Hello.
I am pleased to annouce that my husband was granted his Permanent Residency Visa on August 20, 2004 and arrived in Canada on September 4, 2004 and became a Permanent Resident.
Some of you may remember my previous posts outlining some of the difficulties that my husband and I were experiencing with Immigration Canada. The process for us from start to finish took 2.5 years. He was orignally denied a PR visa in July 2003. In April 2004, I attended a Alternative Dispute Resolution meeting with a lawyer representing CIC, an IAD (Immigration Appeal Division) member and my lawyer to discuss the issues that lead to the refusal. I won the appeal and it took just 4 months for CIC in Haiti to issue the visa for his travel to Canada.
We are extremely happy to put our experience with Immigration Canada behind us and to be able start our life together.
We haven't met any Dominicans yet here in Ottawa but have met many people from El Salvador and other Latin American countries.
Mu husband says he doesn't want to go home for a visit for a few years but I think that will change once he experiences our Canadian winters! :cross-eye
To those who offered their support over the years, thank you!!
