Agreed. It's simply depressing to do your best as a Citizen...pay taxes and not abuse the system and get stuck like this when trying to establish own life.
As tango47 puts it, that sponsors who have just got their PR, have their sponsorships fasttrack and many of us who are Canadian Citizens takes so long. Only IRCC knows the way they work, for what it seems that they don't operate on a well structured procedure...
"After reading extensively through these forums, it's clear that there's no logic or sense in the manner that IRCC operates. Some sponsors, who themselves have only recently obtained their PR, have their family class applications approved in fewer than 8 months. Other applications , that are complete and straightforward, get stuck in an interminable queue . It seems that some of it has to do with the VO. Mexico City, for example, is in permanent MANHANA mode." (Quote from tango47)
