Fantastic news Castro

I wish you all the best in the coming year. Do check into DR1 once in a while and help answer other posters questions that come here looking for visa support to Canada.

Happy New Year!!

Well not so great.... When he went it was a letter from Haiti saying that his passport was in line. Whatever that means.... But needless to say all week we were looking for answers from anyone. Sent out e-mails, but no response. But today he was walking by the post office and they called out to him. There was a letter from immigration again. This letter was telling him that they recieved his application and that a file was created under his name and they gave him a file number. Not a B client number, and that the application is being screened right now. They also said he would hear from them soon. So whatever all that was about. Crossing our fingers....

I am just wondering when immigration sent a letter to your husband and for what? Immigration has never sent a letter to my husband ...never... and this is our second application. I was approved in July by Canada and that is the only thing we have heaard, no one responds to the emails, faxes, nothing, and there is not information online for our application it still says unavailble.

Be patient.. That's all you need to be.. My time line is almost to the day as castro. We went together to pick up is passeport last week. It was awesome. Took me a couple hours for it to sink in.. That was the day my parents arrived for their 3months stay, so we had wonderful news to tell them..
My husband didn't come back with me, because he wanted to quit his job the proper way, train the new guy and settle all his stuff.. We were waiting for so long that he couldn't see the day where he would leave, so he hadn't prepare. I dont mind. I just spent 2whole months in the fall + 3 weeks for the holidays, mind you we got used to the long distance thing a while back.
So basically, he will stop working both at night and day around the 30th and take the week to sell his motorcycle, visit friends and family and will be here on Feb 10, just in time to celebrate Valentine and his birthday.

To all of you still in the process, don't despair, have a little more patience, your turn will come. It's all worth it.

Hi everyone, Just to keep you all in the loop, my wife received a call yesterday from the Embassy, requesting that she go redo her medical, and to bring in her passport. She is presently at the Embassy right now (this morning), picking up some papers to do with the medical! I'm excited, but I have a feeling this ride ain't done yet! Anyone know how long it takes them to stamp the passports? It sounds like awhile....those slow pokes....

Hi marxsis

My husband had to redo his medical , police cert. He sent it UPS On March7/08 They recieved it March10/08. But my MP e-mailed to see what was going on and they told my MP another three months...... When will this ever end. So we are looking at June for the next step.

I forgot to tell you this. They also asked him to bring his passport when he was told to go to the Embassy when redoing his paper work, but it was only to show to recieve the new doucments to redo. They did not keep his passport. But it may be different for your wife...Good luck.

Thanks Castro.....Yeah I figured that. They called my wife, and told her to come to the Embassy pick up medical instructions. Go redo both my daughters/wife's medical, then return to the Embassy with her passport to drop it off and wait for the visa. Well never-the-less when she went to the Embassy they gave her a package, giving her instructions to redo the medical + police certificate.....my wife asked when does she drop off her passport, and the lady said...you don't we will call you....when my wife tried to explain that her instructions that she was given on the phone was different...the lady then said told her "No, we will call you." My wife then said that she was more or less kicked out before she could ask more questions. The woman said there are other people waiting, so you have to hurry....I', sick of all this....Castro I know your suffering you are going through.....I have wasted sooo much money on this crap, it isn't even funny....The medical alone cost me about $250.00 this time around....which I think that was more money then last time...and now I have redo the police certificate for the 3rd time.....that costs more....I don't even know if I have to get it translated....the instructions don't say....well wish me luck, any advise is welcome...
