I would print just a couple of pages per each week showing the dates. Shows the officer you talk regularly but wont break your bank account or drive the vo crazy with too much to read. Thats what i did. Just printed a representative sample of our chats over time and wrote a cover note saying i have hundreds of more pages if they want them. :)
thank you so much sis.....on getting the facebook conversation, alot of my messages dont have the dates on it......so im just going to print just the way they are and let my wife write a cover note about the messages and state if the want more i can prove them with it.

Hey everyone. How is everyone doing. Hope someone gets some good news before the week ends. It Tuesday the day they update Ecas, anyone have any changes?

@BeHopeful. I havent received anything yet, i really dont expect it to come until next week. My lawyer said he was going to call someone and find out, but he hasent called me either. I tried to start writing the ARC with him on Saturday but he needs some proof of documents. Anyway i continue to wait through this whole process.

Hey everyone! Glad to see everyone here, but unfortunate that no one has heard anything yet. It's very frustrating but our faith is in Gods hands and the right time is coming for each of us.

GIGI hope you hear something this week. It must be difficult to know something has been sent to you but who knows when it will arrive. Did your husband have a 1 year exclusion order? When did he leave? How much detail are you putting in your ARC letter? I'm just starting to think/ plan ahead because we may need one and don't mean to ask too many questions. I find the ARC's confusing because what's done is different from the CBSA statement. What other supporting documents do you provide? I'm assuming the record confirming when he left Canada.

Have a good night.
Keep the faith everyone.

need to ask a question and hoping that i get a reply from the forum, the question is for those who is leaving in canada and those who was leaving in canada and are planning on returning or have returned.

since leaving canada my drivers license has expired, and am hoping to return soon and am guessing i have to start all over with the drivers license.i also have a credit card that am still paying, and hoping it doesnt affect my credit ratings. when i return and get a new drivers license does that mean my financial life starts over as new or do i continue from were i left off.

hahah you may have guess it am trying to avoid paying my C.C hhahaha

You may be able to just renew your drivers license depending on what class of license it is and how long it has been expired. Unfortunately, you will still owe on your credit regardless of if you renew or have to start again. The license can be used as a form of identity to obtain credit and confirm your identity but once you owe, you are on the hook for it until you pay it off, make other arrangements or declare bankruptcy. Your debt follows you wherever you go! And as long as you make your minimum payments every month your credit score will not be affected. Therefore you do not need to pay off the balance of the card but just pay what they are asking for in order to maintain your credit rating. If you have trouble paying them, contact them to make other arrangements to help protect your credit. Best of Luck!

I sometimes wonder what is going on too. But I am hoping the other applicants who are not on this forum are hearing something from POS. If not, then it would be interesting to know what the heck they are doing down there.

Visa officers do not process applications in order of receipt as much as they claim that that they do. So it is a very high possibility that someone who applied after you may get PPR before you. Take for instance gigi. For me it is not a matter of who gets PPR first but just some indication that these people are working or even answering a damn email would be nice. And when I am hearing that stuff like criminality, security etc hasn't been started gives me no hope. Oh well I guess my husband will be in Canada when cows learn how to fly!! SMDH
