Wow. Not exactly the kind of support you expect when coming to this group. You don't care about my situation or you don't agree with what I'm saying? Fine, but why do you feel the need to mock me and being sarcastic? Do you feel better now?
Family Class while living in Canada - deliberately delayed by IRCC?

The process is supposed to be first come first served but it isn't, which is unfair and unethical. I care about your situation as much as anybody else's but anyone who gets AOR BEFORE me should be someone whose application was received BEFORE me. I hope that you and everybody else who submitted an application after mine has to wait longer than I do because that's how it is supposed to work.
I totally agree, but blame IRCC not the applicants! I should be mad too! 80% of December applicants got AOR and I didn't, lots of 2021 applicants got it too, but it's not their fault, so I don't blame them. I can envy them, of course, but that's it. They got lucky, we didn't, so what's the point in taking it out on them? I get the frustration, but let's try to stay united at least among us.
I'm not taking it out on you. My point was that you have no reason to worry because there's a big delay and they aren't processing applications in order. Given that you only submitted a few months ago there's nothing unusual about you not receiving AOR yet.
You cannot judge what is happening based on the spreadsheet. Yes, it is a good tool to help get a picture, but the picture is only a very small part of the whole picture. Our little spreadsheet is MAYBE 1% of the entire amount of applicants, if that. You just because a cluster got AOR does not mean that everyone in that month got it or that most of that month got it. You have to realize that they have probably close to 100k apps by now. Last I had heard a definite ballpark number it was over 75k and they only have maybe 200-300 people working on our cases with the new additions. I am sure they have rooms of boxes of packages and it just depends on which box they have access to first and happen to grab. They also have a lot of pressure to pour out good numbers to make it look better to the public, so saying they did x % of applicants in under y months looks better for them politically. It's not right, but sadly our world runs on politics. Join an advocacy group and help petition for higher priority and more workers on spousal applications. I am personally appalled that they would prioritize all of the economic class streams when they aren't even letting them into the country. If they put those workers from one or two of those streams on spousal apps, they would have us caught up to date in a month or two.
