Congratulations iqaluit. Hope this flow of good news will spread all the other specially those who have been waiting really long.
Ibtissam... You should notify CIC, send doctor letter of how many week/months you had the baby in your belly. They will work that backward to see if time corresponds with when you two were together in Morocco. Provide travel tickets and proof that you were with him in Morocco for x amount of time. Will definitely help stregthen your case. Best of luck.

Thank you for your response... incha Allah we will let them know, I hope it helps - but I have been in Morocco since I became pregnant, so I wonder if that would make any issue (like, I'm taking an extra long visit kind of thing.) Maybe I will just need to prove I am going back to Canada?
It's 1 o'clock in the morning on a Saturday morning (Friday night) and I'm without my husband. This sucks. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. It's funny cuz no one (ie. immigration) cares that this is the 52nd Friday night that I've spent alone. But that's fine. Cuz we all know that if this was a Canadian-Canadian Marriage (the vision of perfection, the absolute model of marriage) that spending 1 year apart from each other would be completely easy and perfectly normal and acceptable. Right.
And the best part: when he gets here and we have to contend with 1 year spent apart (after 2.5 of living together AFTER we were married) and work extra hard to make our marriage work (cuz Canadian-Canadian marriages are sunshine and rose 365 days a year).... everyone will say "I knew it wouldn't work'.
Yay for us.

Lynn - I share your pain.
This whole thing is sooooo messed up. I DO NOT think that having to wait 7 months after the interview is something we should benchmark against. I never thought we would not be one of the 80% processed in 7 months. I mean I have had such horrible luck my entire life. I work my arse off in everything I do, and yet I always get the short end of the stick. I just thought for once, just one freaking time in my life, I would have just a little luck. But I guess I should have known, back in September, when we had the papers ready, then I end up in the hospital having emergency surgery the night before I was to send them off and delayed my submission of the paperwork by a few weeks. That event should have set the tone for me that this whole immigration thing would be a disappointment and that none of the projected timelines would be met. But the old me, an optimistic me, thought that I have gotten the time delay out of the way, and that my bad luck had already happened.
I just wish I knew what will happen in our life. When my husband will arrive. Right now I can not plan more than two weeks in advance, because my life is being held to ransom by immigration. I am a planner, always have been, I like everything to be organized, that keeps me grounded. Right now everything is chaotic.
I wonder if the immigration people have problems sleeping at night. Knowing the havoc that they wreck on peoples lives.
Anyways that is my rant for today. If there is only four of us waiting for visas right now, maybe that will speed up processing??? I am grasping for straws here.

I wake up every weekday and wonder if today will be they day they decide. I eat breakfast and ask myself - are they sending a letter right now? I eat lunch thinking - will Karim have good news tonight? I race home from work in anticipation everyday. Everyday I'm disappointed and every morning I start again.
Fun.
I can't believe its coming down to choosing my husband or my country.

I totally agree Lynn.
Each night I go to bed wondering if there will be a call in the middle of hte night from my husband. Then I get up every morning thinking well, not yet but there are still a few more hours before the they close in Morocco. Then by 10:30am , I know it is all over. Another day with no news.
God, on Monday, we will be starting our ninth week. Still with no answer. I just wish there was something we could do. I feel soo helpless. I hate leaving the fate of my life to a stranger half way around the world who doesn't know me or my husband. One who doesnt see or hear my tears. One who doesnt know that my mom is 72 years old and longs to hold a grandchild. That breaks my heart.

Hi Raven et all,
It's true that the choice is simple - husband wins. I'm just so saddened at the thought of all this wasted time and money energy. I wasn't living in Canada when we decided to start the process - we both went home (me - Canada, him - Morocco) thinking it would be faster to do it from his home visa office vs. the visa office where we were living. And now it's going to be all for nothing. We should have just stayed put.
Coming back to Canada (alone), setting up a home for us in a city where I barely know anyone (alone), starting a new job (that was so hard for me to get having not worked in Canada for 3 years), rebuilding everything (alone), was incredibly difficult and expensive. But I was excited to be doing it for us. It took me a loooong time to get settled and get my life and health in order and now I have to move again? really? this sucks so bad.
We haven't been denied - but we're both at a point where we can't stand this much longer. I look at LCS and she's what - almost 2 years into this thing? Unacceptable. What if they are specifically stalling us so we won't have the denial to file an appeal (sounds crazy - but it may not be)? Then how long are we waiting for? 3 years? 4 years? Indefinitely? No thanks.
I can't stand living without him that much longer, and he's in the same boat. Going to visit is impossible (see above for my lack of money and vacation time) and a short term fix for the fact that I still have to come back here (alone) and he has to still live in Morocco (which is breaking him - he also hadn't lived in Morocco for at least 4 years before we started).
So my options are: stay in Canada alone or give up everything I've worked (so so so hard) for and go back to teaching overseas with Karim?
I am caught between the biggest, baddest rock you've ever seen and an incredibly hard place.
Lynn - sorry for the long rant

Just an update for everyone,
The calls for Visa's keep coming.
There was a man on the other forum who's interview date was the 15th of April, another who had his interview the 17th of April, and another forumist posted that 2 other people that had their files started in Rabat in October also received their calls for their Visa's. Another From Dec 3rd received his call.
The Shower of Visa's is raining down.
You will all get your calls very soon.
Good luck and God bless everyone
