Finally, many of us are getting to understand why CIC was not clearly responding to delays in processing Spousal applications. They were waiting to announce the Cut on Spousal PR Applications. If I got it correct, perhaps the no. of Spousal PR visas for 2024 has been reduced by 12,000?

Families that applied earlier in 2021, 22 and 23 are still waiting to hear anything back from CIC, while Outland applications from February 2024 have started to get their COPR. This is completely outrageous. With the recent announced cuts in Spousal PRs, the backlog will start to grow and families will be made to suffer for years without any information on how long the process will take. CIC should be forced to publish the backlog no. of applications from 2021 specially for Spousal PR Sponsored by PR or Canadian Citizens. And if CIC really does not have capacity to process the growing no. of applications - why not shut down the intake of new applications. First process 90% of the backlog from the last 3 years and then start to take new applications in the pipeline.
Please write to your MPs, tweet or if you happen to vlog - raise the voice - specially if you are a Canadian Citizen, working, doing business and paying taxes - ask your MP to demand from CIC actual Backlog numbers of applications within each separate streams from 2021 till 2023. Lets tear the curtain behind which CIC officers hide their inefficiency and complain and cry about the sheer volume of applications.
And yes - if you happen to be at Tim or any food chain close to any IRCC office, next time you see an IRCC officer enter your shop - ask them to stand beside the door. The moment they ask - tell them their ENTRY IS NON-ROUTINE. Just wait for your turn, the longer you wait 'quietly', the quicker you will take their order
