Hello e4ma: I feel the pain you are going through now.

I would suggest a subtle letter to the embassy for clarification on the two key issues (travel history and purpose of trip) and if possible explain the purpose of each of your trip outside your country with documentary evidences. I know the immigration officers are very powerful and their decisions are like decree or law. Unlike in the case of a British visa when you are refused entry, there is possibility of being given a right of appealing that decision. This is not the case with Canadian and American Visas processing.

I wish you well and pray you succeed in any step you take in making them issue you a TRV.

@Hello peeps: The house is silent. Our own Manitobain has also gone quiet. I believe all is well concerning each and everyone of us no matter what stage we are

@Conmar: Hope all is fine at your end and preparing for the good news that will come out of MPNP concerning your application

Lord help me and let your will be done on my case for there is nothing impossible before you

I am here and try to look into this thread regularly. I went to a training session in Winnipeg last week...which was great, but all questions I asked in regard of a) what happens with those being stuck in the middle of asking for EV and not having been told yet "next year", b) interview done but invitation not yet issued and c) waiting for nomination ...were all answered really just vague a) we don't know, boss is deciding, b) we don't know, interviewer is deciding and c) they are in the process, we are working on it.

ufff...having said that, it wasn't much time quizzing them, as only the breaks allowed for this and we were lots and they were few .
General feeling I got: there will be more changes coming down the pipe..as at least to some extent they have to follow CIC rules/regulations.

We learned that our regional offices will be for one more year under provincial funding (transition period) before federal takes over all settlement funding. Soooo theoretically that would have meant we would be keeping Sarah as coordinator...but dang..her news threw us a bit: She will be going on maternity leave latest in March. So who knows what happens on that front...gotta love all this guessing game/uncertainty (not)

I am carefully optimistic thinking that those who are waiting for EV and haven't been told yet "no", do have a chance of receiving it (not sure if Markus is going to Ireland as well..that would cut into interview time).

voila..my latest update

Praying for you, be patient and try to submit for TRV again with better thorough declarations...Lord inspires patience.

Hey Dammy

we are fine, thanks. Although this waiting is :

I hope and prey that you will receive your nomination in time so you can spend X-mas in Peg.

@manitobain: thanks a lot for trying.
Grats to Sarah, fantastic for her, all the best from us.

Dammy

@Manitobain: Thanks for putting a word and enquiring concerning our various cases. We hope we all get positive feedback quickly.

Dammy

Conmar: I believe God that the nomination is due this week or next. He will not forsake me But not sure of making it to Peg before Christmas but you can never say, a miracle can just happen from heaven

Dammy

thanks to all for the birthday wishes, and aww..sorry to have missed your call (we went out early supper time to daughters and spent the evening there)
