Hello
Just heard that Warsaw office refuses Iranian applicants very quickly even without evaluating their applications properly. Does anyone know whether it is true? And are all of the Self employed pr applications sent to Warsaw office?

tnx
How quickly? I doubt. SE applications are first checked at CIO in Sydney NS before they are forwarded to the local offices (like Warsaw).
Now all the new applications (here i'm saying anything after Mar or Apr 2020) seem to be stuck in CIO...

Thank you for your reply.
Yes apparently we just have to wait. We received AOR in July 2021 and have been waiting but just heard very bad news about SE applications from Iran.
I heard from some immigration lawyers that applications from Iran are sent to Warsaw after checking in Sydney. And unfortunately most of them have been refused in just couple of days in the last few years. Even though they were considered As strong cases.

Your lawyer may be correct from their experience and up to date information. I have no means to verify what's said here.

But just according to this online directory, the local office that deals with Iran cases seems to be based in Ankara, Turkey.

I think there has been at least one SE case here that was processed in Warsaw... and it was a really long wait. Applied probably in 2018, still pending in 2020.
I don't know whether they have received the decision yet. I hope they had.

I have applied 1 months ago on online services. Processing is working i so slowly. I hope the trucker protests do not affect the process.
Please show me what the AOR response looks like. I submitted it 6 months ago, it didn't come to me. Maybe I did something wrong? Please tell me did you tie your application to the GCKey? or the GCKey is only needed for paper filing. please help me figure it out

My lawyer sent my application. He sent it from the system registered in his name. I just checked the documents on the link I sent.

Hi, I received a temporary file number for my self-employment (athlete) file on August 24, 2020. To date (about 18 months) nothing has happened. Is it normal for this part to last so long and Is the review process, which is 37 months, part of this time that has passed ? Also, what happens after this stage?
Thank you in advance

obviously, my google chrome shows old temp files. unfortunately yes processing horrible time is 41 months. which is extremely frustrating. I bet this Is because of the Ukrainian situation. things become blurry now. do we have to stop our lives until they decide to open the God damn backlog files?!! we are in a deep shit

The processing timeline for this category is indeed 41 months now. Just sit back and think for a second - 41 months! That's close to four years of your life just chasing a fucking application. For a country whose socio-economic future depends so much on immigration (and self-admittedly so), Canada's immigration policies, procedures and timelines are ridiculously and criminally inefficient. They should be ashamed to even call themselves a first world country. They have absolutely no clue what's going on with their applicants, their aspirations and their lives.#ImmigrationMatters? My foot. I am having serious doubts about whether it is even worthwhile to raise my children in a country whose government is full of such incorrigible idiots. Who do you think we are? Cattle? We come into your country with our education, expertise, skills, taxes, to redeem whatever little is left of your privileged social benefits that you are so proud of and clearly have no idea how to manage (look at what is happening to public education in Alberta, for instance, or to real estate in GTA), and THIS is how you treat us? What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you dense? Or trying hard to be? Disgusting!
