Such a massive organization like IMMIGRATION CANADA is finding it difficult to hire capable employees???
I don't know about other provinces but Toronto Police and Peel police are constantly recruiting officers to combat the increasing crime in the city. I don't think hiring a visa officer is harder than hiring a Police officer … So the only answer to why they don't do it could be --- they don't think its necessary for them to increase resources, they think longer processing times are okay and if people are waiting desperately that's their problem to deal with... and after all that terrible wait doesn't harm anybody else other than the victim so why bother about it.
In the end, its their choice ... I will always be thankful to them for giving me a chance to unite with my spouse. Their immigration programs are like a blessing for many of us. But what pinches me the most is Mississauga vs. NDVO. If I have submitted everything as per application instructions, then why am I treated differently from others whose files were processed at Mississauga. I know someone who got PR in last year soon before getting married (international student) and her spouse received PPR in less than 3 months time from Mississauga. It's not fair to others who have spend entire life in this country and had to suffer due to longer wait times at NDVO... they may be doing their best, but this seriously effects relationships in a big way and they should seriously look into it. Spousal sponsorship should be given priority over all other categories like many other countries do.
