very nicely done and thorough analysis

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

I think you guys interpreted the 28 month different in a wrong manner, it is not how it works.

First think the 28 months is the Worst case scenario and it is only 10% cases explained below.

Let me explain you guys in a clear way.

CIC didn't yet provided the detailed figures since they updated the 80% figure to 28 months. The last complete data we got is till October 2012 so my explanation will be based on that data.

In the last 12 months the cases they precessed (gave visa PR) took in 80% of the cases 25 months or LESS the word less is very important. Because if you look at the excel file here is what in the titile :

X % of the cases were completed with in X month or LESS

So from September 2011 to October 2012 for Spouse and Partner cases processed by Islambad Office

80% or less of cases were completed in 25 months
70% or less of cases were completed in 22 months (which mean the only 10% took from 22 to 25 months)
50% or less of cases were completed in 19 months ( Which means only 20% took from 19 to 22 months)
30% or less of cases were completed in 16 months (Which means only 20% of cases took from 16 to 19months)
20% or less of cases were completed in 15 months (Which means only 10% of cases took from 15 to 16months and 20% took less then 15 months so it can be 1 month up to 15 months)

So please guys when you talk about time or when you contact the MPs don't get yourself fool by this 28 month figure only 10% of person are concerned by this time. And it is the worst case scenario and you should remind this to the MP.

I also analyzed the data of Application received and processed by Islamabad and I have very good news and feeling that in coming months the timlien will decrease by 30 to 40%

Here is my explanation :

Files received by Islamabad office from 2009 to 2012

2009 : 3,012
2010 : 2,562
2011: 2,332
2012 (jan to sept) : 68 Low figure because file started to go to Ottawa

Files processed by Islamabad office from 2009 to 2012

2009 : 2,224
2010: 1,227 That is the root of our problem look below for explanation
2011: 1,760 : getting a little better
2010 (last 12 months till October 2012) : 2,232 This is a Good NEWS, it look that Islaman Office is back in it's old time figures


That is why there is backlog, because only 1220 PR given in 2010 which created a big backlog, I don't what really happened in 2010, coincident it was in 2010 that Pakistan was touched by it's biggest flood in his history which paralyzed the whole country in 2010 and in continued in beginning 2011.

As you can see in last 12 months Islamabad office treated almost same amount of files (even more) then in 2009. So it indicate that the backlog is been dealt and we will soon see the timeline go down :) I also think the cases from Ottawa will be transferred to Islamabad as they only received 68 cases and soon Islambad office will have no more file to work on.

I am not taking out these figure from thin air, these are official figures that CIC provide to data here is the link to all data (look for Permanent resident and also look for file received) http://www.data.gc.ca/default.asp?lang=En&n=6E81B685-1&parent=51383040-F4F9-4B96-9E6B-2D70AAFB522A

I can provide you direct links if needed.

So Guys and gals good time is coming for us :) in less then 6 months I am sure the timeline will go very low like 40% less then today.

There could be various reasons why it is taking long...can you please share your timeline details with us so we can help make a better guess for you? all we can do is guess, no one knows what will happen except Allah.

There are many members who have been waiting since Nov Dec submission of Passporsts to be returned and there are those who were returned in a matter of 10 to 14 days, again as ususal no criteria and nno one knows what takes them so long unless it is with remedical which takes upto 8 weeks to be uploaded otherwise, stay put and dont worry it is normal for most PPR requests

Let me clarify u that in spousal sponsorship only one PPR is issued , there is not concept of PPR1 and PPR2.
Would u plz tell us whether ur case is spousal sponsorship or Provicial nominee or something else?

For those waiting for return of PPR, this is how process goes.

Passport is sent to Immigration Officer who does the final review and orders the visa issuance

Then it is forwarded to Quality Assurance Unit which makes sure that the passport and the information is of the same person and pastes the visa sticker on passportt

Then it is forwarded to Clerical staff for courrier forwarding

Why it takes so long ........... there is an Immigration Officer involved (the scarce commodity)

did you get REMED + PPR? or just PPR?

maybe we can better find out this stuff if we share more information....I remember on the forms my wife got, it says 'your immigrant visa is ready for issuance'. It's standard but doesn't that mean its a matter of just stamping the passport?
