Good morning forum family, I trust everyone is well today and out little forum babe slept through the night

On their first night together, a newlywed couple go to change. The new bride comes out of the bathroom showered and wearing a beautiful robe. The proud husband says, "My dear, we are married now, you can open your robe." The beautiful young woman opens her robe, and he is astonished."Oh, oh, aaaahhh," he exclaims, "My God you are so beautiful, let me take your picture. Puzzled she asks, "My picture?" He answers, "Yes my dear, so I can carry your beauty next to my heart forever".

She smiles and he takes her picture, and then he heads into the bathroom to shower. He comes out wearing his robe and the new wife asks, "Why do you wear a robe? We are married now." At that the man opens his robe and she exclaims, "oh, OH, OH MY, let me get a picture". He beams and asks why and she answers, "So I can get it enlarged!"

Hoping all is well with everyone...
Last year was slow this time of year and as kc said died during the summer and didn't pick up until Oct. The audit was done this time last year and the recommendations began late in the summer. I have attached the results from the audit for your review, things were pretty bad back then


www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/audit/kingston.asp#background. This is the report of audit done at the kingston office june 2010.


looking @ the audit report i see they had issued in total PR Visa 1,638.8 their target was 2,410 so they did not give 771 PR Visa, this was 2009






wat is CAIPS in more detail pls anyone so i may understand in simpler form i below saw this in the audit report but clueless

# CAIPS Management:

HF, when the IO opens your file they start taking notes about the file and store them in Caips. The notes may not say much at the beginning of thier review. You can apply for them for a small fee, $5 I think and they may be free to Canadians. Many people apply for them if an interview is req'd so you know of any issues the IO may have on your file. It usually takes about 30 days to get them
I borrowed the explaination from another forum for you to see what the acronyms mean

Hey everyone!

Had a fantabulous weekend in Negril with my hubby and family. Man, that little hotel around West End was the best thing we ever did.

And then I came back to work and had the same old garbage to deal with, and decided I am tired of the stress and the rubbish, so I resigned with immediate effect. Just tired now, don't want to have a breakdown over a job.

So now, for a little while, just going to spend time with my husband. Going to love him, and live with him, and get used to not being stressed out every day. Meanwhile, he is working on a website he built, so I am going to help him with that.

I have read back since I went on vacay, I see KG is still in silent mode. :)

Irving, we stayed at the Blue Caves Castle hotel. Just 12 rooms, but the place is actually a castle built on the cliffs of West End. We had a tower room, loved it, loved it, loved it! There is a little restaurant on property, does excellent dinners for reasonable price. Breakfast is also served, but no lunch.
