    Foreign Service - Strike?

    Let me repeat myself from earlier in the forum, since no one bothers to check. She applied for renewal for her visa in Canada when she was still there and was REJECTED. ERGO, there is a higher chance of us getting rejected when we re-enter Canada. It is not be over worrying, it is a likelihood...

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    With me and my wife, it also is like that. We got the sponsorship thing out of the way, but now we are waiting on her PR visa to come through....not sure how long this whole thing is going to take (we applied for it about 6 months ago....) but we are waiting it out in Korea, not Canada. Can't...

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    I am not sure what you mean but I am currently in Korea, however, I applied for all of this 15 months ago now IN Canada (in Toronto). As for my timeline, if you mean WHEN did I apply, as I said, 15 months ago or so. If you mean when do I WANT to go back, December this year or June next year at...

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    Ironically, I have been waiting for over 14 months now, I got approval of sponsoring my wife (so I am officially her sponsor) but we are still in the dark about our app for a PR visa. SO we filed that at the same time as the sponsorship, and is it logical to assume that since the sponsorship was...

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    Nope. Her situation is complicated and she may be refused a temporary visa. I cannot explain it here on the forum. It is not my choice. Also, we consulted a lawyer and they say it is completely up to the person at the airport in Canada. If they decide to NOT let her in, then we waste $2000+ to...

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    I agree, my son gets many "cute" comments as well, but some old men and other couples look at us like we are an abomination or something. Also, I have heard the chinese comments too, but I also understand a bit (since as I said, my friends are almost all chinese back home) so I usually just...

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    I can go home, so can my son, my wife cannot. Also, my family cannot come here. They don't have the time or money to spare. Simple as that.

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    Thank you very much for your kind words. I really hope my family can meet my son sometime before Christmas. They missed everything so far because of their busy lives, I just want to go home, like you said. It is not unsafe here as a whole, but if you live/have ever been to Mississauga, Oakville...

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    never said I was an expert. Also, everything I said was fact. I experienced it. I am not saying that all are like this or that. I said what I experienced, and only I am an expert on that. As for you not calling me a hillbilly, you kinda did. Saying I am from a small town in Canada? Toronto is a...

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    ] Fair enough, but I have had issues with mixed race. Also, in my country, if someone swore at me, I could swear back and feel 1 on 1. Here, if I did that, I would feel 1 vs many since I not only don't speak Korean, but also, I might offend multiple people just by saying a korean swear. They...

    I know I sound like I am just bitching about my situation and there are those like you and the Egyptians who are WAY worse off than me. The air here is not even CLOSE to as bad as China. I hope your daughter is alright ><". I also heard that the AC in China causes people to get sick from going...

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    I lived in Mississauga and Toronto my whole life. The weather in Canada is not the same. Also, this is one of the hottest recorded summers in Korea. yes, there is AC on transportation, and yeah they are a heck of a lot more efficient. So is the government services. I got my visa approval AND...

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    Well, I know that. I have been here for 14 months and no war. However, I would rather be in a country that has relatively NO CHANCE. This is just not safe, not in terms of war, but if you have indeed been to Korea, you would know that mopeds drive on the sidewalk, cars (taxis) drive like...

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    Hey, I am a young guy living abroad in Korea. I married in Canada with my Korean wife and she got pregnant and then her visa expired so she came back to Korea. I already applied for spousal sponsorship and the government already granted me that much, HOWEVER, it has been 14 months now since I...
