I really want to do something against all this but we also need to check if this increased time line is hurting only Pakistanis or other countries as well ?
I just saw this : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/fc-spouses.asp
Even an advance country like Singapore has 21 months time line, Abu-dhabi has 27 month...while India is still 6. So 101% favoritism and politics is going on...
I think , putting short listed categories in FSW, increased time line for parents to 7-8 years and delayed spousal process , these are all the signals that Canada is no more interested to give immigration to people from other countries and this is the best way to achieve the results. because people will never venture out and put themselves in this MENTALLY KILLING situation.... So i guess lets accept the reality and plan our lives accordingly.
I am seriously thinking to quit job in December, go back and spent whole winter there with wife while doing some kind of certifications or study to pass some designation etc - So at least i gain while i am there and don't feel wasted !!
Specially after getting this objection letter i am sure my case will never complete until next 8-10 months.. so better accept the reality and plan accordingly. I hope after i spend 3-4 months there... the next 3-4 months will be spent in peace here.
Unlike me , if you are already a citizen and don't need to complete days... I think in this 19-24 months of torture at least spend 10-12 months together and enjoy life... I now truly believe that mortgages, leases and jobs doesn't mean anything in life.. F it all !!! Better to enjoy rather than having regrets in the end ....
