WTF?!?!

[0sirys]

I am really quite insulted right now. I watch the Canadabound community as it is about migration and at one point there was a better chance I was going to Canada than us staying here, mostly I need my family and they need me due to semi recent events(those that are not just stumbling acrossed this journal know what i'm talking about if you don't

Was this kid directing it at you or the community, actually implying that people he was addressing were doing that? Or was he just bringing it up? you know, kind of like how I told you the other night that my ex "step mother" duped my dad into marrying her so she could get citizenship (and she succeeded)?

We all KNOW you and Shannon love each other and have the best of intentions. Who gives a flying fig what this punk ass stranger kid thinks?

nah he just wanted a cheap and easy way to get his ass acrossed the border. because he couldn't afford the 1000 dollar process fee and get 9k in the bank. boo hoo maybe try picking up a skill and go acrossed as a skilled worker, and yes i was insulted by your ex step mother as well. I would kick her if i ever saw her.

Hell, I'm not even insulted by my ex-stepmother. Disappointed and a bit upset that she left my dad in a bad situation and we fell for her scheme, but you know what? I never think of her anymore, and it has only been a little over a year since she left him. As a result of their few years together spending money and relying on her income as a nurse over my father's pension, she left him and he has had to file bankruptcy and move out of the country and he lost many of his "friends" who sided with her because of this cultural strong-ties-to-family-even-if-they-were-immoral-hosebeasts mentality. But what can I do about it? I've helped my dad with what I can. When the woman tried to get me, weirdly, to side with her so she could get more things from my dad (which she wasn't entitled to, and were of no real value anyway) I was an intermediary, made it clear to her that I was not going to be a victim of her childish antics, and never heard from her again. I think she went to California to try to marry a supposedly well-off man she met

I really meant no harm. I am sorry. I feel for you, but can you feel for me? I can pass the skilled worker assessment with a 72, thats more than you need. The reason I want to go to Canada is because my father recently died, and my grandfather just hard a heart attack yesterday, and I want to know them before theyre all gone. I can tell youre very upset... and I give you my full apologies. Please try to understand.

I had a friend have that happen: A ukrainian boy married her for that, she married for love and got so hurt.

Anyway, I have a good friend who moved to the states two years ago and got married. I meant to give shannon the email. This is a reminder

I truly understand your anger, frustration and idignation. It happens, sadly world wide in migration matters. It appears there are very few nations who do not have the same thing go on, that is marriages of convenience just to gain entry.

K and I had to prove without a shadow of a doubt that our relationship was / is real to Australian migration. We had to get letters from friends who knew us as a couple, provide phone bills, airline tickets, letters, cards, momentos of trips together, you name it. Even though we were married a while before we decided to come back to Australia, we had to prove our marriage was "real".

It was a good thing we were both sentimental packrats and had saved lots of IM conversations, kept journals and wrote about each other to friends in letters, saved phone bills and ticket stubs.

You and Shannon both know your relationship is very real and very loving. That's the most important thing. No matter what anyone else might say or think.
I wish you all the very best of luck dealing with immigration.
