPRd yet. If I were, oh I would have mentioned it.

Still waiting in Washington!

 

[ddobro2]

lol, cute To me, living in Quebec, Halloween is "celebrated" but I think it's less of a big deal here than in the U.S. And Thanksgiving is definitely less of a big deal, by my observation, here, which I really don't like.
