Why don't they hire more people to handle immigration cases?

OP won’t accept this.

That’s what I’ve been saying, only Canadians have the legal right to be in Canada. Being a spouse of one does not provide that right. They can be sponsored. They can be approved or rejected though.
I believe a spouse MUST be approved if they meet all the requirements. They cannot be legally turned down if they meet all the requirements. This makes it a right.

A privilege would mean that a spouse could be turned down, even if they meet all the requirements.

Nope. That’s not what the law states. But you’re gonna keep insisting anyway. Read. This just got boring again.
Seems like I've read the law more than you today! Maybe you are the one that needs to read the law again?

Honestly it is stories like yours that made me post this post today and deal with all of these haters. I will put up with all the haters if it saves just 1 family from having to go through what we are going through. 1 year is too long and I am sorry to hear it will take you even longer. I think it's wrong and it needs to be fixed! There is really no reason why the process should be this frustrating and the only way anything will change is if someone speaks out and says something!

Well I don't believe your cause is wrong. If I for once can help others I will for sure. We are all in the same boat and I am not sure yet but things can be done to always improve processes and procedures.

Recently I have seen so many people complaining about this process to IRCC, but in all honesty, do you think it matters? NO, it doesn't. Unless it is a common voice and presented thru proper channels.

Yeah I just don't get all the people telling me to be quiet and accept a slow and flawed system. All I am trying to do is help people get to Canada faster, but everyone seems to think that is a horrible thing.

Does it matter? no, no it doesn't. My spouses application won't go any faster because of this. That's why I give up on this thread. I have said everything that I have to say. I just wish future Canadian families did not have to go through this.

This forum is meant to help out people with their applications and in most cases its people needing help regarding filling forms pre submission and later on people keeping track of each other’s timelines. Everyone replies here by taking out part of their own personal time in assisting so be a little respectful of people that take time out to reply to you. You put up a rant thread which is fine, its a public forum you are well within your right but get this, no one told you to accept a flawed system but all they did was explain why the system is the way it is. You want people here to accept and say you’re right but you yourself dont keep an open mind on what others are trying to explain to you. Had you done that people would have been more willing to empathise. You say you’re trying to help people get to Canada faster. I am sorry to say this but you aren’t adding an ounce worth to fasten the process by arguing or starting a thread on a forum that majorly deals with application based discussions not flawed immigration policies. If you really want to help people that you claim, use the right channels, oppose the current regime, bring about a change and when you successfully do so, come here and share it with others. That way people will be more understanding and accepting of your need of doing good for ‘Future Canadians’ as you say. And just to be clear, immigrating to Canada for the non Canadian spouse of a Canadian Citizen is not a legal right for the spouse. YOU have the right to apply and bring your spouse to Canada and yes like you said, if they meet all the requirements they will be allowed to enter Canada no one’s questioning that. But understand this, If the non Canadian spouse had a legal right, there would not be many Permanent Residents (and even some naturalised Canadian Citizens) that get deported back to their country of birth if they pose a serious threat to other Canadians after securing this so called ‘right’ you claim they have . So Good luck with eradicating the flaws and hope you change the future of your ‘Canadian’ families by actually implementing more than just a rant here on the forum...

I said if a spouse MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS. I think people in here don't even read or understand what I say....

No, your statement has NO basis in fact, logic, or reasoning. Please just stop.
It’s still not a right ! It’s a privilege . I think you are frustrated as a lot of us are with the wait. Stop comparing your app to others , get yourself some patience and wait.

Did you read his story? No wonder why his application is taking so long. He had some issues at the border... I did not bother to read more.

It is in the best financial interest of Canada (in my opinion) to hire more workers and get these future Canadians here earlier. This would help to grow the Canadian economy....
So, you're happy to pay double the application fee to pay for these new workers?

it's frustrating alright but you should be glad that its max 1 year instead of 2 years, back when the conservative government was in power and it was choose and pick base on your "nationality" (kind of still plays a role now) "whether letting you in would be beneficial to canada". and plus factor in a lot of immigration frauds, fake marriages, how fast people submit their additional documents, canada takes care of its people first they're just being careful and it's their job to prove what's legit and what's fraud. just chill out and wait

I just don't understand how they can process someone in 14 days and other people in 1 year. That seems like a very wide gap. Canada doesn't seem to give a crap about your family or mine. They care about workers....
these express entry are not just for contract workers but also people with urgent family emergencies... do u have an emergency that your wife needs to be here asap?? also for a guy living here for 30 years in canada you should somewhat know that canada lives off its tax payers money, like a natural resource lol.. for an entrepreneur person who has a business, why not travel and visit your wife? and you say you want to pay double the tax? go buy a plane ticket asap you seem so desperate. just like the rest of us here wish we're like you with deep pockets and visit our families/spouse anytime we please.

I think he is "forced" to live in US with his wife because of some unpleasant experience at the border.
They didn't want to attempt crossing the border until she gets her COPR.
So everyday for them is a torture... cos of the unprepared situation.
If they were more prepared, they could avoid this. And waiting in Canada for the process would be less stressful for them.

Anyway, I don't think any PR is getting approved in days. (14 days were work permit... I believe)
Sometimes hiring more worker may not speed up applications. e.g. waiting for another country for security information of that person and their family. We got ours approved in almost 2 years back then. Luckily, my hubby applied inside and we just waited without leaving the country.

I believe a spouse MUST be approved if they meet all the requirements. They cannot be legally turned down if they meet all the requirements. This makes it a right.
Actually, if you met someone today, got married tomorrow and applied for sponsorship the next day, despite meeting the requirements (you entered into a marriage contract of your own free will, they aren’t a criminal or a terrorist), IRCC can still refuse your application. You can appeal, but the courts can still uphold the IRCC decision. So it’s not a right. You can apply, but there is no guarantee it will actually be approved. There a whole string in the family sponsorship section if people who’s spousal sponsorship has been refused for a variety of reasons.
