Today I completed 5,5 months after my AOR.
In ca. 2 weeks, my full six months will be over.
When I got my provincial nomination everybody was talking about 3,6 months of average processing time for PNP applicants.
Of course it is annoying and demoralizing.
The bitter lesson I had to learn is that nobody cares. For CIC we are fine numbers and statistics. For sure they can somehow legitimize the delay, besides there is no LEGAL OBLIGATION to process PNP files under a certain time limit. There is a declared intention to do so which is not binding at all.
For my part, I found the peace in accepting the truth. If you ask me what the truth is: we are subjects - people that have barely rights before immigration laws. This will not change until we become permanent residents. They define the rules of the game - and that's why they can change them deliberately whenever they want to according to their own interests. Although is sounds as if I am pessimistic I am not. I am only a realist. If you can't change the conditions then you should change your attitude towards them. Otherwise you will not only make emotional and irrational decisions but also mentally get crazy.
I know you all have expectations, personal difficulties, family issues etc. I have them too, believe me. Otherwise I wouldn't write this on my weekend and instead I would enjoy my life. I can't because becoming permanent resident is the precondition of normalization of my life. However, here I am, writing this in order to reach you guys to say: accepting non-fairness of CIC doesn't mean you have to like it or you should give up fighting. In contrary, it is a part of our fight - a test of patience, of durability, of capability of resistance. If you ask me whether I have them permanently, the answer is quite clear: no! But I am trying not to lose the control, to grit my teeth and WAIT THAT ALSO THIS TIME WILL BE OVER SOON.
My conclusion: you can't influence CIC but you can influence your consideration towards CIC - and you will see, SOON THIS WILL BE OVER guys, I can promise that!
My best wishes which means a SPEEDY PPR AND LANDING!!!
