Congratz to your friend PB.
I received a letter 1 week back. Saying my husband not eligible to enter Canada because of Tsunami. He applied for permanent resident in Canada, but before he got refused. He never mentioned me to mark on the Sponsor application, but now it created more problem. Now they are asking for the prove to write a proper letter. Plus have to show my income letter. With this info they will make a decision. I don't know what hell going to happen. By December 20th we have to send everything. My husband send everything today. God hope everything will go well. We are in big headache till we receive reply from the Colombo visa officer. Everything in GODs hand
