@ Belle

Ah, ok. 13 months before getting married isn't bad at all! The age thing might be a bit of a concern but if that is your only thing I wouldn't worry too much. It is good that you are prepared but as an outsider looking in, I don't think you should be too worried!

If your husband is trying to learn English, tell him to check out Duolingo - https://www.duolingo.com/courses/it
It's free, there is a smart phone app and it isn't too boring. I'm using it to learn Italian.

Are you thinking about ordering GCMS notes?
Thanks for the advice! No need for GCMS notes until later, if I am passed the normal processing times. If I see people who applied after me getting PPR, I will definitely look into it.

I really really hope I can stay within the normal timelines and take him home with me in August!

Hello Canadian_belle1, How are you


Dont worry about age difference. As long as you can prove an healthy and steady relationship they will not be interested on your age differences.
I am 29 year senior to my wife and there was no cause for any alarm from Vienna and believe Vienna is a VO who is hassling applicants very strictly! Rome is kinda fair on issues like these!

Regards

Tom
Thanks Tom. I am well. I guess I become paranoid when Can/Alb was refused. She was 10 years older than her husband. But I suppose in her case, his english wasn't very good and they claimed they didn't speak a common language. My husband and I both speak Italian so I hope that will help...

And CIC seems to care less when the MAN is older than the woman. There is an absolute double standard. I guess they think Canadian women are more gullible to falling in love with someone who has bad intentions :p

It is what it is, I just hope the genuineness of our relationship will shine through!

Hi CLS,

No, I am in Canada and my hubby is in Albania :(

I will be taking 3-4 weeks off this summer but I am waiting on Rome to see WHEN I should take my vacation. I'd love to take him home with me without having to spend $$ to go pick him up in the fall.

*sigh* I really hope it works out...

Oh, I know you were in Albania earlier this month, I thought from your last comment that maybe you were staying there until his application was approved. I hope you hear something from Rome soon!

Did you check out the spreadsheet for the Rome office? A lot of applications are getting approved much faster than the 13 month mark. Doing your medicals later could delay your application a bit so if you would like to move to Canada ASAP, think about getting the medicals done before you send it in.

It's totally normal you can count from 2 to even 20 days after aor but the most common it's about 10 days

Ya, don't worry. They sent out AOR by email, and 8 calendar days later it was updated to Decision Made on ECAS (although it said the decision was made the next business day after we got the AOR) and it took 10 calendar days for the letter to reach us via snail mail.
