Have fun!

Try the new Apple Toffee Danish while you are there. It's so good it's bad.

<-----works at Timmy's. How sad is that?!

Hey! I've worked at Timmy's too before!! No tears from me!!

I will have hubby try the danish.. last time we were home he tried a ice Cap.. he was addicted at first taste

Been few days but.....Congrats!!

My NOA1 is 05-30-2007 and my application is in CSC, last touched on 07-18-2007, hopefully I will get my GC a little before christmas so I can go visit my family in Montreal ( OMG quick let's go complain about this 10 times a day in the AOS May filers thread )

If anyone has ever read that, and I know Emancipation did, it's as pathetic as the OT ....

FUNNY! The April filers thread was pretty civil... I'll have to wander over to the May filers just to take a quick peek.

Misa, April fillers is pretty civil b/c theres' a few Canadians(and-honoary) in there. J/K The April people are a good lot.

I was an April Filer

Well if you only browse the most recent pages, its probably going to be fairly civilized....because its just a bunch of crying and whinning babies that have been reminding everybody everyday at what day in there process they were, and its the 5-6 same names all the time...

Most of them have received a sign or an approval so it has calmed down, but for the last 2 month until 3 weeks ago it was pretty much pathetic. I did make a final post to try to wake them up from their stupidity ( like bashing people that filed after them because they were first in line or claiming the unbearable wait after 6 weeks ) and all I got is stupid replies like a bunch of girls smoking weed hallucinating butterflies in their fairy world. Yeah this site is meant to support people, but they are not even opening their eyes on this immigration process, they are just crying like a bunch of babies in a kindergarden.

Of course now no one else posts in that thread anymore other than them, few rare posters do but you can tell they just give update and don't read them, and its pretty much a yada-yada thread now. Even the number of pages they have compared to the other months shows the huge amount of insignifiant posts...

My last comment in that thread is on page 133, post #1984 Enjoy

And this post was initiated by the post #1974 on page 132, see my comments...

Pathetic, they are pathetic.

Well I did it, sore, bruised and sad, but I left my daughter in a dorm room.

I brought the pink doillies and stuck them in her desk drawer I don't think she's unpacked enough to find them

Interesting Mephys...

I do think that with these filer threads people are starting to expect things based on other people's cases and we all know everyone's case is different. I dunno, the only thing I expected within a certain timeframe was the EAD since there is a reasonable expectation of when one would be approved for that. Even the district offices recognises that the norm is 90 days since you can make an appointment specifically if your EAD NOA1 was over 90 days old.

As for AOS, it's a crapshoot and no one can really determine how long things are going to take. If someone gets transferred to CSC they might be in limbo (a.k.a. namecheck hell) for a long long time. If someone isn't transferred they'll just have to wait until they're scheduled for an interview at their district office and timelines for that vary by office. I'm actually glad my case got sent for an interview. I had a date in sight to at least know where my case stood as far as namecheck, approval, denial, further RFEs, pending approval, etc. I honestly didn't care if my interview was 6 or 12 months from filing as long as I had a "date" in sight even if there was no guarantee I'd be approved on that date.

I wish more people would update their timeline though because that data can be very useful but right now it's out of date. I just did some random clicking on people's timelines and their timelines aren't updated at all (some don't even have one). I don't know about anyone else but that's the first thing I always updated when something changed on my case. It was nice to see all the fields start getting filled up.

Throughout this entire thing, I am thankful that I didn't get caught up in IMBRA and so so soooooo thankful that everything has gone smoothly for me.

Aww! *hugs*

Poor daughter is going to find these and wonder how they followed her.

Regardless of your views towards this thread, it is against the TOS to deliberately bait members (or attack them), my bolded part of your post indicates that this is your intention to bait.

If you don't like the thread then my advice to is to stay away from it. If you see anything that is against the TOS yourself then report it rather than complaining about it in other threads.

Thank you.

Stupid facebook. I had signed up with my real name and already got slammed with request from people I used to know but no longer want to ever talk to. I'll have to sign up again with a different email and name. The only reason why I'm signing up is the Can/Am group!

You can just ignore their requests, can't you? As far as I know, it doesn't respond back to the original person with a "you've been ignored by so-and-so".

