welcome dooste aziz, we all have our fingers crossed, im almost at 10 months personally, the way it looks the average is around 11-11.5 but hey syria is 100% unpredictable, good luck to you and hopefully it will be a smooth process for you,

to the rest of my dear friends my journey here is over haha ill be back in ottawa on the 5th, not too excited about returning to -27 but it makes me happy to know im almost at the end of the process and thats why i cant stay here anymore :D
Hi Sohrab,

According to Arezou the average was 9 months and 10 days, I prefer to fool myself that this is the deadline for me!! lol..... Honestly, 11 months is also ok.

U r returning to Canada? So u r the sponsor right? How long have u been here?
What kind of an absurd situation it is that a newly married couple should be separated for such a long time?! I'm really sorry for those who have legislated this law....it is absolutely the WORST decision ever made.

Dear Fati,

in this thread i saw 3 people who had invited for an interview. You can search them. Their nick name was: Sara_az , YayaMarie and Scarycemetery. I think that Yayamarie got his visa the same day but Scarycemetery is waiting till 24th November for a decision. I hope your husband will have a normal and safe interview. Do not scare yourself. Everything will be good.

how you met, when you met, what he like to do, what you do together, where he works, how much he earns, the name of his working place, previous work place, his family birth dates where he lives in canada, address, benefit and more. i was asked all these questions dont worry you will do ok, be prepared, and you will get your visa same day.

she asked five things i liked about my husband, where he lives, what is his hobbies, what he is doing when he is not working.
where he work and how long he has been working there, birth dates families and himself
when we met, how we meet, when he proposed, how the relationship developed,
do you know why you are here?

when was the first contact with your wife?

how did you meet her?

who made the first contact?

what is your wife's name?

what do you call her? (I think this was because in all our emails he calls me val but my full name is valerie)

how old is your wife?

where does your wife work?

what does she do there?

she's lived in different countries, what has she done there?

do you know your wife's family members?

what contact have you had with them?

have you travelled together?

where did you travel together?

did you have a honeymoon?

your wife is divorced, right?

it hasn't been very long since you met each other, but you decided she would come and visit you very soon after you first met online (4 months). why so fast? how did that happen?

what happened when she visited the first time?

why were you so rushed to be married? how do you explain that?

your wife is older than you, can you explain that?

(this led into a bit more of a discussion about our age difference and whether we had discussed how it could affect us etc., it was the most nerve-racking part of the interview because it took on a more serious tone but my husband was strong and spoke from the heart with conviction and they accepted his response- this was clearly the biggest concern)

what do your family members do for work (brother, sister, parents)?

what do you do for work?

noticing our receipts for sending money back & forth:

does your wife send you money because you need it?

did you send her money for the same reason?

do you have family in canada?

Hello dear Wardeh,
alffffffffffffffffffff alfffffffffffffff mabrook I am so gald for you and I hope that you have a wonderul future waiting for you together :)

Hi shas44,

the private insurance not so many will apply for it when they arrive to canada
for the first 3 months after landing you cant have any medical coverage here in toronto so it is optional if you want to get that or not but my wife inssist so might as well and anyway being in lebanon before I have always had private insurance. you can buy that when you buy your ticket but it is cheaper if you buy it privately here in toronto.
it costs me 280 dollars for 3 months(the cheapest for 3 months start at 220 for up to 15000 dollars and 280 dollare for up to 25000 dollars) and this will cover any visit to the doctor or hospital or medication which i hope i will not use it but it is good to have it because it is really expensive if you dont have any medical coverage but after 3 months from arrival you will have complete coverage for medial care.

have a Happy new year everyone and hope more PRR to come
Allah ybarek feek kamal, kollak zo2.
wish you all the best

Good bye 2011! :p

Welcome 2012 the year of Dragon! Based on Chinese astrology we might see unexpected happenings in this year!

We can have either good luck and bad luck in this year but I hope we will have chance to turn it into better luck.

Hope we will receive unpredictably more and more PPR! :-*

I see!!
Good for u, I hope this is a sign that they are finally issuing the visa for ur wife. Thats a pity u haven't seen ur wife for 18 months now and I hope u two see each other soon in Ottawa. By the way, do u have any idea that the official warning announced by the embassy on Dec 15th is a good thing or a bad thing? I felt they are going to speed up the process, am I right?
