Default spouses waiting for the spouses to be approved

Hi there I justed wanted to know if anyone recently had any success with bring their spouses over to there country in the last couple of months? It seems like everyone is at a dead end when it comes to this whole immigration process. I have not heard of anyone in awhile, saying they did. With christmas coming, I wonder if things will slow down because of holidays?

Every country is different so I think you are asking about sponsoring a spouse to Canada correct?

When did you start the process?

Default Almost like having a baby isn't it?

It's not at all unusual to wait this long as it can take two years or more to obtain residency for a foreign spouse.

Default finally called him to come

Actually my husband just called me tonight to tell me that immigration called him, and they want him to bring in his passport to put in the visa. So it's finally come to the end of this really long process. Thank god, cause I really could not take it any more...

I'm glad to hear that Castro because I was thinking that if he didn't get a call very soon he would get delayed for a few more month since you're at the 9 month mark.

Congratulations and I wish you the best.

Hi Anna
From what I have read on here in the past it seems the average application takes nine months. And someone from the Haiti office sent me an e-mail and said it would take between 6-9 months from the time the office in mississuage recieved it. And the were right on the money . And we never heard from them once during the process or had to do the interview. Well actually the medical clinic called to confrim something, nothing big.........
