My Success Story - Albeit Of A Different Kind


By I2Landed




I have now decided to share my whole experience with Canadian Immigration, from the initial unsuccessful attempt till the reapplication and landing in Toronto almost 10 years in a blog. Accordingly I have started writing in a blog, the first posting being about my initial application until the denial by Canadian Consulate General, Hong Kong due to misinterpretation of a simple sentence in a supporting document by the visa officer. In second one, I have written more about my life in general, especially about the 7 year struggle starting with the second application until the grant of visa by New Delhi Consulate and my landing thereafter. I had encountered almost every conceivable problems with the application process along the way, and I hope the way I dealt with them will provide some guidance to those who need it in future.

These, and my future postings, can be viewed in my new website http://www.raju-thomas.com" rel="nofollow">LINK, which is still far from being complete. Incidentally, this website is more special to me since it is being developed and maintained by my young son, who immigrated with me to Toronto initially, and has now trying to establish himself as an independent web developer and content manager in Vancouver, BC.

This is my first attempt at publishing anything, not counting a joke which was published in Readers' Digest when I was 18. Hence, I would greatly appreciate your comments and suggestions about my posts in general, and my writing in particular.

Best wishes to all.
