Amman - Spousal Since January 2012 or Late 2010

[roro2012]

Dear Iraqi friends,
I just do not understand why CIC gave Iraqis PRIORITY PROCESS and they simply do not honour that ? Because of this priority process I went and got married in Iraq and before I got married i told my wife and family it would take a few months and she be in Canada. Wallah if it is not because of this priority process for Iraqis , I wound not go and get married in Iraq. Now it is more than a year and a half since I went and got married in Iraq and only God knows when my spouse is getting her visa. Now I wish I didn't go to Iraq. I am very disappinted. Realy . and to be honest i wish got married here in Canada. This is how I feel now and please do not blame because all of you feel also disappinted and maybe started much earlier than me .

you are completly right . Coz i have the same story my husband told me the same : it only a few months and you will be here in canda . I still wating and the cic increase the process time 20 months الله يكون بعون العراقيين وبعون كل واحد تبهذل من ورة هاي المعاملة ويارب تخلص وتصير سوالف

اشكرك صديقي يعني لو انا كنت بكندا واجاني قبول اوراق الهجرة ما فيه داعي ارجع سورية او اروح عمان
وكيف رح اعمل لو عطوني الاقامة الدايمة ما لازم اخرج من كندا
ولا مافيه داعي ممكن من كندا هادا اللي حابب اعرف

yes bassam. that is what the cic told me when i called them. they told me that once my immigration is done and you get the pr visa on your passport by courier like FedEx or DHL, you don't need to go back to syria or jordan. however, Yes, you'd need to leave Canada. this may be going to USA and then re enter Canada ( Landing). you have to make this landing. when i called cic they told me not worry about it now for the moment and to wait until i get the pr visa then they will help with it somehow. remember we need visa too to get to the USA, so I don't know. its complicated.

coming here as a visitor while you have pr application processing abroad is not normal process. nothing special about it. being in Canada as a visitor, doesn't change anything in your abroad application. you still need to get out of Canada and re-inter again for landing.

I have called the CiC and talked to several lawyers about "PRIORITY PROCESS" for iraqis. It was only available during the worst parts of the US-Iraq war. This PRIORITY PROCESSING Ended back in 2008, and is no longer available. They did a simular thing in the VO in Syria before it closed, though it only lasted a month.

I know people that have spouses in Baghdad ( which is still not 100% safe ) and still cant get any PRIORITY PROCESS, despite the constant struggles.

So we're all in this for the long haul

My friends the Priority Process is still on CIC webiste . Check at FAQ . As for safety and as per Canadian Standards Iraq was never a safe place and they advise everyday not to travel to as it is too dangerous. And that's why Canadians didn't open embassy or consulate there.

Yes your right .. it is still on the website, and Iraq is not a safe place and the CiC advises against traveling there, But if u call them and ask about Priority Processing, they will tell you, they will not do it. The only grounds for Priority Process now is if your spouse if in serious danger. Even then some of the people with spouses in Syria arent getting Priority Process still .

It is sad, but the truth

PLEASE READ THIS[

found in CIC’s Facts and Figures 2010.


/coloTo improve accountability and client service, in April 2010, CIC implemented a service standard for applications in the category of Family Class: spouses, common-law partners, conjugal partners and dependent children overseas. For these applications, the goal is to make a final decision within 12 months from the time the application is received at the Mississauga Case Processing Centre for 80 percent of applications. As of the end of June 2011, 75 percent of the overseas Family Class applications were processed within the 12 month service standard and 80 percent were processed within 15 months. It is anticipated that the new 12 month service standard will be met by March 2012.r]

My questions is : WHY DOESN'T THE 80% 0R EVEN THE 72% APPLIES TO US WE UNFORTUNATE IRAQI ?

CIC website changed their layout, I wish they spent that time and workers changing the layout on providing more officers at visa offices.

Salam, go to cic website and type in the SEARCH BOX: Annual Report to Parlimant on Immigration, 2011

When open U wii see Section 2 . Go down and U will find it under FAMILY CLASS


Annual Report to Parliament on Immigration, 2011

SECTION 2
Managing Permanent and Temporary Immigration
Family Class

Family reunification remains a key objective of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. To facilitate the reunification of families, Canadian citizens and permanent residents may sponsor Family Class immigrants—spouses or partners, dependent children, parents, grandparents and other close relatives—to become permanent residents. Sponsors must undertake to provide for the basic requirements of the sponsored person and his or her family members for a specified period of time. Sponsors of parents and grandparents and some other relatives must also meet a minimum necessary income test.

Regulatory changes to strengthen the Department’s capacity to refuse cases of suspected marriage fraud were brought into force on September 30, 2010. In addition, measures to strengthen the integrity of the family immigration program were pre-published in the Canada Gazette on April 2, 2011. The first would strengthen the provisions against family violence, while the second, as a deterrent to marriage fraud, would bar a sponsored spouse or partner from sponsoring a new spouse or partner for five years after becoming a permanent resident. Finally, a Notice of Intent seeking public comment on a proposal to introduce a period of conditional permanent residence for spouses or partners in new relationships was published on March 26, 2011, in the Canada Gazette. This measure is also intended to address marriage fraud.

To improve accountability and client service, in April 2010, CIC implemented a service standard for applications in the category of Family Class: spouses, common-law partners, conjugal partners and dependent children overseas. For these applications, the goal is to make a final decision within 12 months from the time the application is received at the Mississauga Case Processing Centre for 80 percent of applications. As of the end of June 2011, 75 percent of the overseas Family Class applications were processed within the 12 month service standard and 80 percent were processed within 15 months. It is anticipated that the new 12 month service standard will be met by March 2012.

After reading this several times, I realized the 80% which they refer too is ALL the cases they deal with world wide. so I guess we're the "lucky ones" in the other 20% ..
