Of course it is about "different" versions of love. You are talking about a Western ideal of LOVE.. vs. what someone in another culture might consider LOVE to be. Both are love to those people, but not likely would both see the other person's version of love to be what they consider love. If...

As I said, to each their own. You don't get to judge what can or can't compete with YOUR view of love to someone else... which was my point. Perhaps the bigger question is for you, what is LOVE? I am sure you can ask that of 100 people and get 100 different answers... again that was my...

You are 100% right. As most of the people here that are sponsoring are Canadians they have a very Western point of view when it comes to marriage and the whole true love thing. But LOVE means many different things to different people. Oddly enough I have always thought the western ideal of...

I hear you and my heart goes out to all the people stuck in such a situation it must really really suck I can't even begin to imagine it. There is no question that the communication channels are totally broken and I think most people would be happy to just be kept up to date on a regular basis...

I can imagine its very frustrating waiting through this process, but please don't even joke about putting in a weak application in case someone thinks you are serious and ends up with a refusal for doing so. They do NOT interview everyone and my wife had her PR in four months after we applied to...

I already have great house hunting stories haha.... very funny market...

First of all thanks to everyone for your good wishes we are having a blast in BC and plan to extend our stay a bit longer we will play it by ear as to how long. My wife had a return ticket they did not ask about that directly but on the form we had to fill out it asked how long we planned to...

We will be house hunting in Vancouver over the next eight days. Unlikely to find something that quickly I realize, but we want to get a feel for the lay of the land and what we can get for our budget. Heading back to Toronto later in the month then back to BKK to finalize some stuff. Plan to...

So I can honestly say when I started this journey back in early February 2011 I never imagined it would all fall into place and happen as quickly as it did. My wife and I consider ourselves very lucky that things have gone so well for us and now as of Nov. 3rd she is officially landed and...

Come on girl, my wife and I land in five days, if you don't hurry up and get over there how are we going to visit you in the great white north? Light a fire under someone

Re: My story for all those who waited. Maybe it's not for you. Seriously and I don't mean to be harsh but you started the process because at one point you DID think it was worth it.. or did you only think it was worth it if it was really easy and fast.. in other words if it takes any actual...

We are stuck on 79 sigs all of the regional news outlets I spoke with seemed to think it was a pretty non event with not even 100 sigs, to them it kinda showed that SG is doing a good job if that is all we can muster that are displeased with the system out of the number of apps they process each...

From the bottom of the form that came with the PPR. Customs Rules and Importation of your Personal Belongings - You may bring your personal belongings duty-free when you immigrate. On your arrival, Canada Customs will require a list of all of the items that you are bringing into Canada. Two...

I had a Magic Jack a while back when last in Canada and I do recall then there was a way to check your call logs, does it not still have that function? I was able to have records of all my calls. Hmmm what does their website say about that... You may check the recent calls log on the...
