feel like saying something just to keep this interesting thread alive
first, it bothers me that they implemented this already without updating their manuals and telling poor applicant in process HOW...they have already 6 months while they can basically do whatever they want...it's not transparent enough for my taste
second, maybe i'm missing something but will they still consider making conditional PR law? or that part was dropped? or we'll have both?:-\
third, to all of u i say, it's too early to worry and it's not good for u; at the end this is a test for ur relationship and u'll b stronger together; if u trust urselves and ur love is real u'll b fine no matter what CIC says
u'll find other ways to be together, the worst case, u'll try again, the most important is that u'll never give up and even more important is that u'll never give up each other
for sure we all the time hope we don't need to have all this headache but unfortunately, we all have to suffer from all those scamers
forth, for the ones giving bad karma u r just ANNOYING!! we should thank rjesomme that she posted these new rules, i'm sure u don't stay every day on the CIC website and follow its updates; even if u do, u probably need someone to explain u what they mean; and looool i don't think it's her who makes these new rules :-\ in general bad karma is wrong all together: people have the right to give their own opinion, advice and talk abt their own experience; even if maybe the advice is wrong for u, at least appreciate that they waste the time to write u and they care abt ur problems (at least some)
please keep us updated rjesomme
good luck to all, worry less and smile more!!
