I saw few comments, regarding the working procedure of CIC, alot of people criticize that they are slow, they have no set criterea, They process some applications in 7 or 8 months and some applications take 33 to 35 months and no response.
In the last 1 year I have met several applicants and sponsors, saw their applications, I have realized its not CIC delaying the procedure, its the sponsors and the applicants...
for instance I know someone his application was processed within 7 months and his wife reached Canada last year september 2013, saw his application, very well organized, he answered all the question in the application in a perfect manner, I don't know if anyone realized the questions in the application are organized in a way that if you answer your questions honestly and read your complete application again, its like you are reading a story....
anyways I met someone who submitted the application in 2012 and stilll no response, and when I saw his application, it didnt make any sense, i felt everything written in the application is nothing more than a lie. for example, in the applicationit asks you when did you met the applicant for the first time... he mentioned the date, which is correct...
next question, did you give your spouse any present or gift when you met for the first time, the answer was "Yes, I gave wedding ring",
what did your spouse gave you and the answwer was " a wedding ring"
I am not saying the answers are wrong, but we need to explain cic about our answers, like If I am a visa officer how am I going to believe that I met my spouse for the first time and I gave gher the wedding ring... One should provide explaination that it was a a marriage arranged by the parents and the met the spouse before i met her and they finalized everything... like you need to have a true and honest story explained ....
Also I have noticed alot of people have grammer issues, which is ok, in canada they understand English is not our language so they dont expect us to be perfect, but for people have issues with english should seek help from people who can speak and write english.....
I am only writing this message for everyone so that they should understand CIC staff they are all canadians they dont understand aour culture we need to address the questions in a way that have a picture of your culture in their mind.
I have seen posts from many ppl on this forum and have noticed their grammer, its difficult to understand the question as well...... no offense.. I am not going to mention anyones name....
so ppl before criticizing please make sure you have your application prepared in a perfect manner... please seek help from ppeople around you, I will never suggest hiring a lawyer or the consultant, I am sure you can find someone in the family to help you....
Please have your applications filled perfectly... gather all the required documents, there are so many blogs online which may help you gather documents.... it is very difficult to wait to be with your spouses... its disturbing... so ppl in order to avoid delays have your application filled just the way they want it to be....
No offense guys... just trying to help...
