I visit my wife in the Philippines once a year, this is all I can afford to do. While I am there we try our best to get all of our forms completed and signed so that I can file everything when I get home, but it seems every time, one of our forms expires and is replaced with an updated version on the CIC website and we have to go through everything again, acquiring new authentic signatures. Is this a joke? We've been together for 8 years and we have not become any closer to being a Canadian couple.