In a similar vein, I hate it when people ask you to join their stupid realtor referral group simply because they think you can "spread the word". Like I have a house to sell.

Yep, my sister-in-law and I did a test and you can reject people and they never find out. It's helpful when you don't want to be in contact with certain people.

you also can set your profile to private so only people you add as friends can see your profile...

Oh yeah, I ignored it but I'd rather they didn't even know where I was online!



Ohhh... interesting! Well I already cancelled my original account. I'll sign up with another email and put my last name as "misa".

I have been trying to find that Can/Am group on Facebook and couldnt find it really. I can't seem to figure out how the search works and I haven't been really bothered to spend enough time to figure it out...

I guess I have enough time spent on VJ already

It's called "Across the border Can/Am couples" or something like that.

She finally got the phone working, no mention of them.




Glad there's someone else who can't quite figure the thing out

My countdown thing is scaring me.

Awww, Tinker is going to be okay at the interview! *hug*

I went out to Granville Island today and bought a dozen Rogers' Chocolates mini peppermint creams, I'm going to miss them so much when I leave.

i love Granville Island

we had a cooking teacher in high school who would arrange field trips to Granville Island... all she said when we got there was that we had to walk through the food market to make the field trip legit

i love the chocolate covered apples with smarties they have there

Salright *hugs* maybe your mom will send some out to you.

Damnit...now that I just found out how Facebook works....I have been there since last night non stop and found back 5 good friends I had in elementary/high school that I had lost track of!!!! And also 15 other people that I was in school with without necessarly being close friends.

Wow thats amazing!

Wow. You guys are missing a doozy in the K-1 forum. I had to check to make sure I wasn't in OT.

Study or k1 room??????? K1 here I come!!

My baby girl found her doilies...she's all disgusted with me

AND they still haven't sent my visa, the nerve, dunno what to do....omg.
j/k. I know a week and a day

Krikit, gotta find a livelier thread, that one, just wasn't going anywhere

ya that was pretty tame, lol To the books I gooooooooooooooooooooooo!

atta boy Flames

After my ice coffee that is!

It's funny because I started a poll a couple of months ago that asked - does it bother you when someone criticizes the immigration department in the U.S. etc etc

All the comments were - no, doesn't bother us, it's just another Gov. dept blah blah blah

The comments in that thread (and others) would make it appear otherwise?

*RME* everyone's telling poor liz she's the addict..

Woooo eeee.. sorry i missed that one..

There's something really frustrating about not getting your 2 cents in (or your VJ Sheesh in )

Aww, maaaan. You guys have lost your VJ virginity. I'm not yet numb to some of the words which come out of people's fingers yet. (Or the pictures that they post.) "I was shocked. Shocked beyond belief, I tell you."*
*From the movie "Amadeus" for those who saw it.

BTW, Tinker. Kudos on the hidden doilies. (Why does that word look so weird?) Worthy of a big .


Did I miss something?

Scott, I see you lurking down there - go study!

shhhhhhhh. lol

I know I keep checking my spelling on DOILIES..lmao

No you didn't miss anything, just SOMEONE, who will remain nameless, was suppose to be studying, but instead he was lurking on here.

My face hurts so much today.
I've been taking care of things, doctor's, prescriptions, banks....and SMILING....owwowowoowwww

Your turn is coming Len

*goes to check out this thread everyone's talking about*

Bleh, I'd love an iced cap from Timmy's.

Wooowee.. MacLeans Magazine has stirred the pot in the "big" OT thread

Yeah, I am waiting for that to get ugly.

Hear, hear!

Us Canadians are such troublemakers.

I'm on hold with NVC

They look forward to speaking with yoooou!

I went to look at the one that you're talking about (Maclean's) but ran into another thread that just pissed me off. ###### ignorant idiots.

which one!

Eh, it doesn't matter which one. Just pick any and they'll piss you off.

That's so true

OOOOH so true..

Eh, I've learned that OT is usually best avoided.

Oh, except for that Baked Beans one. That I couldn't help laughing at.

Went and got my hair cut today. First time I've ever walked out thrilled. I love this new hair dresser. I'm going to have to get AP quick so I can come back!!

OMG, I am so HAPPY....
