Why did the processing time change to 47 days..?

[Mrs.Purcy]

grrrr.. I expected to find out if I would get approve for sponsorship well within a time frame before I leave and go back to Toronto to wait for my husbands approval. Now it looks like that won't happen since they changed the processing time to 47 days! Do any of you have any potential reasons to why they've changed it to 47 days in Missisauaga? That's just ridiculous to me.

It's typically due to application volumes. The Mississauga processing time regularly goes up and down. Not too long ago it was around the two month mark.

Two months? Wow that sounds unbearable.. :'(

Not sure I would agreed that an extra month of waiting unbearable. A pain in the *ss? Yes. Unbearable? Not by a long shot.

I think the word unbearable is more appropriately applied to the visa offices that have three year processing times for spousal sponsorship applications.

But that's just my opinion...

Yh this is nothing I applied in December when processing was 28 days and it took 95 days for me to get SA

Luckily I'm a London applicant and should hopefully get pr this year there's a lot of people on here with much much longer processing times I really do feel for those people

Ya it's especially hard when you have to be away from your partner during the process.

It is hard, but that's why us as Canadians, who usually have a non visa-exempt spouse, should make the effort of visiting them more often.

 

[canuck_in_uk]

The processing time for sponsor approval was about 90 days when we applied in 2012. We sped through in a mere 60 days.

Not making light of your situation but 47 days really isn't long to wait.

 

[mikeymyke]

And also, not to make light of your situation too, but my wife's visa office has a 30 month processing time, and a low acceptance rate (72%), but London has a ridiculously high acceptance rate and their processing time isn't too shabby. Also as a UK citizen, he has a far easier time coming to visit you than my wife does. My wife's country is so shady, its one of 30 or so countries that demand biometric data prior to entry.

Waiting is tough, but just remember you're going to have a much easier ride than most people who have spouses in other less developed countries.

Agreed. I *censored word*ed and moaned about how long it took for the wife's PR application. However, at least the wife is from a visa exempt country that allows her to travel to Canada. I can't imagine having to wait 30 months. 47 days is a drop in the bucket.

 

[canvis2006]

this is nothing.

Back in 2012 it was around 90-120 days during these months, damn long time

 

[dozel]

It was 27 days when we filed the application.

That's what I thought. But I didn't want to say this because I was worried my memory was faulty.

It was around a month and a half when my husband applied in 2010.

I completely agree!
