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 !
