Canadian Citizen Stuck with her husband in Syria because of CIC

I believe the interview was positive, however we have another problem. After 2 years of court in Ukraine, we still don't have the proper papers from the court for my daughter. We have the decision declaring the father as "unable to be found" but we will have to return to court to apply for another decision. So we are consulting the lawyer. This is a very difficult thing to get from the court in Ukraine.gcg000 said:
So we wait.
I wish you the best. Stay positive, stay in the moment and don't let the media reports mess with your head. I know it's hard when things are so unstable. I will be thinking of you when I am having a bad day. My wife and daughter are relatively safe for now.Thank you for asking about us when I know you're going crazy with worry.
In all honesty, you can reach out to the media if you like but I don't know if it will do you any immediate good. I don't know your circumstances but would highly recommend if you can move to another country temporarily, it will help process your application faster and be safe for your family. I wouldn't jeopardize safety of my family over immigration and I am sure you agree with that too.gcg000 said:
It's possible that the Minister could issue a directive. Unusual, but it's possible. If you notice on GCMS notes, there is a Ministerial Directive section.ra03ra said:
I also would agree that perhaps they should relocate to Jordan where the processing office is..
I've debated saying something on this thread, but here goes. You are not stuck in Syria because of CIC, you are stuck in Syria because you want to be there, you have the option to go back to Canada, but instead, you actively choose to remain in a war torn country (not CIC's fault, but your own).
All of us want our applications being processed faster and we all have different reasons, so I don't think your case should get priority over all others. As well, you sound very entitled--living in Canada is not a right, it's a privilege.

I chose to be in Syria with my husband and yes i do have the option of going back to Canada but my husband does not have this option and he will still be in great danger while your spouse will be hopefully safe in his/her country!Romania85 said:
I don't want to get priority over other family sponsored applicants! I just want the same visa office not to process the applications of Syrian refugees much faster than mine! Do you think its ok for CIC to process privately sponsored refugees applications in 10 months while processing applications for Spouses living in Syria in 15 months?
Processing times for spouses living in Syria went up from 13 months last week to 15 months do you think this is fair? Why would a refugee residing in Lebanon get his application processed in 8 months where my spouse who lives in the same country these refugees fled from has to wait 15 months?
Well, no, that's not fair. However, the times for my country (Romania) went up because they started taking applications from countries in the Middle East. I was expecting my straight forward application to take no longer than 7 months, but now, it might take double that (hopefully not though, fingers crossed!)
Do you think I should also go to the media and tell me how unfair it is that my VO is taking other applications instead of focusing on mine?
As well, it pisses the s*** out of me that applications from the US and other "Western" countries are processed within 3 months or less, while applications from Romania, which is in the European Union, take over a year to process. How's that for unfair?

Well, you just said you don't want your application being processed faster than applications from other countries, you just want yours to be processed at the same speed as those from refugees. So which one is it?gcg000 said:
