Congrats to sarakhans on landing!
As for calling CIC, I don't feel it does much good. If another month goes by without hearing anything (that would put us at around 8.5 months with no AIP), I'll talk to the hubby about contacting his MP. If I was the only one not hearing anything, I'd be more concerned and more likely to try to get additional information. But it sounds like there's been some sort of slow-down that's affecting many (most?) of us, at least those with similar timelines to mine. I doubt there's anything to be done about it, except for take a deep breath and continue waiting.
I try to remind myself that I'm lucky. I'm lucky to be able to live with my husband (well, at least in our home, haha, though he's gone half the time...that's just military life for ya, though, and it would be the same if we were both Canadian citizens). I'm lucky that I'm given an opportunity to emigrate to his nation, so we can be together. I'm lucky that I never made any bad enough decisions in the past to make me ineligible for permanent residency here. I'm lucky we can afford to live on one income for the year or more it takes to get through this (well, and AFTER that, too, as I don't foresee becoming proficient enough in french to work here). I'm lucky to have met my best friend and greatest love, and even though I'm a bit stir crazy, and frustrated, and nervous about the whole thing, we have it better than so many people. (Remind me of all of this when I'm tearing my hair out in frustration again in another few weeks, hahahahahaha!)
Will let you guys know how it goes. Planning to visit Service Canada right after to see if they can issue us a SIN or if we'll have to wait until PR Card arrives!
