Thanks behopeful,

Well we were naive to believe that he would get a visitor visa until they refused him. Just didnt know much about thr process to be honest.The baby really came as a suprise. Then everytime we would be prepared to file the sponsorship something would come up. Just a long story really. But i was mentally prepared to go through this birth alone. Now with my husband getting depressed that he wont be here and everyone asking questions...it's just hitting me hard. Really cant blame anyone but ourselves for filing late.

Gmorning POS.
millslu do they know who sent the withdrawal letter? That is really scary.

Well i've been MIA. Just having a bit of a breakdown. Due to give birth anyday now and my husband will not be here for it. I know many ppl have gone through it but it doesnt change the fact that ut hurts. And having evrryone ask me if he is going to be here for the delivery...knowing full well that he wont doesnt help either. I prob shouldnt complain since there r ppl waiting for way longer than me but that's my vent for the year!

fromadistance, I'm so sorry that your husband won't be with you for the birth of your baby. A friend of mine is sponsoring her huband and he was not able to be at the delivery either but they did Skype the birth. It was incredible that he could be with her in some sort of way if not in person. I thought I would let you know incase it is at all possible for you to do this. If it's something you're interested in, please speak with your doctor and see if it is available at the hospital. Good luck!

Thanks neveeha,

That would be great. What hospital was thus?Well i inquired but the hospital is so strict. They
hardly want you to bring in your phone to the ward. No wi-fi is allowed!

 

[millslu]

yes @fromadistance you should skype the birth or even oovoo as long as you have a strong wifi signal you can get those apps on your smart phone quite easily.

@zouk my wife an i are super conservative ppl, we have a handful of friends that is why i can quickly pinpoint who the person is, because she is the only one with my uci number and she is a wicked person, am not saying that because she is my ex now, but according to cic helpline they don't need much to withdraw you application, all they need is a signature, they might say they need uci number for both partners, but nooo aas long as they see a signature the lazy officers wont even double check the signature or even call to verify nothing, so i keep calling back and fourth and they said there is no extra security they can give me for that not to happen again. now we are thinking what else can this woman do, so we try our best to remove our information online so its not easily accessible through cic, plus we are emailing them to beef up the security, maybe input some new or more question to ask, and hope that they learnt from their mistakes and next time check more thoroughly, with so much fraud going around am still surprise that they just took the letter as is and didn't even query it.

now my wife and i dont even have a way to check our status, we disable e-cas so right now we just going to wait for a letter or email, according to the forum emails or letter comes before e-cas updates. hope am right

It was done at a hospital in Manitoba and I'm sure they have strict guidelines too so all you can do is explain your situation. If it's not a hazzard to other patients or if it won't interfere with the procedure they may just allow it in this instance.

 

[fromadistance]

Wow millslu some people 'mayshastay' eh!
No worries she probably thought she would be hurting you but she actually did you a favor because now someone will def look into your file and get things moving fot you.

 

[fromadistance]

Nev, I'll explain to them.
Thanks for looking out.

 

[millslu]

[millslu]

lol have you heard that one "papishow" lol?@fromadistance

 

[fromadistance]

Lolll oh yeah...

POS have us like papishow lol

 

[Behopeful]

Fromadistance... We were very naive too in thinking we could send in our application anytime, even though my husband was without status. I kick myself everyday for it now. We would always start a little in the application and end up getting side tracked. Oh well. Memories of the past now. What country is your husband from? Do you plan to visit with the baby when you are well and baby is a little older?

I would really try and Skype the experience. Talk with your doctor or midwife. Usually they are understanding. All the best!

By the way... Do you know if you're having a boy or girl?

 

[MissDominica]

Awe honey, you have every right to complain. Of course you knew that he probably would not be here with the timeline but it does not make it any less hard. I understand what you mean about people asking you things like that and making it worse. People ask me all the time how hubby is and I say great and they say "Oh, so how's he liking Canada"... I have to explain that hes still not there and our whole life is messed up til he is.. and then it makes me sad to think about it.. People just don't GET it. But we do and we'll be here for ya.

Any plans to visit hubby after the birth and take baby? or do you plan to wait until he gets here? I know he wishes he could be there and there's nothing to say to make it easier...

Hugs! If u need to talk, I'm here.

 

[fromadistance]

Thanks sent u a PM.

Expecting a beautiful baby girl ;D. She really keeps me going through all this stress!

 

[MissDominica]

@millslu Miss D is rriiiiigggghtt here.

Lots of chatting on here today! Glad to see everyone supporting each other.

I agree with Zouk, I give out certain details on here (like where I'm from and up-to-date info on our process) but I would not give out this up-to-date info to just anyone. My mom, my dad, my hubby get the info and that's it. Otherwise, people just know we are doing a sponsorship and details aren't given out. You never know.. I've even heard of applicants families trying to cancel applications because they knew if the applicant went to Canada, no more money would be sent to the applicant and their families abroad. Scary stuff. I told hubby he could give his friends info on the process and how we're going - but he has never given details about the filing and office to anyone... Better that's between the sponsor and applicant only.
