While it's understandable that a lot of us are frustrated about how long the process is taking, I think some of the negative reactions are unwarranted. There is still a due process that has to be followed and these agents working are humans like ourselves. All work places both in the private sector and government have challenges. I see some of the reactions on how long the process is taking and granted it is taking too long but, Patience is a Virtue. Instead of focusing on the negatives why not remember that it has been a long and highly unpredictable year and our applications are still being processed gradually and not being put on a complete hold until further notice?
I also see people complaining about ITA's still being sent out while we are still waiting, put yourselves in the shoes of those who have also been in the pool for some time. They also deserve some sort of news, don't they?
Mind you I've been in Canada for 7 years (as an intl student and foreign worker) also and my AOR was at the beginning of March. There are people that have been here longer and are also in the same position. There is a reason why we all want to get this PR, it could vary from person to person but still that is our common goal currently. This is an opportunity and not a "right" as foreigners. Please be sensitive to the fact that the negativity and disrespectful attitude can affect others. It comes across as being arrogant. Let's keep things light and show support to each other and not come off as ungrateful. Love and light
Good news is coming, have a great week all.
