Restart Button Pressed. Canadian Journey Phase II Begins Now

After the very long wait.  We are now holders of Canadian Permanent Residence VISA.

I really don't know how to put into words the emotions I felt upon receiving the news.  It was just, WOW!.  I called my wife (who by the way is the principal applicant) and gave her the best news of the day.  Almost two years of waiting, and now, here it is.

Thank you Lord for the blessings we received and the roadblocks we encountered along the way.  We learned to trust You even more.  You taught us patience and to have faith.  You reminded us that whatever happens, You know what's best for us.

See you soon Canada!

Decision Made

Out of curiosity, I checked my ECAS status tonight.  To my surprise, our application status is already "Decision Made".

Wow!!!

Another step closer to that elusive VISA.  I hope that we will receive it soon.

Thank you Lord for the blessings!

28 Days Later

After 28 days of waiting, VISA is still not issued. As I have learned during the immigration process, patience is definitely a virtue.  If you have one, great.  If you don't, learn.

Still 28 days is still within the limit set by the embassy.  I just hope that our VISA's will be issued soon so that we can plan our flights.

Anxious...

It's been days since we submitted our passports for VISA issuance.  Up to now, no word yet from the embassy.

Oh well, we were able to wait for 18 months for our medical request.  A few more days should be peanuts.

But still, VISA, where are you!
