Passing the time

[parker24]

Hi guys....I am Canadian (green card holder) living in Tennessee with my husband. There is alot of great food here but becareful Parker with what they try to feed you. There are some pretty strange things....Do they want you to try "Chitlings"?
My husband went to Canada for the first time this year..he loved the poutine as well. So after going through the hassle of getting my green card here, he wants to retire to Canada. Wont be for a couple of years at least but I am reading this forum so I will be well prepared. I finally got a job here as well. I work for a lawyer processing immigration paperwork. HMMMM

Not that I've been told haha but my cousin (who moved to Nashville 12 years ago) wants me to. Now I'm scared! :-[ haha

Trying to think of positive things. Visiting my mom dad brothers ,

Then after supper we bring up our video chat, and we talk about our day, our plans and my step daughter we also play an online game together, we play that for hours, 1 1/2yrs we have known each other and On augest 8/12 it will be our First Anniversary..
WE also email, text and we miss each other very much, but we stay connected as much as possible and it seems to work for us... I also start to cry and get down at least 24hours.....I love my hubby and step daughter so look forward to starting our lives together in Canada. Hopefully that will be soon, finger crossed.
Oh another thing I do is come on this forum several times a day and read the threads, it helps.. All we can do is hang in there and be here for each other in whatever way that maybe.. Hugs my forum friends. thanks

I am getting closer to the end of this process and now I feel days slips very very slow, I have no patience anymore.
In one year of waiting for my visa I got to know feelings that I never felt; I know we all feel at times in our lifes stress,frustrations,anxity but this stress, frustrations, anxity which cames along with this immigration process its differet, its stonger and I guess its becouse you are powerless, you cannot do anything to change the course of the process, you cannot make it faster, this feeling of powerless drives you crazy, it did that to me and I was quite "out" of this world at times.

I tryed to keep my mind clear by doing sports every day, reading, enjoy my family here in Romania,go out with friends here, tryed to keep myself as busy as its possible, it helps.

We have to make sacrifices for the people we love, and for everybody who dose that and get truough something like this for their beloved ones I would say congratulations a million times becouse it's a very hard battle.

All the best to everyone!

I'm sorry but this just wierded me out, you basically quoted 3/4 of my post to this thread. To see my feelings taken and used almost word for word (dates changed) took something away from my post. I'm sure no one else would pick up on it but ,since they are my words, I noticed right away. Maybe I'm not being rational but I felt sick a bit. I don't know maybe I'm over reacting to it, maybe its the separation from my husband getting to me IDK... This is a great thread started by Parker24, it let's us all know we are not alone in our feelings, but our feelings are OURS! our post are unique to US! someone tell me I'm not crazy for feeling like this.

Thank you for saying raj, I think it's just me, going a bit bonkers with all this, I reallize we pretty much have all the same feelings, when I read it I over reacted. Good luck to you and yours.

What's that they say about flattery? Oh yes, imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

I can see why it would annoy you, though. To plagiarize a post is kind of odd, IMHO. Hopefully he/she didn't do that with the proof of relationship stuff, specifically the timeline / relationship essay. That's part of the reason why I didn't post mine publicly. Imagine the VO starts processing the plagiarized version before the orignal!!!

Hey FS.. yes I may have over reacted but was rather disturbing when I read it , cause it was me word for word, I can understand another having very similar stories, was just it was too similar. But they did say sorry and were hopefully sincere. Ya I agree we often times post too much info, I myself do that, get carried away in the moment and all the frustration!! Glad someone other than me could see my point.

Knitter here as well! I also spend a lot of time on ravelry, these days it even keeps me from knitting because I'm just ogling and queuing patterns all day long when I'm not at work, lol. Parker24, you really should sign up, we can all friend each other there.

I also crochet and sew/quilt, and lately I'm reading more again. I keep on sending out job applications and try to get interviews, and thankfully I have a temporary work permit so I work everyday. I think even though I have many hobbies I would go insane if I couldn't go to work. We hope that it works out that I can maintain my working status until I get the OWP, but I only ever get short contracts because my employer is short of funding. I also love to be outdoors, and I find that it's a lot easier to wait in summer because the weather is nice and it's less depressing.

We also have a 10 month old baby girl, and she keeps us plenty busy, lol. We enjoy taking her out swimming and for walks, or to play with her cousins.

It's pretty verbatim, maybe he just has a mind like a sponge and regurgitated your language without thinking about it. Creepy none the less.

Since I recently received my sponsorship approval, I'll spend a lot less time checking my email 100x a day!

I've been out enjoying the summer, swimming, bike riding, road trips, ect. And it's also Stampede week in Calgary so there's lots to do and see (fireworks and free breakfasts and BBQ are my fav part).

I hear you! Once we receive the sponsorship approval, I think I will spend less on visiting CIC site and checking email. But right now I'm sitting in front of my PC almost all day rubbing my cat's belly (he loves it).

I spend lot of time trying to find work... which is as stressful as waiting for PR approval and school work . I know I'm luckier than many of you to be here in Canada with my BF and be able to work (but no job yet). Since my BF does not make enough for both of us, I'm living on my saving but it is getting very close to the bottom. I wonder what your plans are to find work for you guys?

BTW, this is a great thread! Thanks, Parker!
