Anxiouswifey - someone has to be the calm one. I have had to put on a brave face to my hubby because he worries a lot.
I pray everyday that everything will turn out fine. The red flags that we have are more because we got together so quickly.

It is good being on this forum and getting so much information from people who have been through similar experiences. Had he and I found this forum I think we would have done things a little differently so we didn't have red flags but that is life. We are trusting in God that everything happens for a reason. This process has made us stronger as a couple and strengthened our bond.

Good luck, we are all here for you.

I am so grateful I found this message board. To everyone who has taking the time to reply to me, thank you so much. It's great to have so much support and to know I am really not alone in the process. I believe in God and I have faith he will see us through, but for some reason I am still nervous...

Mrs. Trini - My husband and stepkids are going to complete their medicals on Friday and I will make sure pay the Right of Permanent Residence fee upfront. Does your husband like it in Canada??

Canadianinlove - I will try not to stress too much. My husband is cool as cucumber, and I am think I am doing the stressing for both of us. I though our situation was complicated but I feel more and more calm reading other people's stories and seeing how they are handling things. I hope all goes well with your interview, you must be excited to be in the homestretch!

It means "Acknowledgement of Receipt" , so it's basically when CIC gets to your application and provides you with an Application Number and a Unique Client Identifier (UCI)
Okay, cool! Thanks for explaining! :)

mrs.trini my hubby is here too been here since August as a visitor. I have bought him 2 jackets since he's been here to keep him warm.
Leaving for Trinidad on the 23! Can't wait to get some doubles! I know that the price has gone up but I am willing to pay to get doubles as soon as we arrive!

I am excited and nervous all in the same.
:p ???
No way that's great ! So we are both enjoying our Husband , how sweet.

Is your Husband finding the weather too cold ?

And yes I'd pay any amount of dollars for a Doubles lol

I'll keep you both in mind for your Interview, just make sure you have all your proof and go in with a positive attitude.

Just about everything.

Any thoughts on this...

My mom is here on a temporary visitors visa. Do you think it will have an impact on my application.

My own son lives with me permanently, and I am sponsoring my husband and two step sons.

Also, should I include her on the form IMM5481? I am responsible for her, but she has her own monies and such...

I am not sure but if she is only here as a visitor I don't see why you would have to include her in our application.

Hubby's planning for November
Canadianinlove said:
I got a reply today.... with a letter dated just yesterday
We are going for an interview in Trinidad on October 29th!

I am nervous but really excited that at least we can start to move things forward.
Yayy! I'm so happy for you both. Yes the interview can be nerve wracking, but it's a genuine relationship, so they'll see that. The important thing is that you're one step closer to being together on a permanent basis.

October 29th is coming up soon! :)

Hubby's planning for November
mrs.trini said:
It's amazing , Im so complete now lol.
I still can't believe it sometimes.
I can't wait to be complete with hubby by my side. We booked his landing for the 20th of November as I'll be going to Guyana to bring him in. We both thought it would be best when my son is over 8 months so that my mom could watch him. Time has been flying, but still not fast enough. How's hubby with Canadian life? Is he working?

It shouldn't have an impact as she's not being sponsored. As she is on a visitor visa, I believe she's actually responsible for herself. She's not considered a financial dependant.

The time is quickly approaching ! In just a month you'll be with your Hubby at last :)
I really can't believe the year is almost over

Hubby is doing well :) He saw hail for the first time over the weekend , he was so amazed lol.
And yes he is working thankfully !

No red flags and we met in person... Also we have a son together who I not too long gave birth to. So it was smooth sailing. Hope it goes the same for you as well!

Good luck to all!
