Hi POS family, I've been around reading for the past 8 months but too shy to comment. I'm blessed to find this forum. Everyone is so positive, supporting, informative and most of all respectful. I must say that this process has challenged me mentally, physically, emotionally ( cry almost everyday) and spiritually. It has gotten me so bitter and sour. Every time someone here gets a PPR, I get strength like I were the one who got PPR.
I must say that I miss Millsu and miss dominca. As for the rest of you, I'm more than happy to see u on here.

Faith25......WELCOME!!!! Don't be shy, we need people here to keep encouraging each other and supporting and sharing the love and tears and triumphs and tribulations my dear. We all feel everything you are feeling and going through so join in and stand with us. Are you the applicant or sponsor? What countries are you and your beloved from? We love to hear how people meet and their love story too.......no pressure but bring it on my dear!! I can add you to the spread sheet if you give me a few more details. Blessings and hang in there.

Congrats!! Fabulous news and can't wait to hear about the landing. What country are you from? All the best!

Behopeful.......hello my dear how are you and hubs doing? samavril's hubby is Grenadian FYI. If I recall correctly she was born in Canada, raised in Grenada and met hubby there and sponsored him. I believe he worked/studied in Mexico for a year or 2 so that slowed down there process a bit due to needing the police clearance from there. Blessings my dear :-*

Welcome to the forum Faith! And glad you came out of hiding!!

Can you tell us a little about yourself? Are you the sponsor or applicant? What country? When was app filed? Any red flags? Happy you have joined us. We are here to answer questions, listen when you feel like this process will never end and pick you up on a bad day! Trust me we have all been there and felt the wave of emotions and question everything about our file.

Cdnandtrini is managing the spreadsheet so she would be happy to add you if you are ok with that. If anyone else is lurking come out and join us! We are a small but mighty group!

great minds respond alike ................lol.............

Happy Sunday everyone!!

I printed, signed and dated all the forms that hubby need to signed as well and I mailed it to him.

Question: does he need to date the forms the same date I used last week or should he use the present date? P.s it's a long distance relationship : )

Thanks guys!

 

[Faith25]

Thanks for the warm welcome forum friends! I'm the applicant. My hubby and his family ( parents , grandparents are Canadian born). My case has red flags, failed refugee and HC case. We got married in Jan 2013. Our file was suppose to be sent in April 2013, however, the immig consultant sent it in Sept 2013 ( lied to us). To make it worse she sent in the applications without the medical and police check. She said it's better to wait for the VO to request it since it might expire and I would have to redo it. I called her to variety again and this time around she emailed me an AOR for the first stage ( sponsor approval). She said that I should try to get the Medicals done using the AOR. When I called the doctor, she said I have to wait for the VO to send me a form with a barcode in order to do the Medicals. REALLY??? Didn't my consultant know that? Aaaaw!! I then logged to ecas and using my uci # I checked my application status. Thanks to this forum I learnt so much! That's when I realize my application was received in Sept 2013 instead of April like the consultant said. So application was sent in Sept 11 2013, file transfer Sept 27 to POS ( + CSQ request), sent CSQ and undertaking forms to MICC on Sept 28, received CSQ certificate in Oct 29.
Since then I've been waiting for news from POS. Not even an AOR!

 

[Faith25]

Question

1) Can I check my application status for stage 2 with my file number from
Stage 1? Or do I have to wait for an AOR from POS with a different #?

2) Should I email POS to ask for and AOR or should I wait another month? It's been four months since they received my file.

Hi Everyone!!

Congratulations to LouisFam and Samavril and welcome to the newcomers!

Hi C&T, Kadi, Behopeful, Kiab, MsRuby, Zouk, chickie, O&O and all of the other lovelies who've been keeping us in their prayers and checking in. Sorry I've been MIA, just been throwing myself into work, communicating with hubs and avoiding the computer when I get home from work and trying to keep stress levels down (not that this forum is a source of stress, just the opposite in fact but moreso just trying to keep busy and keep our minds on other things... as if that is possible). We're still waiting and still In Process so no updates from us... I check every day with my stomach dropping out to see if it has changed (we don't want it to change until we hear from them) and every day it stays the same... haven't checked yet today.. I try to wait until end of day in case there is bad news, I don't want it haunting me all day at work.

Faith, I don't think it would hurt to check and see if they've recieved it, they are spotty with responses so don't despair if you don't hear anything... as for checking on ecas, you SHOULD be able to use the File # or your UCI # (since you're being sponsored)... I'll let some of the others correct me if I am wrong (always possible as much as I hate to admit it sometimes).

MissD or Millslu, we'd love to hear from you if you're lurking and if you are lurking I'm saying hello and hope you and your families are doing well.

I'll do a better job of keeping in touch!

I saw this posted in another thread and thought it might be interesting... do yourself a favour... don't read the comments... sometimes I wonder if I even want to live in this country anymore when so many of our countrymen are so hateful. Anyways, I'm not trying to stir anything up... the article is interesting but the comments are gross.

Welcome to all the new folks, congrats to everyone who's had an update, and to those still waiting, keep the faith as this too shall pass.

I may not be on as often in the next few weeks, but if anyone needs me, feel free to PM me and I'll get the email notification.

Stay blessed all :-\
