Waiting for my Visa to Immigrate to Canada

Guest Author: J

Coming to Canada is both an exciting and tiresome experience. Β When I was preparing to come to Canada, I was very excited to be at a different place where I believe my dreams will come true. Β However, it also took me months to get everything ready. Β The longest part of the process was completing and arranging immigration papers. Β All documents needed to be authenticated, recent, and properly stamped and signed by authorities. Β Requesting for a document was easy, but it was waiting for the release of these documents that ate up most of my time. Hence, there was no room for errors. Β I had to make sure that I Β filled up the papers correctly and submitted it to the right department.

It is true that all long waits will come to and end. Β My long wait ended 14 months after I initially submitted my documents. Β My hard work and patience paid off when I received my Visa. Β One thing that I learned throughout the whole process is that nothing is easy and every hard work will be rewarded in the end.
