Hello all
I do not know you personally but I do sympathize with everyone here. I know the wait can kill you. Anticipation....... Boredom.... Anxiety.....
Back in the 80's (it was lot easier of course) I did my share of waiting with all the above motions as well. At that time it took less than 7 months and I dealt with the Canadian Embassy in my country of Greece. At those days (correct me if I am wrong) VO did not exist as we know them today. Of course they characterized them like so but it was more personal and the only thing one had to do is pickup the phone, dial and speak to the officer responsible person to person and most of the times in first name basis.
Those days are gone and now all of you and soon me (or I would say my spouse whom I Sponsor outland) will go through the same paces.
I know even me that says this now I will eventually become one of you... But following this thread for the past 6 months and reading daily has given me a lesson. Not to keep my mind occupied on this thing constantly.
I know most of you want to re unite with your loved ones asap. And if possible yesterday.
Be patient...Keep your mind focused on the good things that you have now. What ever happens, happens (Que sara, sara as the song goes)
Just go back few hours, days, weeks when all the nice people you met here received their COPR or what ever its acronym is. See how happy they were that particular moment when they immediately after opening the envelope wrote it here!
You all will be like them soon! One by one any moment now Europe, Franzi, McDutch, gutto786, sponsor2012, SanBen,
mase, lonely2011
Your turn is almost here and dont forget to announce it when you receive the letter! My stretch will start in about two weeks when we will send our forms to Mississauga
All the best to you
