Zaamin brother,
Welcome aboard!
Have patience and keep praying for good results and don't loose hope - CIC will get back to you with positive results soon - inshaAllah!
I never applied for CAIPS nor I will do that because I think that's a wastage of time and other thing is they sent me objection letter but I responded back to them with tons of proofs; so, I am confident that their objection must/should be over by now.
Each month, I send them one email inquiry (I started doing this in June - 2011) to get the status and to tell them that I am still alive and waiting for the results
and I got reply to my all of emails (so far, I think I have sent them five emails in last 17 months)
My advice to you is, don't send CIC too many queries and try to stick with once a month query; you will start seeing their replies - for sure!
Like you mentioned, you have some pressures from back home, I would suggest, apply for CAIPS as that would help you in telling your family that you are doing something here and its not just them who are waiting for visa but its you too who is working hard for visa. Also, I am not entirely sure about your case complexity so don't go for me and apply for CAIPS to see the notes from visa officers.
Lastly, after all everything is in hands of Allah and when the good time will come then our spouses will be here in Canada - InshaAllah!
May Allah bless you!
Salam.
