Hi JC,
It is nerve wrecking indeed. and while waiting, the anxiety distracts you from your day to day work and responsibilities (e.g. I have been spending sleepless long nights at my pc on forums like these)...listening to others - feeling happy at their successes, and sad on the ones who are delayed. As if the universe has shrunk to Canada immigration and any related bytes. and many a times getting discouraged by stories of many who have landed and have been struggling (see posts from CharlotteJ) at the same time being inspired by their grit and determination. But if one has a settled life in middle east with wife and kid and financial responsibilities back in home country where the only driver for immigration being the quality of life, security in old age, a western passport which will provide (in my current belief) a secured bright future, solid education (all round not just academic) for our daughter - one constantly struggles to find the right judgement. Should we or should we not - is the financial dip (surely in comparision to middle east`s tax free income) really worth it. Is the maple leaf `passport` really that magical, the upbringing so much more better in Canada that it is worth taking all the risk and getting uprooted in a currently well settled job, in a world class organisation. Pray tell. Then again - middle east itself is no retirement venue anyway. The economic development, fantastic growth of India etc is all very very impressive - at the end of the day we still cannot wait to return to UAE soon after the vacation time in India. The pollution, the under-civilised attitude of the masses (not essentially your work enivironment etc - but really the masses who touch you every single moment) are all things that make you think repeatedly -IF I DO NOT take the immigration step today in a few years time EVEN the OPTION will no longer exist (will be too old). Will our daughter be happier when she grows up that we took the step. Perhaps. Who knows. The Asian economies are obviously booming - perhaps that is where one needs to be. But then again as many seniors on this fortum have pointed out well - immigration decision is not a purely economic decision for many (perhaps most). (ref posts from Qorax, Leon etc - which puts it very well).
Anyway - sorry got a little carried away at your invitation to vent. Feels better so thanks for starting the thread. Best wishes to you and all forumers.

I just cant explain what i am going through now. Wait Watch and Discuss has become a part of everydays routine for me.
At work here things are not fine with me , overall we feel nothing is attracting us anymore than the PPR and Visa.
God willing , this anxious wait and want leads ALL of US to a better tomorrow with heaps of opportunities and satisfaction.
My best wishes to all who are in a queue. God Bless n lets be more Patient.
Lets communicate and share more positive vibes !!!

I must confess that I think a lot about this, to the point that my focus is noton my duties but on the Immigration Process. I think a lot about my children too. Am I taking the right decision for them? What if... Anyway, GOD HELP US... SFD |

Fellow Applicants
Today is sunday, and we are taking some of our precious time to share our fear, frustration, joys and doubts... I feel a bit better doing this since I know I am not alone on this torture.
We shall NOT Fear.... It will come to a HAPPY END. My Case turned into In - Process last november and that lighted me up thinking that I will get MR soon. Hope I do not loose the little hair I have by then....
Have a wonderful Day..
SFD

Guys you are so right. Mixed feelings and emotions at every stage of the processing not to talk of the 'fear of the unknown'after receiving the visa.Moreso if you have waited after medical as long as some of us have,you will understand it if I say life seems to be at a standstill now.Everyday you wake up hoping to get at least some update which never comes.You cannot make or commit to any long term plans especially when money is involved for obvious reasons.
Well at least we have committed ourselves to the immigration process and for as long as the process lasts I will advice that we take full control of our minds so it remains focused and not allowing any nagative thoughts to germinate. Quoting from somebody on this forum, 'this stage will also come to pass'.
Cheers and best of luck to everyone as we wait with bated breath for our medical requests,PPR or Maple leaf

it's easy to say be patient but in reality it's hard.. especially if you received email from immigration that your papers will be processed for 90 days and it's already 120 days.. tsk tsk tsk

Have you checked the E CAS ? I supossed it's In Process since you are a 2009 applicant as well.
Patience... The Mother of all APPLICANTS. On the other side, CIC... Father of all.. I AM GLAD WE ARE ON GOD'S HAND..
