Has anyone experienced similar updates/situation, please share ..

Hey everyone, I am so happy to let you all know I got my PPR yesterday. WOOHOOOO
CIC responded to my email, and quoted, resending the letter, I think the first one was sent via MAIL, which I haven't got yet.

Was in a meeting yesterday when my hubby call and gave me this wonderful . The moment I have been waiting for, FOR 14 MONTHS !!!!!

Also did you complete a use of Representative form??

Hey Anxiouswifey, No representative form was completed for my application.
Our case was straight forward my delay in my application was mainly due to obtaining a clearance from the FBI which took 6 months.

Like you said the other day, April, May, and this will be a distant memory. A distant memory your kids can talk about in time to come. A time that you can talk about that if you want something bad enough, patience, and the determination and trust will get you through anything.

Let this be a lesson!


Honestly, that is what I keep reminding myself. If you and your spouse, in fact, any one of us can put up with this BS. Even if it wasn't red tape, and a couple just had to put up with the effort of putting together the application, supporting documentations, time away from each other etc...this will make the relationship so much stronger with such trust and dedication This is what give me the patience, to know that we eh playin' de @ $$ here, we here together on a mission of one!

*sighs*
Just thinking about what we have to go through does get me not necessary emotional to cry or anything, but is thankful! I think that's the word (unless someone else has a better one), "Thankful" that we have a spouse, someone else who is willing to give up time in their live to be with us. It doesn't matter who is sponsoring, it’s just the hardship we go through to be together. This is what cools me down when my wife is upset with this process, or personal issues, coupled with all of this "BS" we have to go through. I just listen and let her vent. This is small'ting', within the big picture.

I'll say that I’m young, being 35, growing up in Canada (20+years) , I never really felt the I would meet someone like her (the life style here, and what I grew up with are totally different). Someone with similar thoughts, future goals, believes, and family values. Then to meet that person (900 freaking miles away ; F@WK me), and have to put up all of the app processing and BS), it honestly makes the fight even more fierce. I ain't fkn around, I’m here to fight, to cut A $$, and move forward, and come out guns blazin. It’s either ALL of none – no slackness.

This is why I fight. I have so much respect for you guys that are in this with me. Separate cases, but one fight.

Cheers

Ryan

Lol, she is your soul mate I felt the same way about my hubby too. The guy I dated before him was a born Canadian, I met my hubby 2 years after and he had no status at the time (he overstayed his visit). I pretty much knew right away he was the one, like you we also had the same mindset about family, future goals, etc. I told my husband not time nor distance will get between us lol.

The only good part of this process is that the appeal was done here. Imagine if it was also POS *cringe* lol. Even the minister's counsel had no doubts about my marriage being genuine. She had a few other questions but not about the marriage. When the judge made his decision he stated that one of his reason for allowing the case was because the minister's counsel did not had any doubt about the marriage being genuine which was the main focus of the appeal.

As with everything in life, you have the good with the bad, the ups with the downs and so on and so forth

Sponsorship Application Status
We received your application to sponsor RYAN's WIFE on December 4, 2015.
We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on February 3, 2016.
We started processing your application on February 2, 2016.


Permanent Residence
We received RYAN WIFE's application for permanent residence on December 4, 2015.
We started processing RYAN's WIFE's application on February 15, 2016.

Basically, your application is at the visa office.... nothing more than that...

Your medicals haven't been added to the file, but I don't think that is anything major to be concerned about.

Nothing is consistent... but count 35 days from when your application went into process... and hope to hear something from them at that point...

It seems they pull up files every 30 days or so to check for information.... That's kinda how I knew DSM would get her response this month. She sent the information in around Jan 20th for the clearance, and then roughly 30 days later there is an action on application...

The exception I believe is the files where there is a potential interview required.... they seem to be very quiet on those applications... prolly going for second reviews...

From what I can tell... if there are no issues and everything is upfront... your application is approved within 4 - 6 month total....

Anxiouswifey, when do you think we will get ppr?

 

[Anxiouswifey]

Anxiouswifey, when do you think we will get ppr?

I am hoping next month or April....

If they stick to previous processing times ... my firm belief is that by the summer most of us should know where we stand ....

If I dont hear anything by May, I will order my notes then ...
