i dont mean disrespect, so please do not judge me as this is not your right, but i know what i am talking about. I am just saying that Canada is not blind to the fact that pakistan is the world leader in the visa fraud business , documents that are given for visa applications contain **spam**, fake degrees, fake birth certificates, fake marriage certificates etc. Of course i dont say it is from all applicants, but because of that canada together with other countries had to put different measures to check and validate the authenticity of applications from pakistan. What I am saying is dont blame it all on CIC.

This is just the same as all spouses now must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the marriage is real by submitting hundreds of pages of evidence, photos, records etc, and why are we asked to give so much proof? Because marriage fraud became a business and the people that used the system this way ruined it for the real geniuane marriages. I know of people that applied for spousal sponsorship between 1998-2007) and believe me all that was needed back than was a marriage certificate, couple photos and some phone records (maybe 4-5 pages in total) and now we all submit 100s of potos, 1000s of pages of email, skype etc.

read the below thread, these people who misuse the system are the ones who created the backlog. and in the end we all pay for it. Also dont forget the time some of the backlog was created in Pakistan, when the Pakistani government would not allow canadian visa offices to enter the country to work. read about it.

I hope you read the comments of people below, and according to them intolerant and extremist are all from Pakistan, that is ironic when we read what they say. That is really Sad.

i ignore those comments, because their comments have no merit. I don't get offended. In the end they will be judged by our creator. trust me when i tell you i get asked all time at work now if and when canada puts ban on hijab in workplace if i will take it off, of course i would not, i'd rather move to a country that will respect my choice.

Has anyone else from the 2013 pool received a letter lately regarding the transfer of the file to the London office for processing?

Meaning it actually says in the letter that the file has been transferred to London for better service (fast processing).

If anyone else can shed some light on this, that would be great!
