Hi Hoping75,

thanks for the advise, i have some things i have to mail for his sisters anyways so i'll put them in the box with those as well, i told him to print off the email i've sent him and that his sent me, so he can take care of that one, I've burned all the pictures from my 4 trips onto 2 cd's that i'll send him as well, thanks for all your help, i do hope that we well hear something soon,

i'm suppose to be going over on my 5th trip to morocco in the summer, i'm thinking middle of june to middle of july, i cant go after that cause the guy i work with will go on holidays from mid july to mid august then we will be in session after that... so thats the only time i can go and see his family before he comes up (fingers crossed)

another question, after living in canada how many years later can he go and see his parents/sisters/brothers? cause i'd love to go back and visit them again with him ~

i have so many things on my mind

Hi Iqaluit
Welcome to the message board hope you get good news soon inshaAllah for that interview call

Hi everyone! I did not see this group here! I am Krista, 34 years old from a small town outside of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I am a certified animal behaviorist and dog trainer and also work in retail. I have been working now 3 years but I also receive disability benefits from social services. I spent 5 glorious weeks in Morocco and married the most wonderful guy in the world. The photos we have are breathtaking! We celebrated marriage in the Sahara desert, and spent our honeymoon in Asilah and Tangier. We lived a his families in Meknes, he has a brother in Fes and we also went to Rabat. god we went everywhere! I do need some advice here on being a sponsor regarding social services benefits for disability. I am worried this will hurt my chances to be a sponsor. Since I have held my retail job for 3 years as well as my dog training job for 1, I am hoping my disability benefits from social assistance will be overlooked. Any thoughts? I can't wait to meet all of you here!! If anyone is ever interested to see my photos..please message me privately..OMG they are just soooo amazing!

Hi All!

Hi Becca,

If they asked for your Husband's passport, that has to mean the the Visa is right around the corner.
People are getting their calls to come and get their Visa without ever being told that they were approved.
They are just getting the Visa call.

You will get that news soon I am sure.

Good luck and God bless.

Hi Everyone,

It's been awhile since I've been on here as I have been travelling for work.  Abdel and I have decided to get married in July and I am busily arranging all of the paperwork I can gather before I go back to Marrakech.  This will be my sixth trip in 1 year!  It's a good thing I do some work in Morocco so I can write some of this off!  I have a couple of questions that I'm hoping some of you can answer.  First, I am divorced and I am sending my divorce certificate to the Department of Foreign Affairs in Ottawa for authentication.  Has anyone else had to do this?  How long did it take?  Also, I have asked a French speaking lawyer in Vancouver to prepare the affidavit for me before going to Morocco.  Did most of you have this done before you went to Morocco or did you hire a Moroccan lawyer to do it?  My last question is a little more tricky.  I am basically self employed.  I am a partner in an incorporated company in Canada and I get paid dividends.  As far as a work certificate is concerned, I was thinking of having my documents of incorporation showing me as a 50% shareholder notarized as well as my income tax return for 2007.  Do you think that will be sufficient?  Or perhaps my dividend statement will be enough?  If anyone has some insight or a recommendation about that I would greatly appreciate it.

To all of you who have gotten good news and been reunited with your loved ones, congratulations!  To those of you still waiting, my heart aches for you.  Becca, your pain is PALPABLE through the computer screen!!!!  I am praying that the universe will see fit to ensure you and your husband are together soon!  I wish there was something I could do to help you.  Life is so short and you should NOT have to wait for it to start.  I am in a fortunate position because my company has interests in Morocco and Italy.  I am actually moving there with my son for 6 months to oversee our operations and I would be doing this whether I was getting married or not.  After we get married I will be returning to Canada for about a month and a half (basically for Ramadan) and then I will be moving to Marrakech starting the first of October until the end of April 2009.  I am hoping that my soon-to-be husband's immigration papers will be completed by the time my son and I have to come back to Canada and then we can come back together as a family.  I am also hoping that it will play in his favour during the interview that I will be living with him in Morocco at the time.  Does anyone have any experience with this?

On another note, there may be a way that I can help some of you once your spouses get to Canada.  I own an employment agency that helps people with hotel and restaurant experience find jobs in Canada.  Actually, my reason for working in Morocco is that we are recruiting temporary foreign workers from Morocco to work in Canada for two years.  They do NOT receive a permanent resident card!  And if they are married to a Canadian citizen and trying to immigrate here, we can NOT get them a work permit under this program as they will be refused because they have another file open with the Consulate.  I wish this could be an easy answer for everyone but unfortunately, it isn't.  However, if any of your spouses have work experience and/or education in the hotel and restaurant industry, I may be able to assist them in finding a job in Canada when they arrive.  Please check out my website at www.pegmoves.com.  You will see that I am legitimate!  LOL!  Also, this is FREE for anyone looking for a job.  I get paid by the companies who hire the candidates.  Now there are NO guarantees that I can help but I will try.  The only requirement is that they must have at least 1 year of recent experience working in the hospitality industry, preferrably as a manager.  We have offices in Vancouver and Toronto and we service clients all over Canada.  If anyone has any questions, feel free to email me at roxanne@pegmoves.com. 

Thank you all for sharing everything.  This board is amazing and truly supportive.  I am praying for everyone.

Roxanne

Roxanne,  Are  you in Vancouver?  I am in Vancouver, in SoMain/Mount Pleasant. 

I sent my divorce papers in and if I remember correctly it took almost exactly four weeks.

I had my affadavit done here in Vancouver at a French Notary Public (Alma @ Broadway) and had absolutely no problems at all.  And my husband and I filed our papers in Marrakech too (my hubby is from Marrakech).

As for the questions about your work certificate, I think your fiance should inquire with the necessary people in Marrakech.  We did our marriage in Marrakech, took a full three weeks from start to finish. We hired a lawyer in Marrakech and that was a godsend.  He only cost about the equivalent of 50 euros and he did EVERYTHING with us.  And usually with him, we went to the front of most lineups etc.  Money very well spent.

Thanks for your well wishes.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly. 

Thanks for the info.  I know there is only about 100 Moroccans in Vancouver right now, so it is a small population.  Most everyone else settles on the east coast!!  I would love to meet for coffee and to also meet the Moroccan couple in my neighbourhood.  Definately I can get my hubby to chat with your hubby.  I will mention it to my husband today, then I will give my husband's number to your fiance.  I never kept the lawyers name or number, but I will ask my hubby about that today as well.  The lawyer was young and totally sweet!!  I sent the divorce certificate by courier.  And I got EVERYTHING translated when I was in Rabat.  It was much cheaper to do that than do it here.  I think we had all of my documents translated into arabic for around $40.  I think you are looking at about $100 per document here and the arabic may not be moroccan arabic.  Some of our documents are already in french and that is sufficient, such as the RCMP certificate.  I will try to find your email off line and I will pass on my info to you.

Take care,
Becca

Dorcas
