Congrats. That's very awesome. Best wishes on your arrival into Canada and for your future. Did CIC contact your hubby as the sponsor or you as the applicant regarding PPR? I've been meaning to ask who they usually send request to

Thank you. No cic did not contact hubby, just me.

Ok thanks. Thought as much but just wanted to be sure but that does make sense since you're the applicant.

Thank you. No cic did not contact hubby, just me.

Nev can you help with the spreadsheet while I am away?

Chickie!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One more sleep girl!!!!!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!!!

I would love to help with the spreadsheet but I'm travelling for work next week. I could update it next Saturday morning though if that works for everyone. (I mean really, how much would I really have to do now that Kingston is taking 19 months to process applications? :
I know, crappy attitude, I'm just really sick of all the bs that we're being fed...)

You my love, have a WONDERFUL time in JA!!!! Say hi to her for me!!!! :-*

Hello Everyone. Having a bit of a low night... the idea of waiting 19 months is killing me.

Happy to hear some good news from some forum members... looking at the spreadsheet it appears that only two people have become "In process" since applying in October (7 months ago!!!). I just dont have much faith in a system that allows some people to complete the process in as little as 5 months while others have to endure upwards of 18 months all without any explanation.

I know we're all in the same situation, I'm just extra frustrated this evening.

To those heading off to "our island" soon, enjoy! Bring us back some warmth and sunshine. I'm back in 3 weeks, can't wait. Need to see hubby!

Good night.

Chin up, mrsbrown! Your application may be processed in six months or less than a year! And just think, you'll be in JA in three short weeks!!!!

Good afternoon family
I see a lot of you here are very frustrated by this whole process but I just wanted to let you know to hold the faith things will get better. I though maybe if I shared my story with you then you will see that the road is rough but there is a silver lining at the end of the rainbow.
So here is my story My husband and I have been together for well over 7 years. We got married 2 and half years ago.
December 2010. Our application was put in March 2011. I waited for 6 months without hearing one word from immigration Canada no Aor no approval noting. I was very ignorant to the system and had not found this site yet.
Skip forward to September 2011 I met a lady who sponsored her husband from Cuba, I tell her what has been happening to me and she gives me advice on what to do. I call cic only for them to tell me that they received my application in march but shortly after I cancelled my application (like wtf when in the hell did that happen) after having a major break down I go and see a family friend who is a lawyer who decided to help free of charge, he advised me that this would take sometime so the best bet if I wanted my husband here with me was to reapply while he works on trying to get me my money back that I paid for the first application. At this time I was in a financial situation and had just returned from Jamaica so I was broke as a joke. Skip forward to March 2012 I had been introduced to this forum but was lurking in the back ground reading and deciding if I should join, at the same time I put in my second application
And the wait again began by April I had not heard anything so I finally decide to come out of the wood works and talk to the people on this forum (everyone here was so encouraging and for the first time I felt a bit of hope)
After 102 days of waiting I finally get my AOR and on the same day I get my approval. Let me tell you it was the first time that my tears were of joy instead of sorrow. The summer went by I made 2 trips to see my husband still not a word from Kingston I send an email nothing I send another email nothing again( panic starts to kick in) then comes September and I log onto ecas and WOW my file now says INPROCESS (yes happy dance its almost over, or so I thought) well with my luck I know you don’t see smoke without fire so of course here come the fire 2 days after my file goes to in process my husband calls and tells me he received an email requesting an interview date set for 3 weeks late on October 8th. Well isn’t this great I already have my ticket booked to go to Jamaica but I am supposed to return to Canada on October 6th but there is no way that I am not gonna be there to support my hubby while he is being drilled about our relationship so I call the travel agent and change my return date for the 10th. Then we get another email requesting that we provide additional proof (seriously the western union receipts form the last 4 years , pics that date back to 2004,before we even started dating all that and you still want more evidence) LOL yeah Kingston wants evidence because cic never sent all that to Kingston(big surprise). So on the day of the interview my husband and I walked up to security with a bankers box filled with pictures letters from family, friends foes whoever would write a letter on our behalf , phone records everything but the kitchen sink.
The interview went fairly well my husband did loose his temper when the immigration office passed her place with him.
1 week after the interview we get a request for DNA TEST (Surprise surprise)
Then finally at the end of November we finally get the magical call for passport request (breath sigh of relief)
Yeah right at the rate things have been going there has to be more things cant go so smoothly now, soo of course less than a week after sending in the passport we get a call for an io stating they got a letter with new information about our case and this has be investigated before a visa can be issued , apparently someone still don’t know for sure who it is but I have some ideas of who sent in a letter to immigration that our application is a fraud and that my husband served 3 years in jail (lol what a laugh my hubby has not gotten so much as a speeding ticket let alone been to jail.)
But family I tell ya the lord was in control that day and the immigration officer who was handling our file was an angle sent down from above she checked out things in record time saw that the information for that letter did not add up and 1 week later dhl picked up my husband and step daughters passport for Kingston and he went in the next and there in the passports were the shiny pretty little visas. We wasted no time and 5 days later they landed @ Pearson.

My reason for sharing my story with all of you is to let you know that the road is tough and very frustrating and the devil will throw all he has at you , but PLEASE keep the faith and don’t worry because at the end of every storm is a beautiful rainbow.

Even after your spouse lands there will be bumps in the road still but it will all be worth it
I am still going through with issues with the government ,but you know what the worst is over and it will be for all of you as well.

God Bless you all
