****JULY 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

[umairz]

At least someone has looked into the file. July 19th applicant here and no word since file transfer to Colombo. Not a request...nothing. Background check hasn't started either.

Desperate times man! Not sure what to say or do...…Looks like we are in for a ride

I feel you're frustration.

I bet on the LEAVE part , they requested additional marriage photos in March which we did send next day. Our BGC didn't even start yet!

Stay positive guys. I had lost hope but everything happened within 3 days. I am sure that we will get awesome news.

I hope we all see an end to this nightmare. It's difficult staying positive on days...it doesn't make sense in what order they process files. My cousin sponsored her husband in October and he got his PPR. Here I am waiting and pregnant with no update since the file transfer. Even GCMS notes suggest no one has reviewed file yet making it all more depressing. But i hope its soon for all of us.

I like the way you put it "...this nightmare" and it is true that this process is frustrating, depressing, and at times difficult to be positve especially when you are going trough that long silent waiting period and nothing moving. However, at the end is worth all the pain, because we are given the possibility to start a new life with our loved ones and take advantage of all the opportunities that Canada has to offer.

Nightmare will be understatement, to be more serious looking at this from my own perspective this is the most useless immigration department In today civilized societies, even their automatic phone service is not working for the past 3 weeks no one dice it , and the minister keep calling for more immigration to come over to Canada when they don’t even have the capacity to handle the application they have at hand .. July 6th my timeline 9 days left nothing like Pre-Arival , everything is just quiet like immigration department is on holiday..

Yeah this is painful. We all are hanging on someone else's mercy to start our lives. Imagine that. So much for living in a free world with free will.

After reading extensively through these forums, it's clear that there's no logic or sense in the manner that IRCC operates. Some sponsors, who themselves have only recently obtained their PR, have their family class applications approved in fewer than 8 months. Other applications , that are complete and straightforward, get stuck in an interminable queue . It seems that some of it has to do with the VO. Mexico City, for example, is in permanent MANHANA mode.

 

[Radipol]

Agreed. It's simply depressing to do your best as a Citizen...pay taxes and not abuse the system and get stuck like this when trying to establish own life.

Most of us are waiting without even pre-arrival. The fact you have the pre-arrival you should be laughing right now....

True, still waiting for even pre-arrivals

That’s right, most of us still waiting for pre arrivals.

For me the last contact was in January when my BCG started and only 19 days to get the 12 month mark.

Likewise me still waiting for pre arrivals, 8 days left to get the 12 month mark ..the experience with this officer is just another horror movie ..

I don’t really need their pre arrivals anymore is of no use after waiting so long , all we need Is PPR, let them keep their pre arrivals

As tango47 puts it, that sponsors who have just got their PR, have their sponsorships fasttrack and many of us who are Canadian Citizens takes so long. Only IRCC knows the way they work, for what it seems that they don't operate on a well structured procedure...
