FM & Carlos - OMG is it ever taking your cases forever - it is driving me mad let alone how you two must be feeling!! I really hope you hear something positive soon!!!!
I hope ordering the CAIPS notes will give you a heads up on what they are holding back on. Keep us informed - we really are rooting for you guys!!

Yris and I had absolutely no problem. Nothing extra asked for, no interview, took 8 months total. Perhaps because she every document required for both her and her son, was a professional of good standing in her community, and had an established business. I'm not sure if that makes any difference, but if the spouse that you are trying to bring to Canada is lacking education, money, or a big difference in age...etc I'm sure they look closer to see if the relationship in genuine.

nothing for us yet...still no AOR letter either

we are just at the 6 month mark too so not really expecting anything yet...hopefully it wont be too long though

we will probably order the caips notes soon too...at least then we will know the next time they are going to review the file...that will give us something to look forward to!

Hi!


I contacted my MP (by the way I'm in Montreal like Carlos) last Friday for the 1st time. She was very resourceful. She got back to me on Monday morning. She gave me every single detail about my case... So whoever is working on my file in Haïti has only one thing left to do: decide whether an interview is necessary or not. She said I should get further instructions before the end of next month, assuming the agent working on my application is not sleeping on the job. On Dec 12th my documents were reviewed for the last time ( that's what they call the ''callback date"). According to what my MP said, once you get to that date it also means the embassy is done with the analysis... So we're waiting for the call either for the interview or ''the pick-up''

I'll keep you posted!

MBG you must be thrilled!

It is so nice that you were able to get some answers!!

Keep us posted because hopefully we will start getting some news soon too!!

Omgosh, that is wonderful news! Your MP was amazing to get all that info so quickly and not brush you off, I had contacted mine just to ask a question and she seemed like a real stick in the mud. I hope you hear soon.

Hi Sangria and Laurar!

You got that right! I AM THRILLED!

My MP seemed eager to help from the second I started talking...I thought she was going ti get back to me within a week or so without much... but in less than 24h with details.
Now that I have a little time I'll explain: The CIC website says my application was IN PROCESS since June 17th (My MP says , the embassy agent actually opened my file on July 21st). The extra documents I had to send were received on Sept. 29th (My MP states it was opened on Oct.17th). So like I said, things depend on the kind of agent working on the process. I'm glad my MP replied so soon with much more than I expected.
I'm crossing my fingers for all of you to hear something soon too!

Talk to you soon!

And thanks ( I know you guys are feeling it as it were you)!

Question for those who have contacted your MP, how did you contact them ( phone, email, in person ) ?

It's been a week since our MP emailed them and no response..... They are trying again today.
