What if they lost our application? How will we extend our nomination them ? Bullshit not our mistake.
Yeah I agree that it is bullshit. Problem is: how can I say that they really lost my application or its processing is just delayed? I tried the webform several times and they always reply saying the same thing: that they don't have any information and could not locate my application even though I attached the tracking history (showing that the package was delivered in Sydney), the receipt showing that I paid the $2820 fee, etc. What else can I do?
They say: call Canada Post and ask them for information... Really? Well, I did that and they state the obvious: if the tracking shows that it was delivered, it is because it was. Nothing else I can do...
Next step is probably email MPs and immigration minister, maybe the media as well, because honestly, this is not my fault. I want my PR, got provincial nomination, I work hard, pay taxes, there is nothing to come back to in my home country.
I just called IRCC and spoke to an agent, she was very kind, but no temporary AOR for me. She talked to her boss, apparently things are getting worse and delays are even longer. She said that if by the date my WP expires (end of Oct, 2021) I don't have any application number, that I might be able to do something. She also said that Quebec PNP applications are taking 1 year for AOR. According to her, even pre-Covid19 the delays were getting longer in the paper-based process.
Bottomline: this is not gonna be a merry Christmas here. Anyway I wish you all a merry Christmas and hope that 2021 will be much better than 2020!
