READ this !!
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/3900E9.asp

What factors can slow down processing?

Here is a list of common factors that can slow the processing of your application.
•Incomplete or unsigned application forms
•Incorrect, incomplete address or failure to notify CPC-M of a change of address
•Missing documents
•Unclear photocopies of documents
•Documents not accompanied by a certified English or French translation
•Investigation of sponsors by CIC
•Verification of information and documents provided (e.g., there may be lengthy procedures for background checks in the countries where the applicant or his or her family members have lived or need for a second interview for additional background screening)
•A medical condition that may require additional tests or consultations
•A criminal or security problem (e.g., failure to declare family members or criminal charges pending)
•Family situations such as impending divorce, custody or maintenance issues
•Completion of legal adoption
•Consultation is required with other offices in Canada and abroad
Inquiring about the status of your application before the standard processing time has elapsed
•The applicant is not a permanent resident of the country in which he/she currently lives
•The applicant or his or her family members require an interview and lives in an area not regularly visited by immigration officials
•Photos provided by the principal applicant and his or her family members do not comply with specifications set out in Appendix C accompanying The Immigrant's Guide
It is very cruel!
We do not have right to be aware about our file's fate there!

Ramz, mine just said in process like last week! There's no sense to this process. I'm still waiting for mine to even say "medicals received"...but you know what, I'm not worried about it. Every case is different. Some people got PPR after 7 months, and others are still waiting for more than a year. Just know that your time will come :)

yes dear arezou, I really think it is so irrational.Sometimes I just think how people who have set these rules think about what they are doing and what are the reasons behind their decisions.I really cant underestand them,I wish I could ,maybe I could just bear it up more easily.They say we are putting priority on you but hey you should be apart ,why?why should be apart for such a long time and why we have to visit just for a few weeks!my mind is full of whys,well I think I am nagging,sorry guys.

OMG! We have sent them one e-mail after 6 months of silence. That means dont ask us if you do, we will slow down the process for you.Is that right?This is insane, you know what I am really thinking of getting back to my country.I just want to let anything that is going to happen just happen .I dont care anymore.
I am getting depressed :'(
Back in August, my husband and I were really fed up with the lack of communication. So I sent them the SAME email every day for one week, and then they sent us the RQ! Lol so I'm not sure how much of this "don't send us any emails or else we'll slow down your application" is true. It might be and we just got lucky, but I think they say that so people don't send them a lot of emails.

wow you are so brave.I was imagining that they say ok so you send us e-mail ,ha so go to the end of the line . :D I emailed them for 3 times at the begining of the process because they insisted that they did not receive my application following 40 days.And after 6 months it is our first e-mail so maybe if they dont answer I keep sending the same e-mail .Thanks I feel better now.

Oops, I missed the word "September" and just saw "one year" so thought you're apart for a year lol. Thanks A+M and Souhait :). It's also kinda heartbreaking when I'll have this goodbye sh** at the airport again, but I try to see the full half of the glass :p. I'll say hello to whomever partner currently living in Iran and waiting for Visa :p. Cheers.

I haven't seen my husband for 7 months, I miss him and because of the RQ that they didn't send me up to now he cant come back and visit me,
I hope that we have good news this month
