Re: [Canada Inland Spousal Sponsorship Petitioners] Dear Hedvig Christine Alexander , an advocate f... Dear Eric and the rest of the group, Being an immigrant myself who waited almost two years for my permanent resident status I am interested in your stories and feel of anyone for whom the process is difficult or slow. But I am only the spouse of the minster and have no authority or power to make a great difference in these matters. My experience was that the system after all did work. I know that many people are working on making the process faster and better.

He is a construction worker and is sometimes laid off due to a project finishing. Because I cant work, we are living on his income. I feel helpless when it looks like he wont be able to find work. He has an eleven year old daughter a Canadian, who is my step daughter. Her mom is dead. I have been in her life since she was five. We are terrified he will be unable to find work in town and have to find work up north for weeks at a time. We want to have another child but are unsure about choosing between hospital bills we cant afford or finding someone to help us at home and hope nothing goes wrong. I want to buy my child books from school book sales, hot lunches, and treats. I feel sad and helpless when we cant afford it and I cant work to get her things she wants. the best I can do is stay home and save our family money in child care. If processing time were faster than 13 months for inland sponsorship, I could work and my Canadian born stepdaughter would have what most other Canadian children have - a two income household continually above the poverty line.

As a popular immigration nation a delay is also understandable.
