Citizenship - PART 1 - Approved!!

WE have waited four months for a process that is supposed to take 2-4 weeks. During those four months we have called the CIC office once a week for the last 9 weeks and the response was always the same - "we can tell you NOTHING about your file - we don't know anything about it." UMMMM HUH? After 9 weeks of that, I escalate within the immigration office and the "top dog" responds with, "I can tell you nothing - I don't know anything about it." WE then sign a "release of information form" allowing our MP (who IS the Minister of Immigration) permission to check in and escalate our file and we hear back, "I can tell you nothing - I can't seem to find anyone who knows anything about it". wooooooooooow So, after all of this, we recieved a call today from Canandian Immigration, telling us that we have been approved as sponsors for our baby!! So relieved that our file is not under a desk somewhere. So happy that our persistence paid off. WE can now travel to Ethiopia without extending our trip for an infinite amount of time and having to worry about when that will be processed and THAT FEELS GOOD! Now, we wait until next Friday, November 1st - our MOWA court date. Please send all your positivity our way for a successful court date next week! Because if that court date is successful we will be travelling shortly after that. CRUNCH TIME FOLKS!! YEah!
