lol....now you have a great arguement for why Canada > US !

I know that a few are approved quickly here, but it seems like most cases take years. We've discussed before how similar my medical history/issues are to your's......took me 3 years.

How does Canada deal with the amount that you get in relation to your previous salary ? Is this an amount that you could live on ? I'm planning on divorcing when my boys graduate high school and I will be kind of screwed financially then. I will hopefully be able to make it by moving to an area with a much lower cost of living, but that will be a long distance from all of my family who live close by now.
