I am not sure the site counts time properly, surely 22 days 45 minutes has to be wrong ?

i refer to this forum when i chat with my husband and tried encouraging him to join.. he thinks there is no use since i give him play-by-play account on what goes on in here on a daily basis..

and yeah i spend more time on this than on facebook. although i do stop when i get home!

I am actually scaling back the amount of time I was spending reading and posting to the forums. I think they do provide a worthwhile outlet for information exchange and so forth. But I have to tell you I always feel more stress about my application when I log in here. Every time someone posts what they think is an issue with their application I for a split second panic and think hmmm did I do that.. I feel 100% sure our application will be approved as I can't imagine how brain dead the VO would have to be to not at first blush see how real our relationship is and what a benefit we will be to Canada.

But the more you read here the more you see it's just not about that, its about personalities as well in regards to the case workers and so forth. So I am starting to feel that reading here is more of a downer. I fully appreciate that the fact my wife and I and our kids live together already is something a lot of the applicants don't have so it means it is a more pressing issue for them. I think I need to accept what I have now and if Canada doesn't want us nothing I can do about it and move on. But it's heart breaking reading some of the posts in here and the hell the CIC is putting some very serious and honest people through. More so I know somebody that opening was scamming the system to get into Canada a while back and they were accepted and I told the Embassy what I knew and they more or less said it was none of my business and if the people in question managed to go through the process their application was strong enough to pass.

Not much really to say to that... but its all a crap shoot at this point, and I do wish all those apart from their loved ones a speedy positive conclusion to their applications.
