CIC PROCESSING TIME CHANGED

[Officer]

Looks like the processing times were changed again on Aug 27. Looks like they are back to a more rational time frame.

Most of us enjoying the waiting game, that is why no one is trying to do anything with processing time which is the main concern of spousal sponsorship... some marriages will not survive due to time lines of CIC.. I do not believe that the number of application has increased from last year, but the processing time is keep on increasing everywhere in the world ... that is not right and I do not believe we sit and wait ...

Quote from: Naponga
As much as I agree with you and enduring the painful agony of being separated from our spouses, It might be a good theyre doing. There is a lot of fraudulent marriages out there. They disguise their identity and use innocent people as bait to get to the land they call green pastures. The waiting time is horrendous!!! I get sick to my stomach when ever I check my ecas and its at a stand still (decision made) !

cheers!

i fall somewhere in the middle between these two thoughts. i by no means am enjoying being separated from my husband, but i know for a fact that our marriage will survive this long wait. if a marriage would fall apart simply based on not being together in person, especially in this day and age of modern technology, and when both people know there is a light at the end of the admittedly-ridiculously-long tunnel, then it is not a strong marriage and would likely fall apart over something else at a later date. on the other hand, using crazy processing times to weed out fraudulent marriages is horribly unfair to those of us with genuine relationships who want nothing more than to fall asleep in our spouse's arms at night. we definitely need a way of sorting the frauds from the genuine, but i don't think this is the best way. in the Canadian justice system, one is innocent until proven guilty, but in the Canadian immigration system, it feels like one is fraudulent until proven genuine.

Could someone tell me if the processing time for US Outland applicants is still roughly around 9 months average? My husband is from Missouri and we just sent our papers off this month. Thanks.

Like I already posted, it varies. That average is just a rough estimate, many people get it faster.
