Well 12 months is the end of November, so I guess if this isn't solved by new years after my Christmas visit. I'll be bringing wife and kids back for a visit in hopes this will be solved by june 2021. Honestly I've lost all faith in the system at this point. Processing applications with some at 5 months processing time and others at 15 for no apperent reason to make your average 12 months is a totally biased way to run the system. It shows 0 compassion for the families involved here especially when you call and get to hear how the government is trying to bring families together for 45 minutes after trying to call for half a day only to be told shut up it's not 12 months call back then and we will tell you what's happening. Luckily I have the ability (at great cost but still able) to travel back and forth between Norway and Canada. Immigration system kind of implies things will be done systematically not randomly. This is an immigration lottery not system. I am aware they said 1 year average processing but when you start processing some in 45% of the average time and others at 115% for no apperent reason your system is broken. I've said this on other forums with negative reactions just so anyone reading this knows your opinion won't change mine. In Canada we have freedom of speech which intend to exercise until and after this systematic failure is completed.
