So I sent the below email to new channels of canada to inform them about the issue that we all are facing.... If possible please write a similar email (or just copy and reformat) and send it to the email ids i am providing:
Respected Sir/Madam,
We, a group of 150+ applicants bring your kind attention to:
The selective negligence of IRCC CPC Mississauga office for family sponsorship Files submitted since mid to early 2020
Some facts:
1. Given the Covid-19 pandemic – Case Processing Center (CPC) Mississauga was closed till September 2020 & that was understandable
2. Starting October 2020 – CPC Mississauga has been issuing PR visas to applicants who submitted their sponsorship file after February 2020 but have failed to process applications prior to that.
3. Under the leadership of Minister Marco Mendicino - IRCC has reopened all the visa offices except Mississauga & this means all other Canadian visa offices worldwide are issuing PR at normal processing times and even faster as compared to our applications
4. You can see from this Facebook group and Canada Visa Forums that timely processing has been applied even in this pandemic situations for every Visa Office other than Mississauga
What we have done so far :
1. We have contacted our MPs for update and even leaders of opposition but nobody seems interested in our plea. The best we have got till now is a Covid reply template from IRCC and our MPs and this further creates confusion and frustration.
2. We contacted the PM office and Marco Mendicino’s office and only got normal COVID delays as the reply.
3. We have legally paid all the taxes to this government as we are legit & proud Permanent Residents of this country and we ask for to at least have the right to see smiling faces of our family members besides us.
What we hope from you :
1. We request the media to bring this attention to public and also raise this issue with the prime minister during the reporter meet. We see that the PM is available every other day to answer reporters from his Ottawa office currently
2. We would be available for a zoom meeting if you need more proof regarding our situation
We hope for a positive reply from your side
Many thanks
From - Applicants waiting to see their family members
