ANY GUYANESE SPONSORING?

[CDNGirl]

Is there any Guyanese who is sending in Applications to Mississauga than to be processed into the Visa office in Georgetown Guyana or Port of Spain?

Hi there, link me up.

I am already in the Process through POS .. they don't issue visas in GEO

What's your timeline?

 

[CDNGirl]

I'm just at the starting period...

I'm just over 5 weeks since CPC-M received my application.. But I haven't heard anything yet.. I'm beyond nervous at this point.. I guess everyone's application processes at different times..

What's your timeline like?

 

[confusednscared]

Oh, no need to start to freak just yet.

You can check CIC's website for processing times for the In Canada portion of your application. I have noticed that they are taking longer then expected since I have a family member that just recently submitted their application at CPC-M.

The last time I checked, it shows that it's taking them 69 days to process applications and they were only looking at cases from Feb.

However, once you have submitted everything that they asked for on the Document Checklist, you shouldn't worry about them sending back the application. Also, if you meet the sponsorship requirements you are good to go. That is, not on EI, Gov't Support, etc.

My application was sent back from CPC-M last year because I forgot to sign one or two pages but otherwise it was good to go.

My timeline:

Application started processing at POS on Aug 12, 2009
Received AOR on November 16, 2009

Mind you, my situation is a bit complex because I was a failed refugee and PRRA claimant and therefore was removed from Canada earlier this year. I did very well for myself throughout the years I have spent in Canada.

Since then, no other form of communication. However, in response to an email inquiry they have informed me that the application is in queue for an interview which will be in the next coming months (no specific dates given)

I find the POS office a little slow and very difficult working with. For now, I just have to keep my mouth shut and let them do their work.

I should be getting some sort of update from them in the coming weeks to month though. I can't wait here in GT any longer.

How about yourself and your spouse?

 

[confusednscared]

Oh, I must say "WELCOME ABOARD"

Your process is just in the beginning stages and this website will become your biggest addiction in the next coming months. Helps a lot with getting answers to questions.

You name it, there is an answer.

So, Bienvenue

Oh my god dear, now that is a complex situation..
C'mon I'm sure GT isn't that bad... haha.
Well, I did the application myself and my husband did his part along with the police clearance and medical which he had sent in directly to POS. I went through the application must be about 10x to see if everything was okay and didn't seem to find any problems.. I'm hoping by June 2nd week I should hear something before I plan for my vacation to GT.
I hate waiting, CIC has been my favorite site haha I actually try logging on nearly every single day!

It isn't easy for sure

 

[confusednscared]

Oh boy, it isn't an easy situation at all but meeting people on this immigration forum make you feel that you are not the only person hanging out there. There are 10 000 others in your or a similar situation.

This is what keeps me lively and yes, CIC's website gets refreshed about 6x a day for me to see if there are any updates.

GT is BORINGGGGGG ... nothing good to do here. I guess it's because I became too dependent to a certain lifestyle back in Canada and having to give that up and adjust to something completely different here does take a while.

I was born and lived here for 14 years until I migrated to Canada and lord, do I dislike the tropical heat.

I only like the weather for my flowers and more flowers..LOL...

I too hope by the end of this month or in early June you would be able to hear something. You said you have done everything on your own, true? I hired an immigration lawyer,not consultant, back in Canada just to make certain I am doing things properly.


Well, another day closer to hearing some news.

 

[CDNGirl]

I agree, thank god for this site.. but than, I get so worried when people who send in their files before Me get their first approval.. and I'm just like............................................................
Well, I do hope we both here something soon for sure. Are you also through a Spousal Sponsorship?
Your bored of there, while I'm here...... wanting to be away from Canada and be there for sometime! haha

 

[confusednscared]

I just checked CIC's website and it says that they are processing up until March 3.

Yea, I am hoping we both hear something soon.

I am going through spousal sponsorship as well. Is your husband from GT?

How about you? Are you from GT as well?

Trust me man, it's boring here unless you like to be around craziness. I choose Canada anytime, any day to live. I love to travel too and I can see me traveling to a lot of places once I settle back in and have a real job

Where about are you in Canada?

 

[CDNGirl]

My husband is from Berbice. I'm a Canadian born with Guyanese nationality. I'm currently living in Toronto.

 

[confusednscared]

my dad's from Berbice

I am a city boy. How long have you been living in Canada?

Oh, are you from Scarberia?

 

[CDNGirl]

I've been here all of my life actually.. No I'm more by Jane & Finch side

 

[confusednscared]

OUCH, you live in that area? Don't you ever live in fear?

I would sleep with one eye open every night if I ever lived in that area. Needless to say, I ended up purchasing a place at Keele/Wilson. About 5-10 mins from Jane/Finch area. I have got a friend whose family members live in that area. They are from Leguan.

I honestly refused to walk in that area. No offense to you

I can recall going to the shopping complex at Jane/Wilson and walking there in fear of my life during the daytime period. I guess after a while it becomes a joke for those who live in the situation and area. For me, the first couple of months traveling from Wilson station and having to put up with a certain group/s of people used to give me shivers but then it became like nothing. It was a different lifestyle compared to my downtown Toronto lifestyle.

I first live in Scarberia and then used to live between DT and Scarberia after I met my spouse. Fun fun fun days
