I haven't been able to write for more than a month now so I think this is going to be a long one. That part of my life was called 'Almost tired of waiting game'.
After the CIC Ghost update as what they call, I haven't received any update regarding my application. Some people who receive the update would usually get their Passport Request (PPR) within days, but why is it that mine has taken a very long time. I waited not just days, or weeks but Months! The anxiety is growing day by day.
One time I sent an inquiry email to CIC and got no reply. The second time I sent another email telling them that I received an updated status in my EE account but nothing has changed. Then a few days later they responded telling me that my Permanent Residency application has been approved and just I have to wait for the PPR email.
I was again happy and excited and felt like my almost tired waiting became not so tired waiting game! lol
Then month passed, and again no email. I started to become anxious again and again, and became tired of waiting. The emotion is just too much on this part of my Canada Permanent residency journey.
Again, I turned to God. Prayed so hard and started to again let go! I don't know, I'm just so stubborn. I've been to this situation before and God saved me. Why is it that I'm still not totally trusting this to him? I asked myself. Then I started to let go.
It was after Sinulog week here in Cebu that I started to just check my email once a day and my express entry profile. Jan. 24, 2019 Thursday, I have not checked my email because I don't want to be disappointed. Then on the next day, it was Friday Jan. 25, 2019. I arrived at my office desk, open my computer and instead of checking my email, I decided to do my office works first.
I was so emotional and couldn't concentrate in what I am doing in the office. I open my Facebook and started to type a message to meepo letting her know about the good news, but then a thought came in. I won't tell meepo, I will surprise her along with my proposal! So I tried holding my emotion but I'm just really not good at it so on the next day meepo figured it out. A fail surprise, and I was not able to give her the ring too.
Anyway, for the wedding proposal, I still have some ideas for that. It would be my next goal.
Monday, January 28, 2019. I submitted my passport to the VFS Cebu. Then 4 days later, today is Thursday Jan. 31, 2019, I received a confirmation that my passport is now available for pick up!
What a journey it has been. God was with me since day 1. Now I know my life wouldn't be easy in Canada on my first few weeks, or even months but I definitely know to that God is with me and that everything will be good!
