This was exactly a month ago today but I have been too busy! BC Girls' post reminded me to share my story too :-*
I finished our Conjugal application after about 10 months of getting the right documentation together (and after 3 years of being apart and waiting for an annulment that was halted in progress)
I worked on it very hard.. the last few hours were actually spent minimizing it in size.. ripping out every second page of chat logs. Finally on Friday afternoon I rode it down to the post office on my bike.
It was 5pm and I was scrambling to get it all stuffed in the box, taped up, and addressed nicely. The postman was just collecting all the final parcels of the day. He turned to me and asked if I wanted the box to go in today's mail. ;D Yes please! I said. He waited in the truck outside the pharmacy post office and I hand delivered my package to the truck. I took a picture with him holding the box and cried behind my sunglasses as the mail van drove away 8)
I was so touched because after everything you go through to get the visa underway it's surprising and nice when people will go out of their way to do favours for you, not even knowing what it means to you. Thank-you, Canada Post man!

On top of the application was the bar code pages and separate folders for applicant and sponsor

The Proof of Relationship. This was heavy but since we were applying as conjugal we had to sumbit enough for all our five years together.

The Box. It was not completely full but the other size wouldn't fit it all.


Thank-you, Mr. Postman!

In hindsight I would have rather sent a more disorganized one 10 months ago. At least if they needed anything they would have contacted us, and he might be here by now!

I have been in this process since 2006 (2001 since I first applied), I just called the immigration people and she told me she doesn't know where my application is!
But everyday we meet Canadians and immigrants here who make us so happy, we like i there.
But if it wasn't for the way these regular canadians and new immigrants help us and talk to us in a friendly way I would leave Canada asap.
