Road To Canada Forums

I've made a decision not to worry about this application anymore...whew...(no more tossing and turning at night and no more bad dreams)...I am going to be thankful for what I have.

My spouse is here with me in Canada (which alot of ppl do not have) and we do not need to worry about getting a work permit anytime soon as I earn enough income for both of us to live on. My spouse received an excellent health report from our DMP and there are absolutly no issues regarding our police checks.

I have realized that the more I focused on our application the more anxious I became. I started to worry about every little thing, did we sign this or that, did we give enough evidence, is the csis review going to take forever, what if they don't understand our situation..etc...etc... Without realizing it I have become obssessive...so much so that it has effected my sleep. So I have decided to get off that merry-go-round and just let things run their course....after all what can I do to speed things up, not much...it's all out of my control....I guess for me its back to taking 'One Day at a Time' and a good nights sleep.

Great decision! Please do not end up like I did, frantic and all over the place, only to get my PPR letter two days later. I do hope things go smoothly for you, though!

Wow, great email. You made me realize how much I was obsessing, too.

That sounds so much like me it's scary. My husband at one point was telling me that worry is like a rocking chair - it gives you something to do but doesn't get you anywhere - so I'm trying to focus on getting through the day in as sane and productive a manner as I can. Except for the days when I spend way too much time reading the forums or the CSIS website etc
