Visa Office......
London visa office
We are looking at least 1.5 years for processing for Pakistani applicants.

In 2018, people whose files were transferred to London (you can see this thread by going back) it took on average 6 months for their file to start getting processed by London office, and another 4 months until DM. So 10 months plus 2 initial months (SA, MED, BM), around 12 months.

But those days are long gone. There have been no file transfers since December to LVO. 7 MONTHS and no transfers.
Even if they get transferred now (which looks remote), and after transfer even if you take 8 months. Then we are looking at 1.5 years best case scenario.

That's why I am asking everyone to officially complain, so that at least if this issue is recognized then they move our files to be processed inside Canada or by some other office. Or ask LVO to speed up.

I wonder how you scared people don't want to do anything, 1.5 years is a long wait. That too the first 2 years of married life, that is supposed to build relationship. On phone it's never the same. Secondly, if you have a newborn in this long time, adding it to application is a whole new pain in the ass. With further delays to application. Or may be we even hold on producing kids for 1.5 year + 1 year for them to be born = 2.5 years after marriage best case scenario.

What a joke !

Please file your complains here: https://secure.cic.gc.ca/feedback-retroaction/feedback-retroaction-eng.aspx
Even if anonymous. Tell them this all unfair process for Pakistanis @ LVO.

That's totally wrong
He can apply for temporary visit any time and it's not going to make his file complicated as you said please don't give wrong information about something you don't know.
I know many people got temporary visa after they applied for PR application, I also know many people from Pakistan their file has been completed in less than a year from LVO.
Thank you for the response. I will probably end up applying for a visit visa for her

Unfortunately she cannot apply for temporary/tourist visit anymore once her spousal application is submitted, it will be denied automatically since she is already in the system and is not allowed by Canada, you may further complicate her spousal application. Majority of Pakistan applicants will be transferred to LVO and take the whole year November 2019 before you hear from them, after medical is completed and passed, the waiting & countdown game begins. Suggestion, do not apply for a tourist/temporary vistor visa for your spouse, you will complicate her application you might be subjected to questioning.
Yes she can apply, there are many applicants who applied for their visit visa and they got it as well. She can apply but she gets it or not that is another story.
