I feel sorry because my 3 months' timeline seems to raise jealousy and / or discourage. My intention to share was to bring hope and encouragement to LCP PR applicant 2015, not the other way around. I am a firm believer in karma, what you sow is what you reap
. Indeed I was jealous when my friend got faster initial timeline but instead of "blame" her luck or self-pitying my misfortune, I try to think what makes she deserve such happiness. What can I do to get the same or even better thing. Should I pray more often? Should I be nicer to people? Should I spend money for charity? Should I do volunteering? Etc, etc.
Talk about waiting and luck , there are some married applicants from 2010 who are still waiting or if we talk even further, there are people who are still outside Canada looking for employer who willing to give LMIA. Even before I get my PR , I am consider myself lucky, not only I am already in Canada but I also finished 2 years requirements
And talk about new path, I think new path works faster because there is not so many applicants yet. As far as I know both applications go to the same address in Vegreville but different room no. So I think CIC allocate certain numbers of officer to handle each stream. Naturally, this new officers handling new path work faster because there isn't so many load yet , far opposite from officer who handle old LCP program , not only they have to work 2015 case but they also have to handle backlog from 2010. But what do I know ? the time I submitted my application I prepare myself to wait for uncertain time but I believe CIC officer work as best as they could to finalize my application. It's not that they are being slow intentionally but there are some rule to follow, data to check , record to verify , etc,etc. Try to put myself in their shoes, I don't want my country is filled with some unknown people who have a potential do harm to the citizens and /or to the country.
From the applicant side , people do realize, there are few additional document if you choose new path, like education and language assignment , which cost you not only money but also time. And they also take a risk because there is cap for the new path (even I don't think CIC will reach this year's cap for caregiving path). But anyway put it short , they also did their sacrifice. Let's not compare who did more than who. No one force us to choose either path. We choose the path our self. Consciously.
But if you still feel unsatisfied about how your application is being handle , as far as I know, you can cancel your application at any time (as long as it's not AIP yet, CMIIW ) and submit new application with new path. To wait or to resubmit, whichever make your heart at ease
In the end of the day , complain won't help to make anyone application being handled faster. But I believe positive thought , optimism and pray would
I am sorry if my post sounds boring . I just want to share the lesson I earned during my working&waiting time. I got so many help from the people I don't know and probably I will never meet in this website. Even sounds hard to believe, I hope my post now will brings some encouragement to those who are still waiting.
