Good eveing everyone.
I want to first start by saying thank you to everyone that has passed on their congrats to my husband and I. We truly appreciate each of you and all of the support we have recieved from this forum. I am sorry I am not speaking to each of your directly but know that I mean my words to all of you. Gosh, I feel like I am receiving an OSCAR and this is my acceptance speech!
It was kind of a crazy day and this is why I am only now getting back on the forum. I checked my e-mail early this morning and ended up checking it again at my lunch and there was the e-mail. I thought this can't be it, but I opened it and it stated my husband should send his PP, one immigration size photo and fill out a form that asks his name, eye colour and height. I was in disbelief when I saw it, ran out of my office, called my husband, sat down in my car and SCREAMED.... while singing the song to him "you're coming home". (I think it is Kayne West for those that don't know the song and maybe goes more like "I'm coming home, I'm coming home, Tell the world I'm coming home"!)
Parts of me really can't believe this is true and the little bit of pessimistic person in me says just wait something will go wrong. We were not asked for an ARC for the person that asked me that. My husband's exclusion order will be finished on the 29th of September and the letter states it can take 2-4 weeks to return the passport, so I figure either way an ARC will not be required because his exclusion order has/ will be passed by the time he is ready to come back to Canada. For those people that have gotten their notes, don't lose faith because there isn't much in the notes. I ordered our last set of notes on August 11 and received September 12 and the notes indicated nothing was 'in process' with our file and here we are a month later with a PPR. Things can happen quickly and like Zouk said, once they are ready, they move quickly. The notes are about a month old by the time they reach to us so lots can be done in the month.
I just keep praying for everything to be smooth from here on out. I have been daydreaming all day about the day he comes home. I know we will have to get re-adjusted to each other, but I am just so excited. I just want to recognize all the people that have been waiting and continue to wait. I know the news of someone else getting a PPR can be very painful and hurtful when all you want is the same exact thing. I am not going to say 'hang in there' or 'your turn is coming' because that is not helpful and it doesn't stop the pain. I am not sure exactly what to say but I know it can hurt.
Thank you again everyone for the support, blessings and positive support to our family. I have one question.... my husband in obviously in Trinidad and will drop his passport off at the VO and plans to pick it up when it is ready. Should we include a letter stating that he will pick it up and they should call him? Just don't want it to be missed.... in his letter from POS it only says where everything should be sent and doesn't say anything about picking it up or having it couriered back.... if anyone knows please let me know.
SO.... WHO IS NEXT?! Let's keep moving POS!
and I already have a question waiting for you! When you received your response (Acknowledge of Receipt - also known as AOR) from POS in May confirming receipt of your application did it have the POS office details on it or general CIC details?
