I know exactly what you mean...... here let me give you a summary of my typical day... starting from morning...

She calls me to wake me up at around
5:30am (for prayers)... after I go back to sleep keeping the phone on.. she then uses the other phone to wake me up at around
6:45am (for work).. I shower.. the phone is on... she hears me take the shower.. brush my teeth.. (etc.. you got the idea..)... then around 7:15am or so... She reminds me to take my lunch... and I head to the car.. phone disconnects as I gotta go 2 level down the garage... then at around.. I call her back once back on the road.. we talk while I'm driving to work..
8:15am I get to work.. and we disconnect the phone.. but many times I'd just keep the phone on.. and not talk we'll just hear each other, then the phone disconnects after totalk 90 Minutes (automatically)
9:30am around this time I send her a txt msg and tell her its time for breakfast.. and she will reply back.. and I will have breakfast.. she will eat (dinner at the same time) and its usual business until
11:00am this time she miss-call me and we have a conversation for about 30 minits.. and I get back to work, the phone is on for 90 minz..
12:45-1PM - she calls me again to say she is sleepy.. and we talk for few mints until she falls aslep...
1:50PM - I go out to pray from work place.. I ask her if she is sleeping or not.. if she is... then i disconnect the phone and call again ... here we talk for 10-15 mints.
2:30pm I'm back at work.. the phone is still on.. and I hang up because she is sleeping.. I do what I have to at work...
4:30pm I leave work.. I warm up my food.. take it to the car.. drive away.. and park somwere nice.. I call her.. she wakes up.. and we eat.. and talk.. sometimes we both sleep.. (I take a nap)
6:45pm wake up for prayers.. I keep her sleeping / sometimes she is up
7:30pm we talk......... / I do my things / maybe another nap..
8:40pm time for another prayer.. so I take her with me and the phone is on..
9:30pm we talk......... / I wake her up... if she fell asleep.. / maybe nap
10:30pm time for the final prayers.. this time I tell her to nap until I call bak
11:15pm I call bak.. we talk talk talk.. I drive HOME while talking...
12:15am we talk.. and have dinner....
01:00am we talk.. I check the forums.. sit on the pc for bit.. and I start to fall asleep..
01:30am I maybe sleeping now....or we maybe talking... depends on how tired I'm

5:30AM ---- Then the cycle repeats it self..
PLEASE NOTE: (actual timings may differ from day to day)

12:55 BOM Mumbai Jet Airways 9W118
17:55 LHR London Heathrow 9h 30
Overnight stay required 19h 20 (+1)
13:15 LHR London Heathrow Jet Airways 9W5051

Spoke to 2 of my best friends whose wives landed recently.
In both cases @ Pearson they were treated very nice and taken aside...asked to produce the marriage certificate.
For one, they had asked more questions abt the sponsor..job,address, salary, etc. For another they did not ask these additional questions, she was pregnant when she landed.

Both of them only carried jewels, clothes, utensils and no B4 or any other form was needed beforehand.
They both told me it was smooth and very treated very nicely and the IO explained a lot abt Canada, health care etc and where to get help.

Just an FYI about this experience.

@DNT, one thing i hate abt CITY is all the crappy handsets...which one do you use?
Am not looking at the high end smartphones...do let me know which handsets u tried and which stay long..

What is this B4 form? Is this the form you're to fill before you land?

You took the word out of my mouth... EVERYDAY I curse the phone.. and this morning when I got in at work.. I cursed the phone because the lock key doesn't work properly.. but yeah the phone really sucks!!!!!

I use the HUAWEI U7519 (NEVER ever get this phone... Battery life is AMAZING tho, but its soooooooooo slow and slugish.. that to conference somone in you need 11 seconds) but I like the battery life on it.

They don't sell this phone anymore, and even if they did I'd have SAY NO to you. I won't even let my enemy use it lol.. and you are my friend

I just checked their website... and I suggest you check out the following models...
Nokia E73 (WIFI enabled, includes built in GPS) battery life is good too
Samsung C414Y - ok phone with ok battery life (samsungs are not good on battery life)
LG WINK (nice lil phone with built in mp3 player, (again ok battery life)

I've got my eyes on Nokai E73

But this needs to be filled in only if goods are being imported. Am I right?

 

[fprince]

Thanks Man, E73 it is.

 

[fprince]

Only after you land & if good are to follow.
You do not need it if good don't follow.
I am not doing one either.

Hey cdngirl,

Forgot to ask you, did your hubby receive the PP?

No pp yet.. looks like IPS loves us so much it wants to hold onto his pp as long as it can!!

 

[DNT2003]

I actually opened the link posted above... and was filling the form.. got bored... but I was thinking of a worst scenario..

I was just ***thinking*** and a question popped up in my mind... What if I don't goto India to bring my wife. She speaks 0 English... meaning she cay say just "Hi" and "Hello"... and of course "Thank you....", she is from a village of 6 families...

How hard would it be for her to land ALONE because of communication issue?
