I definitely understand the frustration exhibited by some here. To a point I do not believe it is entitlement.
I will take my own case for example, I am already a taxpayer here, but cannot have access to most of the services (temporary worker status).
The process taking too long will have serious consequences for me : an extension requires me to purchase yet another insurance policy (for how long ? 6 months ? a year ?), plus the fees, that is expensive.
For me it's either that or an unnecessary and more importantly unplanned trip back home, combined with job loss and the inability to commit to anything long term once back there. The worst in all is that according to whomever I had on the phone, security/criminality checks are not even started (6.5 months in now). Today my MP hasn't replied in now a full week about my inquiry. All the while I keep contributing, and have been doing nothing but that, since I'm here. I do not really know the words to describe how it makes me feel, but certainly not good. I do not think it would be entitlement to be less than pleased with such a situation.
On the other hand being angry won't make a file go faster either, and I have now idea how to deal with the extra stress this is incurring. Personally right now I cannot enjoy my time much, I don't sleep as well. It is taking a little bit of a toll on me. I need holidays, which I haven't had since landing here... Boy when I get the papers I might just go and take 3 weeks unpaid.
