That isn't surprising considering how the system works. The process isn't transparent enough, so we can only make assumptions about how the government processes our applications and why delays happen.
The consensus is that a lot of VO process applications extremely fast (60-80 days AOR to CoPR, while the pre-covid norm was 4-6 months), but getting assigned to Montreal or Vancouver is a sentence.
Yes these offices may be longer. But how does that equal "lazy VOs who don't want to work"? It doesn't. 1`
This means nothing. They shouldn't draw more people than they can process in a reasonable time.
It was a political decision, that quickly overloaded panel physicians in Canada, and most likely will lead to further delays in processing for all of us.
Again, you can have that opinion that they shouldn't have done it. But that doesn't change the reality nor does it impact the processing times.
I suppose most people just want to have a predictable timeline.
I, personally, don't care if it takes 1 month or 6. I just want to know an exact date when I'll get my CoPR or deportation order.
It's unfair to see how someone who applied two months after you gets CoPR while you're still sitting with a pending Criminality check.
It's not a "first come first serve" system. You have no idea why someone's took shorter than yours. They might have applied before. No two applications are the same, so similar timelines can't be assumed. And how do you expect them to tell you the exact date before they've processed your application? Sure, I would like an exact date too but that's unrealistic. As for fair, when you have 2 exact same cases with the exact same circumstances and one is treated different, then you can argue fair.
You're right, most of us are already in Canada. We were already put under scrutiny during work or study permit applications.
It just makes even less sense to hear about RCMP, CBSA, or intelligence agencies in this scenario. It's clear that we were thoroughly checked.
Student visas and work visas absolutely do not go through the same scrutiny as PR. The stakes are way higher for PR.
And, as I've said before, how does creating a total myth of lazy officers out to intentionally delay your application help anything? What is the whole point of expressing that unfounded viewpoint on a forum meant to support people?
