Today I had tried to get appointment to meet Minister of Immigration. I also visited the office but staff did not let me talk to Minister. Answer was.
1. I can not meet minister of Immigration because it is conflict of interest. Even i said, i have general question. e.g how much average time (Time frame) it would take to complete file in Pending review. Also I said, I am not here to inquire about ONLY my file. On the other hand office staff said, Minister only meets to constituents
2. Staff also said there is no way to find how much time it would take to complete the file that is in pending review. Very sad
. Even one of the staff member said. Reapply the file coz it may be processed faster. Very frustrating. One thing I have noticed the staff working at these MP offices are worst . They have no knowledge and they have no idea what they are talking about. I don't know how all this is working and going on. Very frustrating. May be some one also have same experience
3. Still i am not able to understand, How a department is not answerable to a Minister itself?
4. I can only meet my MP. Minister's office will contact my MP about the issue. Minister office won't contact CIC for me
5. One answer was, It is not office of Minister of Immigration, it is office of a MP. Even i had called both numbers from parliament website. Actually , i had requested that it is 7th year since i had applied and CIC is not able to check my eligibility yet
Just writing here my experience, i am going through. I think better way is to just request GCMS notice under privacy act every month and wait and wait with high spirit
