Easy to see how they are helpful with couple of examples:
I don't think anybody's gloating. People are just providing info that could serve as a metric for others with similar timelines. Sometimes it helps others raise questions with IRCC if anyone's stuck at a certain step. So I do think it's helpful in that way. I'm sure people's doubts and queries are getting answered as well when posed and explicitly asked for.
Well, here's a clarification about what my first line is about - people without any complication in their applications, simply passing judgements like "it seems FSWs are getting processed quicker", while bragging about how their application is being processed quicker as well. I now you had said earlier that it's not helpful to think of "why not me" but it's really difficult not to think that way with posts like that going around, isn't it?
All of these applications were based out of India. Another common things is all of them had Canadian education and took points for some Canadian work experience.
Well, the timeline you posted didn't match mine, even though I have a similar AOR. What an I to do with it? Was it helpful in any way other than make me anxious? No. Do I wish I had a similarly quick processing done? Yes. Do I wish that yours gets processed quickly? Of course. Do I wish people don't act all pedantic while being in a better position? Yes, please!
Two different things, aren't they? Timelines are what makes everyone so excited about these threads - gives hope, makes someone smile, helps someone feel accomplished (weird, but it does). Tbh, they are the actual fun part of these threads. The whole point is to be happy about processing of anyone. If you see it in that way, you have a very happy community.
I think lack of the need to translate documents is also impacting a bit. Most documents from India are in English and don't need RROC or any other localization team to validate.
Well, you can refuse to not come to this thread everyday to read other people's timelines and interact only when you have actual queries? How can you just assume that I'm gloating by merely giving a detailed timeline with the mere objective of adding to the datasets and providing a measuring stick for others. They can compare their situations and raise questions accordingly. It's a community in the end. I am just providing info that I know and have discovered in my experience, it may be supportive and bring relief to some, it may not to some others. But isn't that what the whole point of this thread is? Sharing their PR application journeys and experiences?
I only joined this forum after AOR. It was fun to share my timeline, see other timelines, and made some great friends here. The best part is that you don't have to be alone when you go from ITA to Landing - so much support and help here.
I don't think we should compare to other applications, I depends on several factors, we don't have all the same officer, the same documents... Etc
It's the tenth day for you still, comfortably short of the third week. I guess I came off a bit strongly but the point is, even I'm from India and FSW-O. The generalisation that you made was, I'm assuming, based on a relatively small sample size. I didn't mind your timeline, that's usual but the confidence in your observation was based more out of your own experience and that of those around you, rather than rooted in the wider reality.
How do you sound like a saint everytime you type something? I mean, come on
If you don't mind my asking, do you have Canadian education or work experience?
