I just have to say alot of your time lines make no sense...or you did not send a complete application to the CIC.... I just hope all the best for all of us... I,m at 133 days now looks like another 50 days before a PPR... and then another 60 after that ... why the CEM needs 60 days to hold on to a passport.....I,m sitting here in Hamilton,Canada just counting down the days..... approved Oct 16/12.... when we applied it was 9 months....now 12.... I would rather be in jail.... I would know when I,m getting out.... this is much worse..... and how they choose PPR beats the sh@@t out of me....

There are lots of things to do than sitting and counting the days. If you get your self occupied in other ways, it should help you even for a bit. Make sense or not, processing will always be at their own pace. And to think, you've only been waiting for 4 months, you are way too early to whine. The more you think and stress about this waiting game, the faster you kill your self.

PS: Just look at it this way, if you rather be in jail and know that you are getting out in 5 years, just think that this application will take you 5 years, and you will not have to worry until then.

Don't worry, hindi ibig sabihin na January nag "in-process" and ECAS mo ay 12 months pa ang hihintayin mo.. I think, after nila mareceive yung medical mo, bibigyan ka na agad nila ng Visa, yun nalang naman ang kulang mo diba, yung medical? Nasakanila na ba ang passport mo? Magugulat ka nalang DM na ang ECAS mo soon.

Awww this is cute. I remembered a friend's story, he is 100% Filipino by blood, but he speaks just a little bit tagalog.
He went to the market asked the vendor, "Magkano po ito?" (How much is this?) The vendor said "20 pesos" and then out of surprise he exclaimed "Oh what a great deal"- of course without the tagalog accent. The vendor said "It's actually 100 pesos" LOL, then he went away.

When he gets to the seafood market he really means business. He walks so fast and I can't catch up to him! Because I refuse to push people.. and the ground is too wet to step nicely... and I am always taking pictures like this one

My strange looks are like a beacon for small beggar kids and many eyes.. my poor guy can't shop nicely for our dinner :( so me and the dog stay in the car waiting ::)
I remember the time we bought our bamboo bed.. I was hiding in the car.. the guy agreed $10 then I popped out of the car, boy was he mad!
