41 months passed since IRCC has received my file.
Yesterday I got a response from my local visa office after my 3rd consecutive email. (they haven’t even replied the other 2 before that)
The application is in process and please rest assured that you will be advised as soon as possible when the case is finalized or if any action is required on your part. Please understand that sending repeated enquiries consumes valuable time and resources which could be used to process applications. Our office cannot provide you with updates on a regular basis. Thank you for your understanding.
This was my 10th email from June 2021 and my file is still waiting there “untouched”.
This is totally unacceptable. While people get their PRs within a year for the same program, why we “outlands” have to wait extremely long times.
And why nobody speaks about this craziness louder!
Is it really normal to wait 4 years to get PR after you’ve already waited many years for CSQ?
How people, ministry, member of parliaments etc. keep their mouth’s shut against this unfairness and dysfunctional immigration system?
There was no express entry stream when I’ve first applied for QSW program in 2014.
4 years for CSQ + 4 years for Federal = 8 years
I sent my files when I was 24, now I am 32.
I would easily apply to a dummy college with a low IELTS score and at most spend around 30k$ to get PR. And I would’ve been a Canadian citizen for years.
But instead I believed in the immigration system of Canada.
