Feel quite lucky that I received it in just over two months!! good luck to anyone on their IEC journey! 🫶🏼

ahhhhhh ya girl just got her IEC visa to go to canada to be with my long distance boyfriend!!! I really could CRY!! feels like we have waited for this moment FOREVER!!! I want to do something cute and fun to tell my boyfriend but I don’t have any ideas on how to do it. It doesn’t feel as fun to just say I got the visa lol, I was thinking of doing like a puzzle or quiz or something and make him figure it out! did anyone else surprise their partners with something similar and have any advice? 🫶🏼

also if anyone is struggling in long distance relationships wondering if it’s going to work out, IT WILL! I struggled for years with anxiety and stress and now look at me 🥹🥹🥹

I messed up on my application and didn’t include the proper police report and after I did my application I realised but I completely forgot to add it using the web form and I got an update on friday to say I needed to submit it which I did straight away. Obviously I know it’s been the weekend so that will be why I haven’t received an update yet but roughly how long have people waited after submitting additional documents? I’m not moving to Canada until October so if it’s going to be a while again it’s completely fine, I’m just very impatient lol! would appreciate anyone’s wait times after submitting additional documents! 🤞🏻
