Trying to understand why the approval process has to take so long.

Besides my husband, I told two people. One lived out of state and was the kind of person that didn't gossip - she was an awesome person in all ways - great friend.

The other was a co-worker who I thought was my friend. She told everyone at work. It was very annoying.

oh sheeesh!! that would piss me off. People at work think I'm still single or divorced lol

Haha, until she spilled the beans, everyone thought I was divorced/single too!

I'm really wishing I'd kept it all quiet until my wife was here too. Oh well live and learn.

Well said Kiwi12,
It can be frustrating to say the least. For me it gets harder to go into work every day now since for the past year and a half, almost every day about a half a dozen different people ask me if there's anything new yet, and for so long I've been saying any day now. It gets so I don't even want to face anyone any more till it's all over.

Awe my husband feels the same about not wanting to face other people. Even when I go visit, people ask us about news and when I'm moving to Canada. I visit him every two or three months and that helps but it's still hard. I only told a handful of friends at work and that's about it. It helps avoiding unnessary explanations or expectations and well, it's in a way..job security hehe

This makes me appreciate my situation even more. Not only I'm incredibly lucky that my husband could come and live with me in my home country during the process, but we're not being plaged by people asking about it all the time. I barely talk to my family, and my friends don't want me to go so they are on denial ??? lol. On his side, his family is always telling us how they miss us, but they only ask about the process once in a while. They know they're going to be the first to know when I hear back from my VO.

That being said, I'm so sorry for all these extra things that make the process even more difficult. It's such a tough time, and I think we can all agree we won't find solace on any CIC policy.
