kazuma you don't know how good you made me feel. Maybe I should give you a hug too for your kind and thoughtful words. God bless you my friend. I will think of what you said to me to help me go through!

Much appreciated

Thanks Gary. That's very kind of you!
The truth is i am starting of losing my nerve. It seems that although the year started on the right track by giving us a precious gift to wait for a new baby, February and March are not very kind on us. Our apps are lost in deep space, and my spouse in hospital with a needle in her arm 24/24
Weather is not helping either. Europe has been hit by a very big early spring winter blast and we in Greece getting the aftermath.
Hopefully something should change soon

It's funny because 13 is my favourite number and has ALWAYS been lucky for me and my family, but 2013 has not been kind so far either. Job hunting is slow and arduous and my dad got diagnosed with prostate cancer, though they caught it early. The thing keeping me going is that it will only get better. 13 will come through for me eventually! Glad your wife is feeling better and that the baby is looking good too!!
I feel like 2013 will be end up being good for all of us! It's just a slow start!

Thanks everyone! I was late for work this morning so I wasn't able to reply to your messages. hehe

Congrats inhinyeronina! Hope to get mine soon too!!

Have you done anything so far to get their attention? Perhaps you reported to them that they surpassed your normal processing times? Or you emailed cpcm-extcom with the subject "Application past processing times"?

Hello Fandv! Thank you. Never-ever give up. Call them in a week or so. In my case, I didn't do anything besides waiting patiently, keeping myself busy and praying the novena for 9 consecutive days. The only time I spoke to them was last Wednesday, March 6. I asked the agent why I haven't receive any aor yet. She told me to wait 2-3 weeks and if I still haven't receive any, I must call them back. I know how you feel. We're on the same boat.

Wow I see!! Congrats once again!! Hope your SA's coming soon too; this coming week preferably! There's a good chance your husband's PR will be issued this year too....I have the impression that most Filipinos get it within 7-8 months =)

Good tip about the Novena... I've done that a few weeks ago and I guess I should again, heheheheheh...

 

[inhinyeronina]

Hi sis! I was too happy when I got your text, truly prayed for you to get it!
Really, congratulations!! I so much admire how you showed calmness and patience while going through that AOR agony.

SA coming soooon!

Hello sis Iay, thank you! You're the second person I texted this morning re AOR. You know how much stress it brought me but I decided to remain calm and have faith. I was actually a devotee of St. Jude Thaddeus for 6 years now. He's the patron saint of hopeless cases. He helped me with my studies, health, relationships etc. I started praying his novena last Thursday. I always tell him "I know you'll give me the aor or if you're generous enough, my SA in the next few days." Last night was the 9th and final novena and I still haven't receive any emails from CIC. But I keep my faith, I know I still have Saturday, which is the last day of the week to receive it. However it is quite unusual to receive an AOR on a saturday since government offices are close during weekends(well, except my department). And yes, I did receive my aor this morning and I burst into tears while reading it. I know it's just an AOR, but getting a correspondence from CIC means so much to us most especially to me who was left behind.

I swear fandv, I was crying whenever I pray the novena. I was nearly about to give up, given the fact that most of the February applicants already receive their AORs and SAs. I honestly don't know what to do. But I decided it wont do me any good at all. So I remained calm and have a strong faith. Worrying won't do good on you.

Re my husband's pr, there are other things to consider like his medical results and others so it's kinda early to predict what will happen next. You are included in my prayers, along with Iay and the rest of the February applicants. I know you'll receive your aor and sa soon. have faith.

 

[godisFin]

Wow, I've been away for a day and so much has happened!!!

First of all: congrats inhinyeronina!!!

Then messenger, I hope you will get your AOR soon, or maybe it goes straight to SA?! And I wish all the best to your better half, hopefully she will be out of the hospital soon!

Really good to hear that sis! Let's just keep the faith alive.
I know everything has a perfect timing, and in the end, things will all fall into place

Again, congrats!! I will keep you in my prayers too

I am very happy for you inhinyeronina. It feels very satisfying to get the AOR as it acknowledges that the package is in the correct hands and is getting processed. Finally! I wish messenger would get an email from CIC-M. It seems to me it must be even more frustrating being overseas and being the sponsor - even if you are with your spouse. Frustrating in terms of feeling able to contact CIC, and feeling assured the package is at the correct location.

But some have warned us previously that some applicants never receive an AOR, the first contact they get is the SA.

Regarding husbands health - I don't know the situation, but I've been told, and read, that spouse is exempt from consideration of whether they would be excessive user of medical program in Canada. In other words, spouse is not refused based on medical. I'm highlighting this section to see if the more experienced want to add anything on this point.

I am sorry for your dad's health and I will pray that he gets better soon. I know how difficult that is!
I am superstitious, never was. I too believe that 13 will give us good luck. What I am going through now has to do with my temporary condition.
Thank you for the encouraging and wish you and your beautiful family all the best my dear!
