Hi Mell,
Yes, i had same issue. My wife was keep asking me to go temple on new year and i was saying no. I think i dont need tell you who was the winner, you can figurit out..lol
I asked for salary rais at my work...and manager said he will try his best. If they dont increase it then i may need to look for new job. I am looking for change....i am getting mad easly now days...soi guess it is better to move somewhere before co-worker kick me out.

Thank you guys..

Yeah we are going to try again in a few months. I was so looking forward to seeing her. I have no family here and havent seen anyone since June 2010.

I keep telling myself that its going to be ok and in some ways I believe it.

Need a break from Toronto though people!! I'm heading to Montreal for one night during Easter.

What plans for the long weekend guys?

Sorry to hear abt ur mother's visa rejection Mell. It has been happening to many nowadays. It's not like how it used to be back in the days. It is very hard because of a lot spam, especially for us Srilankans. They are being too harsh. But dont let this get by you, try it agian and eventually it will be in favor.

ceahM that is an unusually long time. did ur husband serve in the military or did he have any political involvement at all?

There has to be a bigger issue or reason for it to be taking this long.

You should order your CAIPS notes. It really should not be more than a year for the whole thing unless ur case is complicated or they have made a negative decision on the it. Again, order your CAIPS notes as that will give you more info.

Hey,
How was ur long weekend? Did you pray for us at MTL church as well? My wife went to visa office and asked update on our apps. They told her that they wouldnt touch the file until it pass 6 months from the date they got the app. So I have 2 more weeks to pass that 6 month time line.
Any update at ur site?
