Regarding people getting to worked up, the post I posted last night. Sorry If you feel we are getting too worked up. But I thought sharing my experiences with people on here would benifit others and could learn from my experiences. And having all of our information out there for any Joe blow to get his/her hands on it, I think you would be worked up too. You put your trust in Immigration Canada and then they fail you. Are you sponsoring someone right now? And/or have you gone through this process yourself. If so why don't you share your story with us, maybe we can also learn from your experiences too.

Castro, she did say in another thread that she's getting ready to submit her papers to Immigration Canada and that she will more than likely be singing a different tune in 6 or 7 months

Hi Anna

Really, so this is someone that has no experience on this topic but yet seems to know all about. I don't wish anything on anybody, but you really don't know what this is like until you are going through it yourself. Well I'll I can say is I hope she does'nt have to go through everything some of us have gone through. And it goes smoother for her and her husband, but she will soon know what we all are talking about.......Thanks for the support Anna.

Continuing on,

the visa forum is here not only to share visa info but a place for people to give and receive support during this stressful time so let's all be a little more understanding and supportive.

Thank you

this will be my last post as well.

good luck to you all

you are right...i dont know yet what is ahead for us...will it be a easy ride or prolonged and unjust? who knows?

I do know that I will handle whatever comes with patience & a realistic understanding that our government sucks.

I have watched a good friend go through this process and be rejected by immigration.

i am about to go through it myself....hopefully with a positive outcome.

i have thanked you all for your assistance so far with my personal questions.

i have shown my support for the way that it feels.

whether your application is in progress or not it still feels the same to wait for your husband/boyfriend/wife/girlfriend to be together.

there are more than 900,000 people on the list waiting for the same thing we are.

WE are not alone in the waiting game....We are not alone in our feelings.

once again, good luck to you all.....may your unfair situations be resolved as soon as possible

Oh people!!!!!! Enough with the "this is my last post"!! Everyone is enititled to their own opinions and just because they do not agree with you is no reason to get upset and not post anymore. This is getting ridiculous! Some of us like to hear from all of you! Don't stop posting, this is such a great place to go to update everyone on what is going on right now with your application so others can maybe learn from it.

Hopefully you both will change your minds and keep us all updated.

I would just like to comment on what you said about "whether your application is in process or not it still feels the same for your husband/boyfriend/wife/girlfriend to be together" But when you do have an application "in process" and things really are not going the way they should be going and you waited for months to see what would happen, and you gave Haiti the benifit of the doubt. With no changes, you will soon start to run out of patience that's all were saying. It's easier to read and give your opinion from the outside, but it's a whole other ball game once you come in to play,and have an application "in process". I really don't think anyone here was trying to upset you sangria. So please don't take it that way.. Don't stop posting, you will realize soon DR1 becomes almost like a life line that you can't live without, because there are alot of great posts and info on here!!! And great people too...

Sangria,

I will also ask that you continue to post. By the time you are in the middle of this process there will be others just starting. Your information will become invaluable to them

I have also found that it got harder after the application was sent in. I researched information both here and on the CIC website and knew the stats. that only "30% of cases are finalized in 8 months etc etc". I started off being patient and positive. But after the papers being in Haiti for 20 weeks and still no change on the website and reading about others who are only a couple months in and their status has updated it's gets harder and harder to remain patient and positive.

If it wasn't for the posts of Fireman, Caredbl, Lexi and Eve_bebe I wouldn't know that someone who filed just before me and 4 applications after me have all gone to In process and I wouldn't know exactly when that happened.

If it wasn't for the posts of Castro, Mart and Marxsis I wouldn't know the types of problems that people are currently having and why their papers are delayed.

I only hope that I am able to pay it forward

its true what you say Johana... and on top of everything, this website gives us hope and helps us to be ready to solve the problems when they come up in the immigration process...I will be sending my certificate of selection to my wife since she is now just waiting for the famous call from haiti or a letter from there as well....

Default we are all on the same side

i really feel that some have missed my point & let emotions get in the way of reading what i was trying to get across. that is fair & i apologize if anyone took something personally from what i wrote. that was not my intention.

i think "if you are handed lemons, make lemonade" or however that saying goes..this is how i live my life...make the best of the situations you are presented with (good or bad). if i didn't believe this I could never have made it more than 3 years in a long distance relationship.

i anticipate a difficult year ahead of me. i am without my husband, 2 months pregnant & like the rest of you hoping for speedy answers.

i pray to god that i don't have to deal with what castro & marxis are facing but realize this is a possibility. i know i have more patience than the average person & am thankful for that....because god knows we will need it in the year to come.

Knowing the end result will be great whether my husband is here with me or I am there with him it is worth the time and effort.

i can't put myself in your shoes because each person has a different experience & different history. i truly do feel for each of your situations and no matter what anyone says i do understand how much you miss your husbands/wives and know how frustrating it is to not be in control of your own future for the short term.

i will write again once i have something to contribute and can be considered part of the group.

i can't say i wont be controversial because i am a libra & can see both sides of a situation and will comment from both point of views....it doesn't mean i dont have compassion for peoples feelings and again i apologize if i have offended you in anyway.

I will be back when we are "in progress"
