Welcome! What's your story?

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!!! I’m so happy to have found this forum it’s all I’ve been talking about to friends and family since I joined a few days ago. I feel more calm to know there’s a great group out there to help and support others in similar situations thank you all for being here!!

I was married to my husband in Mexico in February and our papers were submitted March 23rd. We had a beautiful wedding in Playa del Carmen with all our close family. We were advised we would only be waiting 30 days so were pretty upset when the reality hit it would be 90 days. But from the sounds of it looks like we should be hearing something any time now. I was also advised step 2 should take 6-8months for Mex. I was really thorough with our application I must have sent in a 10lb box filled with photos, plane tickets, skype chats, msn, facebook, phone cards, wedding cards and everything I could think of… I may have over done it but didn’t want to have any regrets.
I am really excited for all of us to be starting our new lives with the ones we love soon!!

Great story! Aren't Mexican men wonderful? Are you of Mexican heritage as well? I'm a white girl who thought corn tortillas were awful because I didn't know you were supposed to warm them. Lol. Now I love them! As well as beans and rice. Such a satisfying meal!

You didn't overdo your application. I just saw approval stats for Mexico and its 85%. So no worries - you just have to survive the wait. Will you be separated during the process?

Hahaha yess I think you summed it up well! I am from Toronto and was born here and I am SOOO happy to be married to a Mexican man!! He is amazing and I have met some wonderful people from Mexico and they have taught me what it really is to live. My husband has been so positive and calm throughout this process and ive been a complete nut job its too funny how different cultures can be but how great he is at making me feel like everything will be ok and everything is meant to be.. as he says.. the better days are coming!!

But yes I am a pure Canadian who attempts to be as Mexican as possible being in Canada lol. Yes we are separated during the process  I try to fly out and visit him as much as my bank account and my work will allow me which unfortunately is not enough!!

We live in California so at least we are together. My husband is a lot more calm about the process too. But he is a little sad to leave even though I know we will have a better life in Canada.

We have a daughter, we call her our MexiCanadian baby. We even got her a onesie made that says "Made in America with Mexican and Canadian parts." It is fun being a pseudo-Mexican. My last name doesn't match me at all! =)

Is your husband from Quintana Roo? My SO's has lived in Cancun for the past 12 years before coming to Canada..we are currently located just outside Toronto. The great thing about here is that there is a big Mexican Community and a lot of Mexican Specialty Shops Have you thought about a visitor visa? My SO is waiting with me here in Canada since being in Mexico wasn't an option for us right now. I love love love being with a Mexican man. He cooks and cleans and opens doors, what a catch Mexican culture has also taught me so much about myself and what it means to truly live.

 

[canadiangirl78]

My husband also cooks and cleans. Not so great a cook but the cleaning is awesome. I have friends with husbands who refuse to do that stuff. Like it is women's work or something. I'd kick him out!

lol I remember being smacked on the back of my head a few times by my dad for not opening the door to a lady when I was a young boy.

As a Mexican I'm flattered to read all these comments, of course we do have our fair share of as$holes, but I'm glad you all found nice husbands (It seems I'm the only guy in here LOL)

Nice story! Better days arARE coming! It is really interesting how all of us Canadian women are stressing while the Mexicans are relaxed, knowing that "better days are coming". I have discovered through this process that I am not a very patient person and our standards of immediate gratification make it hard to adapt to the flow of life in other places...this is my experience anyway. I was living in Mexico with my husband last year and then went back to Canada to wait out the process but I was so depressed I had to come back to Mexico to get through at least 6 months of the waiting. I am going back to Canada to start a new job at the end of the month but I feel better about it now, knowing that we have the majority of the wait behind us. We actually bought a plane ticket for my husband to go with me since there was a great seat sale, we thought we'd take a chance.... HOPEFULLY the PPR will come in the next few weeks and then we can leave together! Cheers to hoping!! Anyway, I definitely agree that this forum is really supportive and I love knowing there are others who are also going through this, and we can share information and experiences...everything from where to find good tortillas in Toronto to any changes made to the PR process. Thanks everyone!

Yes that’s for sure. Honestly I never knew how fortunate I was to be born in Canada until I met my husband and dealing with things over there however, I am so proud to be part Mexican now as well.. well I feel part Mexican.. Although my Spanish is terrible and I certainly don’t look Mexican but I FEEL it! Haha

That is tooooo cute about the onesie!! Love it!! Thanks for sharing more about your story!!

Actually my husband is from Mexico City originally but he is in Playa del Carmen now.. I’m just outside of Toronto actually just north of Toronto. Where are the Mexican specialty shops that you know of? Would love to know them.

We wanted to do a visitor visa but we were told it wouldn’t be granted due to the nature of our relationship and were advised it would be best to stay in our countries until the paperwork was processed. Its been tough L

Haha yes he sounds like a catch! I find they are have great family values and culture and they sure LOVE their women! J yay for us marrying a Mexican guy is truly life changing in an amazing way!!!
