NEWS: Keep Kim In Canada Campaign
For all of you who have been following, giving and praying for Kim’s (my wife) immigration challenges, I have some good news. As of this week, the last of the paperwork we needed to apply for her Permanent Residency arrived from Australia, allowing us to finally send in the application. Thanks to the generosity of so many of you, we were also able to send the payment along with it. Things are tight, but we were able to avoid the debt that seemed inevitable. We will have to wait several months while it sits in a pile for consideration, then go in for an interview. So, at this stage, things are out of our hands. Thanks so much to every one of you have gave so generously and to those who prayed so faithfully. We’ll keep you posted.

That’s great news, Jamie! I’ll keep you and Kim – and the real, live children of God who are part of the glacier-like things we call “governments” – in my prayers.
Peace,
Mike

Hey Jamie,
Congratulations as you guys move closer to permanent residency!! I hope this part of the process moves through quickly.

Hey Melissa,
Thanks. We are eager to get this behind us, both financially and stress-wise. I hope it processes faster than average.
Peace,
Jamie
Not to be the bearer of bad news, but the processing time for PR applications (even while IN Canada) is crazy slow. The HR department at my job told me that CIC quoted her up to 5 years processing time. I’m already at a year and a half, waiting for mine to be approved.
Here’s hoping both of our applications get sped through. It’s NO fun being in immigration limbo.
Hey Becky,
Strange. We contacted them and they quoted us nine to twelve months. I have friends, a married couple from Korea, who went through the process recently and it took them 5 months! Go figure. Here’s hoping…
Peace,
Jamie
