Not to compare apples to another country's apples or anything, but to get the same exact criminal record takes an hour to process in Korea (plus time for shipping) and 150 days to process (plus time for shipping) in Canada. I for one am thankful that aside from the criminal record thing I never have to due business with the Canadian government again. Good luck with that, also if you have some time Wednesday and want to get together for lunch or something send me an email. I have the day off and no plans. Nathan,

It is also possible that Chae Young will have to leave Canada pending approval of her visa.

Maybe I will take a look at the Embassy site. My daughter-in-law is starting to worry because some of her "friends" are telling her it takes a long time, lol. Thank you, Wyatt!

To my knowledge the interview is pretty much the final step before one is allowed to immigrate. From what I've heard at the interview people will be told "Yes," "No," or "Present some additional / corrected documents and come back again." So unless she got the hard "No," your son's wife should be able to leave by December. Not that I'm a US diplomat or anything. :) Cynthia,

My son's wife is working on hers and is worried she won't get it by the time he has to leave back to the states in Dec. She has already done the interview. Hi Wyatt,

It's definitely one of the more regrettable/embarrassing albums in my collection. Yes, I do remember Sugar Ray…because, sadly, I own that cd.

If you know how to get it so that there's a recent comments this in the sidebar let me know. Otherwise I have to go find a walkthrough in which people use words I don't understand. :( Ailinn, That's always the goal! I for one wake up every morning (do you remember that Sugar Ray song...or Sugar Ray period) and the first thing on my checklist of shit to do is "not get kicksploded." I usually am successful. Andy,
