CHC London - when will this Big Freeze be over? qorax, seniors please help

[Mezo2009]

Fair Enough, but what I fail to understand is, why did they not resort to decentralization and giving more responsibilities and power to other Consulates in Europe or else where.
I mean, if they knew that LONDON was that burdened and overloaded already, why then did they decide to shift e.g ISLAMABAD to London, and London on the other hand is shifting cases to OTTAWA. The result is Islamabad applicants are frustrated as well as London applicants.
Is it sensible to put more burden (Load) on a Donkey that is already overloaded, hoping that the donkey will get/run faster?
Again, where is the sense in resorting to faster processing for new applications when tons of the same type of applications are sitting in queues.
Enough of the transparency and info on the websites. I personally do not think that what is stated on their portrays the truth though.
Obviously, people get frustrated waiting without knowing what is going on with their applications.
Is being kept in the dark for years the definition of transparency?
Try to put yourself in the shoes of applicants waiting for 3years and more. You will understand what I mean.

Good Luck.

Hello schwarzeradler,

I'm not defending CIC, and do truly believe performane improvements should be there to expedite the process. I strongly believe that there is NO deliberate action against people waiting their app to be processed.

There is always conflict of interests and various needs among major stakeholders and influencing groups with the Canadian business world, federal and provinicial governments and CIC is trying to achieve some balance.

Trust me, I know that waiting is painful, and as it's said, no pain no gain. I've been waiting for almost 14 months with no update since my app was filed. Each case is unique. Factors such as: nationality, places of residences, type of country and effectiveness of its judicial and intelligence systems,... All impacts the duration we have to wait.

Cheers!

Hi Friends,

It appears that the Big Freeze is getting over. This week 6 applicants got their status change to "in process"!! This is very positive.

Wishing good luck to all of us!

Well schwarzeradler, seeing how slow is London VO, I would even consider half that number to move into IP is really promising and relaxing.

A thing is better than nothing!!

Hi Friends,

I know there have been few threads on similar topics and quite a few discussions happening over other threads as well. But I want to start this thread so that we can all focus and analyze the probable cause behind it.

It has been almost 4 months now that CHC-London appears to have applied Big Freeze on Fast Track FSW (post-Feb 2008) applicants.Things slowed down since around last week of September 2010. Since then there have been hardly any status changes on Tuesdays (that used to be regular until then). There were only very few medical requests between then and now. And those who have sent medical requests have been waiting.It appears that there has been an arbitrary freeze applied. I have been following the cases on this forum, trackitt and britishexpats and it appears that the FSW applicants at CHC-London, who have sent documents after the first week of March-2010, have not heard of any change since Oct-2010. There have been neither RBVO to in-process change nor any further medical requests. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

It is very hard to believe that CHC-London did not work on our applications during this period. That certainly was not the case. It is obviously a policy decision to hold our cases for some time.

There was hope that it was happening because from Oct-2010 on it was the last quarter of the year. The new year 2011 has definitely brought cheers for many old applicants (prior to Feb-2008 and some old FSW cases who had sent medical requests) who have received PPR's, which is certainly a good sign. But even after three weeks into the year, we have neither heard anyone getting "in process" nor any further medical requests being made.

We should have heard of some applications making some progress. Why is it the case that we do not at all hear of status changes any longer or medical requests?
At this point it still appears that the Big Freeze is still on at CHC-London.

Guys, any idea when this will be over? We should at least see our cases moving. qorax, seniors or anyone else could you please share your thoughts? Thanks.

Regards,
amay

Folks,

Nice opinions and provocative thinking.

No matter if each of you is correct or wrong, the whole issue could be simple, London VO is in charge of almost 22 countries/regions, which is the largest among other VOs and this gives them the larger chunk of the load. It is this simple.

One more thing we have to realize that Canada and its immigration system is transparent and open to public. At CIC websites, there is huge wealth of information that can be used to truly reflect on the performance of CIC VO's. Even if there's a decision to slow down applications, such decision will be made public. Let's not get our mind twisted because of the twisted governmental practices we face in our countries and governments.

Be positive and patient.

Cheers!

Very impressive. Then did you get that information / updated policy of "SLOWING DOWN" the FAST TRACK Applications. Please share when you get it somewhere, so that we may also start thinking POSITIVELY...
Regards
