Hi everyone. I was hesitant about posting my landing story as I didn't know if I would further upset people still waiting but reading other people's landing stories brought me so much joy,hope,and excitement so I'm gonna share our story. **Disclaimer** this post is not intended to brag,boast, or upset anyone we just genuinely wish to share our story.***

Soooo hubby arrived last night. I was running late!!! Had to make sure my legs were well shaved hair nice and neat, and everything else on point. Make sure the house was clean,cozy, and smelling good lol so I left home what I thought was late but turns out the flight was delayed about 25 mins and I figured he would take a while to get through immigration. I had butterflies in my stomach the whole entire time could not belive this was finally happening. My hubby is the baby of his family so everyone started calling me asking if he had arrived his whole family was worried . I stood in the airport and as I started seeing people come through the doors with boxes of rum I knew it wouldn't be long. I can't describe the feeling those of you who have been there before me know what I mean and those of you who are up next will soon know. Not long after the doors opened and there he was!!! I had to look twice he had a new haircut lol! Biggest smile on our faces as we rushed to meet each other. We gave each other a big hug and big kiss and both said "Thank God". Turns out he had a friend on his flight who sort of guided him through which I am grateful for as hubby was a little nervous. He introduced me to his friends. We got him a coffee (Tim's ofcourse). Then we headed home. He said he wasn't cold and didn't need to put on the coat I bought him hahaha can u belive he was okay in his sweater. Lol it is Amazing having him here it is so strange and surreal. I woke up a million times throughout the night just looking at him in disbelief he was really here. Today we did some walking outside he was cold and wore his jacket and even put the hood up lol. But he says not to bad. It was so great having him here to do things like the grocery shopping which we did today and we went to the mall. We are now making a late dinner together well he's doing all the work I'm just talking. Mmmm steam fish and crackers hubby is a greatttt cook. Oh yea he said the process at the airport was easy they asked to confirm his address they asked his parents names they asked my phone number and they asked what he was bringing. He signed some papers did the SIN and was given a welcome to Canada package and some information. He said the flight was okay other than take off he hated that part felt he was gonna pass out. Poor thing....so that's our story. We are both praying for everyone that we can hear some more landing stories very soon!!!! Let's please try to keep the peace and unity going on this thread. It's difficult for everyone. Yes we think we know what we are getting into but my dad always says "5 different sisters 5 different minds" or something like that. So essentially we have all gone thru the same process with some variation we will all handle it differently. Let's just try Continue to be supportive. :) hubby says keep praying that's what got him thru!
Awwww reading this brought tears to my eyes!!! I'm so happy for you girl, your wait is finally over and I'm sure you will treasure every minute :) Congratulations, and best wishes for your and your hubby :-*

Hi everyone, happy new year and Congrats to Nursewife I'm happy for you and I wish you all the best. Well I heard from my lawyer that Kingston said that they are backlog and they usually say that this time of year. The last email I got from them they said they received the docs I sent and my file is currently with the processing officer for further review and following the review a decision will be made or any further actions. And that was in november I sent docs from September. If you look at the spreadsheet you will see ppr coming the end of January onward so guyz I know its stressful I'm trying my best trust me to be strong so please hold the faith and trust Jehovah. God bless . My birthday is coming up in February and my 3yrs anniversary in April so I'm keeping focus on that my kids and seeing my husband as soon as possible.

Long time, glad to hear all the good news.

Question

It's my first year filling my income tax now married to a Jamaican, does it affect your results?
Yes. You will have to include his income. I went through and accountant and since I had proof of
Me sending him money and due to his income
Being low, I was able to claim him as a dependent. Not entirely sure how it worked but my accountant was amazing!

If your husband has a world income then yes it will affect but if no income then it will be the same

Hello Everyone.... my wife finally got the letter from Ottawa requesting medical, police record, updated forms, and bio page of my passport in the mail today... It really good to be able to read from other ppl experience after winning there appeal... They request my medical last week in my email and i sure did ask if i should just only send the medical alone and look at it now.. couple days later Ottawa wants more things from me that is why im glad that i follow my gut instinct and just send in everything to them that i know what they want and it sure save me extra money than have to send the other things separate. My dhl package arrive in Ottawa this morning and someone signed for it so i know everything is there now and i dont have to worry myself that i will have to spend more money to send another package to Ottawa again... the only thing my wife have to do is email CPC-COST-RECOVERY a copy of the right of permanent resident fee and send a copy to Mississauga in the mail...which i know my wife paid for it back in 2013 before i got denied. She never collect the money since she was appealing our case.. My wife just finish email cpc cost recovery a copy of the resident fee and tomorrow she will mail the other copy to Mississauga......
