I am having an issue which I am unable to comprehend about our two tier Canadian immigration policy.
I as a Canadian citizen sponsored my wife from Pakistan since September 2010 and still waiting for her visa but there is no word from immigration department that how long would it take for her to get the visa. The timeline for the visa was 16 months when I applied but it is now past its timeline and there are many applications which they have process after mine but some applications are just put away for very long time, which does not seem appropriate somehow. besides other visas such as student, entrepreneur and visitor visa only takes couple of months but why some spousal visas applications are taking so long without any reason.
Two Tier system: Visitors visa in 40 days but Spousal visa could take 40 Months:
I would like to bring your attention to our immigration 2 tier system, while Canada is known to be quite a humanitarian country and accept number of refugees every year but at the same time its policy regarding spousal sponsorship from Pakistan is totally inhumane as to keep our loved ones far apart.
500,000 Visitors Visas issued in 6 months:
If Canada can Issue 500,000 visitors visas within the period of 6 months whenever it also require beck ground check and may even requires interview as well.
So why would interview for spouses take around two years from the time when application had been submitted.
Moreover spousal sponsorship includes marriage certificate translated in English and notarized, Police clearance certificate, medical certificate from designated doctor by Canadian embassy instruction, Wife name from maiden to married name & changing to new passport from maiden name to married name change process, and all the proof of wedding from marriage hall function with all the pictures and back of every picture write the name of all attendees and their relationship to sponsor and sponsored person, then for honeymoon trip tickets and receipts for hotels and restaurants and receipts of gifts purchase and write on the back of the pictures where have that picture taken and whoever is in that picture and the relationship to sponsor or sponsored and the date of every picture and also sponsor T1 tax return from last 2 years and job or business papers with many other forms have to filled out before application is submitted (which may take few months to get all the papers ready). And yet it takes years to get the visa whenever student visa or visitors visa is given in couple of months.
Permanent resident visa for Muslims/brown people:
India has more sham marriages but their timeline is only 6 months whenever Pakistan current timeline is 26 months & Some applicants are waiting for more than 3 years time.
I have been discussing this matter to my forum members on Canadavisa.com and the only reason everyone come up with is because we are Muslims and we are brown. because if there was any issue regarding the safety or background check would be the same or even less dangerous situation for our spouses than to grant anyone who just want to visit Canada. So the reason for Canadian immigration to grant 500,000 visitors visas in 6 months is because those visitors will pump up the economy by spending their money here but some how they just don't want our people to come and live here permanently.
Canadian high commission & its inefficiency: how do they screw up our files
I don't think they read our files but rather check the weight and then decide if any contents or material is missing: So here is what we discuss on the forum what are the things missing whenever those items have already been submitted.
1: You are required to submit certain forms which have been already submitted.
2: You have not paid the landing fee whenever it had been paid.
3: You have to get your remedical done before this date but they will post that letter after the date already passed.
4: Send your wedding pictures or honeymoon pictures whenever they have all of those in the file.
5: we sent you such letter which they never sent.
6:If we don't receive such papers within next five days we will assume that you are not interested to go to Canada and we will close your file.
