And we would expect such an important government organization to have something called as KPIs, and departments managers keeping track of these cases/workloads. I work in finance and treasury, and even a short delay in payments has to be explained and covid cannot be given as an excuse due to advanced technology available in this century. I understand that people say getting PR is a privilege, not a right - but my only question is why the partiality with the processing times then. We contributed the same as person whose file gets processed under 2 months. It's just unfair, but I guess it is what it is. Hope they clear our files asap..
