FSW QUERIES-CIC SHOULD ONLY PROVIDE CONCRETE CASE-SPECIFIC REPLY.

[Krishnan]

HELLO FSW MEMBERS – SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!!

WHEN AN APPLICANT APPLIES ON HIS OWN OR THRU AN AGENT/LAWYER, THE APPLICANT IS KEPT IN DARK AS TO THE NUMBER OF CASES PENDING / IN BACKLOG, AND THE APPLICANT IS BLINDLY TOLD THAT THE TOTAL PROCESSING PERIOD OF THE APPLICATION TAKES PLACE WITHIN A SPAN OF 6 MONTHS.  IS THIS JUSTIFIED?
IF THE CIC HAD PROVIDED INFORMATION IN THEIR WEBSITE ITSELF OR ON EACH APPLICATION ABOUT THE NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS PENDING OR THAT IT WILL TAKE ‘X' AMOUNT OF TIME, THEN THE APPLICANT WILL THINK  AS TO WHETHER THE APPLICATION SHOULD BE MADE OR NOT. THE APPLICANT WILL ALSO NOT GET INTO THIS AREA AND GET DISTURBED UNNECESSARILY.

SECONDLY, WHEN AN APPLICANT MAKES QUERIES REGARDING THE PROCESSING PERIOD, THE APPLICANT IS EXPECTING SPECIFIC ANSWER RELATED ONLY TO THE APPLICANT.  BUT THEY ARE BEING PROVIDED WITH ELUSIVE REPLIES.  THIS IS AGAIN UNJUSTIFIED.

THIRDLY, WHENEVER CIC COMES OUT WITH A REPLY TO APPLICANT'S QUERIES STATING THAT "THERE ARE ARE OVER 425,000 APPLICATIONS TO BE PROCESSED, ETC."  CAN YOU PLEASE REVERT BACK TO THEM ASKING FOR CASE-SPECIFIC INFORMATION – I.E. THEY EXPECT REPLY ONLY FOR ONE (1) CASE (THEIR OWN) OUT OF 425,000+ CASES, AND NOT TO BE ‘TAXED' WITH EXCUSE ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL 424,999+ CASES.

FOURTHLY, THE VO REPLY STATES THAT “CANADA RECEIVED OVER 425,000 APPLICATIONS.....'.    -  WHEN THE APPLICANT IS SENDING QUERY ONLY TO THE PARTICULAR VO, WHY IS THE VO NOT RESPONDING FROM THEIR LEVEL AND IS REPLYING ON A GLOBAL BASIS – WHICH IS AGAIN NOT JUSTIFIED.  BECAUSE NO WHERE DOES THE REPLY STATES THAT THE PARTICULAR VO RECEIVED 425,000+ APPLICATIONS!!!

EACH AND EVERY APPLICANT HAS A FUTURISTIC PLAN WHEN APPLYING (BASED ON THE INITIAL 6 MONTHS PROMISED PERIOD) – WHETHER IT IS RELATED TO HIS WORK, STUDY, SETTLING, MARRIAGE, ETC.ETC.  WHY DID THE CIC NOT AWOKE EARLIER (REGARDING EXCESS APPLICATIONS) AND PLANNED THEIR FUTURISTIC COURSE EARLIER?

IF THE APPLICANT IS NOT ABLE TO GET PROPER RESPONSE OR TIMEFRAME FROM CIC, REMEMBER THAT HE/SHE IS PAYING DOUBLE-TAXATION – ONE TAX IS IN THE FORM OF EXCEEDING HIS PLANNED STAY IN HIS HOME COUNTRY AND THE RESULTANT CRITICISMS / DRAWBACKS / DISAPPOINTMENTS / FRUSTRATIONS, ETC. AND THE OTHER TAX IS IN THE FORM OF CIC EXCUSE BY LETTING THE APPLICANT KNOW ABOUT AN UNNECESSARY INFORMATION ON ADDITIONAL PENDING AMOUNT OF 424,999+ APPLICATIONS  – WHICH CAN BE AVOIDED AND IN WHICH THE APPLICANT IS NOT INTERESTED.

CIC, THE FSW APPLICANT DOES KNOW AND APPRECIATE THAT EACH AND EVERY COUNTRY HAS ITS OWN WAY OF VISA HANDLING PROCEDURES AND DOES NOT WANT TO INVOLVE IN ANY SORT OF CRITICISM WHICH CAN TAKE THE APPLICANT NOWHERE.  BUT ALL THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING IS A BIT CONSIDERATION AND JUSTICE WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING PROPER RESPONSE.  IS THIS TOO MUCH?

I agree but you need to remember that we are on the receiving end.
There was a time the process was mutual benefit unfortunately may be they are trying to get rid of
some of the applicant at this point. Good luck to all

Does any applicant or their consultant/lawyer does have information on how much backlog was prevailing
at the time the applicant was making an application?  If the consultants/lawyers did have the figures, then we need to
know as to whether the information was shared with the applicant before making an application.

BY DEFAULT THE APPLICANT IS ALWAYS AT THE RECEIVING END.

The question of the hour is why did they went on a attracting spree of '6 months'?  How does one get an answer for this.

If CIC itself does not come up with concrete & accurate replies, then how do you expect the consultants/lawyers to provide concrete replies to the applicants?
