Well I just thought I would let everyone know that on Friday night I finally decided to e-mail my MP's office to see if we can get some answers. All I want to know is if they received the papers that my husband sent to Haiti. Fingers crossed this will get us the answers we are looking for.

Hi Sandra

Im crossing my fingers for you guys too. Good luck.

If you are in Canada which I know you are then you are the sponsor and your wife is the applicant because she is applying for the Canadian permanent residency visa.

You were the applicant when you filled in the application for sponsor which went to Mississauga.

Hey Carlos,

Did you send in the Use of Representative form - that would designate you as your wife's representative? If you did not, then they can not respond to you.
We sent in the form after the original application was sent - but I wasn't taking any chances. That is why I had my husband send the message. As he is the applicant they can give him information regarding his application.

That could be why they did not respond to you. Or maybe like a lot of things you just never know why they respond quickly to one person and never to another person. BTW they have never responded to me - even when I asked for confirmation that they received our Use of Representative form designating me as his representative. I also sent a message to clarify their letter to my husband regarding the civil documents. We sent the documents any way - I just wanted a response from them to add to my file and they never bothered to respond to that one either.

I mailed our app. in November - so we have just passed the 8 month mark and still nada de nada.

hi johanna,
we didn't send the representative form either, does that means that my husband can not ask for help to the mp? just in case we need him. Because if the embassy do not contact me in this week as they said, we are considering to contact the mp.

When we filled out the paperwork my mom filled out the application. At the time we thought it would be better if someone else filled it out other than myself. And any time I e-mailed or called( when they would relpy back.. a big when) they never gave me a hard time and I was not his representative. But when my mom was down in Puerto Plata and called Haiti to find out what was going on with his application they gave her a hard time, and she was his representative. But it states in the application under the use of a representative that Complete this form if you are appointing a representative. You are not obliged to hire a representative. We treat everyone equally, whether they use the services of a representative or not.
It does not say that you have to fill this form out. And on the Document checklist under sponsor 4. it says, Oringinal of completed use of representative (IMM5476), if applicable.

Hi Eve,

your husband can certainly contact his MP. I guess because it is government to government they can share the confidential information.

I contacted my MP in April and with only our names and birth dates they were able to ascertain that they had received his application (website has never been updated under my name).

And in a shocking and wonderful development I contacted my MP last Friday to see if they could get a status update. Haiti emailed back this morning stating that they are ready to issue his visa. All they need is for him to bring the passport to Santo Domingo. They said that they wrote to him - but he has not received this letter as of yet.

My MP faxed me a copy of the email which I will scan and email to my husband so that he can bring it with him to Santo Domingo rather than wait for the letter from Haiti to show up one day in the mail.

I guess my Murphy's Law kicked in - I have a non-refundable ticket to go in September via Buffalo lol. Of course now it will be the waiting game to see how long it takes them to send the passport back to Santo Domingo :) :) :)

That's great news Johana.

Seems that the back log is being worked on and the people in that group are now moving up.

Congrats

Thanks everyone!!! We'll see if they torture us as much as Mart and her husband and take a month to put the visa in it. He's off on Thursday so he will make the trip to Santo Domingo then.

Castro,
the problem is that he would need a visa to enter the US :) and not just transit through an airport. I'm not sure what I will do with the ticket. I looked at changing it but I would have to pay any applicable price difference and the only time it's the same price is on my original travel dates lol. So I still have to figure out what I'm going to do. I had been saving this last week of vacation so I could go down spend a week and then come back with him. I so want to see him on a plane for the first time :)

I did not realize that you were going through the states.. Well this Thursday will be two weeks since we went to Santo Domingo, and the lady also told Jose that it would be two weeks. So crossing our fingers they call him this Thursday. But mart went through the same thing, they told her husband two weeks too.
