Well just trying to do anything to keep my mind busy until her interview is over on Tuesday.Like you know nobody knows how an interview is going to go.So now we just wait and hope and pray for the best.I dont think i could go for another year if we had to appeal.
Just sit and think of every possible scenerio until its done and gone.

WOOOOHOOOOO!!! MY WIFE WILL BE HERE IN MY ARMS AUG 17, 2010!!!!

Thanks to God our process was extremely fast. Along with praying every day for this, I sent the usual documents and some pictures of the different times we spent together and some wedding photos. I sent all the Skype call logs I could find (just shows time and date of call. Not the conversations). I sent the first few emails and a copy of 2 letters I wrote her in the beginning of our relationship. The one question of how the relation was formed was answered with the following:

SPONSORED SPOUSE/PARTNER QUESTIONNAIRE - IMM 5490

9. After _______ and I met we spent time together over the next few days. It was on the night of Feb 24, 2009 when we kissed for the first time at ______ night club. He returned to Canada on Feb 27, 2009. We kept in contact every day through email, MSN messenger, Google chat, cellular text messages and Skype video calls. He returned to _________ Brazil April 17-27, 2009. We rented an apartment near the beach in the city of _________. I introduced him to my parents during his visit. _________ returned again to Brazil on July 10-20, 2009. He stayed with me and my mother and father in our apartment downtown __________. His next trip to visit me was October 8-19, 2009. He stayed with me in my family’s apartment. We celebrated his birthday together on October 14, 2009. I went to Canada on December 21, 2009. I spent time with ________ and met his family and friends. We were in ________ when he proposed to me on Dec 23, 2009. We celebrated Christmas and the New Year together. I returned to Brazil on January 3, 2010. __________ came to Brazil February 28, 2010 and we were married on March 6, 2010.


As a guy it's hard to say...(insert cheese now), but my wife and I are a true love story and now I know what they mean by,"You'll just know". For me it was in the first 10 minutes of meeting her.

Good luck to you all.

Time line:
April 12, 2010 - Application was received in Mississauga.
May 17, 2010 - The Sponsorship application was approved and the file sent to Brazil for processing
July 07, 2010 - My wife recieved a letter from Brazil office. PR application recieved May 26, 2010 and is being processed
July 23, 2010 - Brazil office sent letter asking for wife's passport to issue the Visa
Aug 02, 2010 - Visa issued. Visa office called wife to say they will return the passport in the mail Aug 11, 2010.
Aug 13, 2010 - Passport arrived with Visa. Booked airline ticket for Aug 16, 2010 to come to Canada.

Wel we had the boy to sponsor to from another father who didnt want him so it added time to get forms for him filled in.
But i couldnt believe it her appointment was at 2pm she called me at 220pm back at the hotel the interview was 15 mins she said they what she did in england when she was there for two years way before i met her.Asked a bit about us,told her she was approved and that was that told her the visa will be in the mail before the end of the week,told her she must land before Nov 9th when her medical expired.
And that was that,it cost me $1200 cad for 15 mins,Priceless
