Couldn't agree more! I see a lot of people that are being so demanding to this govt. For me, i am just thankful that i was accepted and given the opportunity to experience a better life here compared from where I came from. I also lived in Singapore and worked there for a year, i left because it is a lot difficult to get Permanent residency there. I have seen expats there that have lived for over 5 or 10 yrs ended up going back home. Canada is still the best choice for me.
These petitions show up every 6 months to a year. And, granted, inland was, at one time, 26 mos processing time. So, I agree and signed the petition to deal with that, and the backlog.
They have not only almost completely destroyed the previous backlog, but they've also all but honoured their 12 month promise, at the same time. All the while still dealing with a serious influx of refugees/asylum seekers.
I didn't think it would be possible, when they first announced it. But, here we are. A few (October -December) left over backlog cases, and they are starting to land 2017s. The scale of number of cases was in the 140k range, and they still receive 75k of family class PRs every year. When they started, they still had one case from 2014, some from 2015, and all of 2016. They've cleared nearly all of that. It's quite remarkable, when you look at how far we've come.
As I had to point out to another poster, no case is the same. They clear family members back home, plus the deep dive into your life. The entropy here is considerable. And if there is some document that's required, that also adds to mix.
All that's to say, yes it takes a year, there is a way to live in Canada, while waiting. Even work, if you so choose. But, given that they still have a small backlog, I think it's not fair to pepper them with demands, when the backlog still exists.
If there is still an issue a year after the backlog is gone, then bring it to their attention.
I don't mean to sound insensitive -- remember, I'm also a client. But if someone doesn't play devils advocate, it could grow out of control.
Sorry for the late reply! So my ECAS only saying that Medical results have been received although I got an email about I meet the eligibility require which I speculated as an AIP on July 2017. I checked ECAS on my sponsor side, it said Desicion made and I even paid for RPRF when I got AIP email.
Whenever I speak with service agent they only saying still doing background checking. Would be an delay issue that I visited my home country twice during the processing? Otherwise, I seriously don’t know why it took such long time.
There is a 99% chance that it's a security screening that's delayed your file.
CBSA (border services) starts a check into you to make sure that you are not linked to subversion of governments, terror, organized crime, human trafficing, etc etc. This check is done by the intelligence community, and their global partners. Because there are organizations outside of CIC, they cannot control the speed these are completed.
Well I wish all processing finish within 26 months. Thank you anyway profiler I appreciate. Please wish me luck!!
Best of luck. When did your sponsor get a DM? That's likely when they started the security screening.
To be honest, I’m not too sure. I never check ECAS on my sponsor side( because I didn’t know how lol) and couple months ago I figure it out and check it and it said DM. I guess by the time when I got AIP..?
If you click the link on the sponsorship application, you can see the date they sent correspondence (the last line, typically).
I have been following this page for a quite a while now and I want to sincerely thank everyone for the awesome posts. I have found answers to so many of my questions that werent cleared by my lawyer who we paid a huge fee!
Mine is a complicated case. My refugee case was denied. I started my sponsorship application in Nov 2016. Medicals were requested in September 2017 and no update since then. I do not have a travel document. I am bugged on and off by cbsa for a travel document. MP has been contacting IRCC on my behalf but nothing seems to work. Eligibility has not even processed.
Can anyone please explain if our file is on the right track? What is the step for an application where you cant provide a travel document? I am hoping Profiler can answer some of my complicated questions
Thank you
