It feels like it is, but with it being November next week and with it being Christmas soon...January will be here in no time
Oh my Godness ! I was under the impression that’s it’s only up to 12 months for the whole process ! Now I see people passing one year !! This is so depressing !!! My husband in Abu Dhabi too we applied in May 2018
Oh okay. Yes..so that's where our file is at.
Hopefully things will move along quickly for all of us.
@sahar, wow almost a yr and a half. That's a long time. Is it not a straight and simple case? So guess my husband being a Feb 2018 applicant shd just sit and wait patientlyIt feels like it is, but with it being November next week and with it being Christmas soon...January will be here in no time
Had a criminal record from when he previously lived there as PR. They were minor charges, no jail time, and over 12 years ago but they still denied him
No, I guess not as simple according to IRCC.@sahar, wow almost a yr and a half. That's a long time. Is it not a straight and simple case? So guess my husband being a Feb 2018 applicant shd just sit and wait patiently
Patience is definitely key. Hopefully you'll be done in 12 months or less. It's really hard to say. Each application is so different.
