guys i just hope they would update their website for the Anakara office or if they wanna still keep that 5 months, at least put some separate info related to new transfered files from Damascus. this situation is damn confusing cuz no one knows how long the processing time will take in the new office.

I am sorry , i did not get it. who answered the question?????
He is so rude and he is trying indirectly say that most of the marriages are fake in midddle east as well.

Plus I don't mind if they actually take time to verify our marriages are not fake or do the background check.
I want to ask that person if he really beleives that long processing time is because of extra work that our files need or the extra lazy officers
But I am 100% sure that our files are sitting in a dark room and with dust sitting on them while the officers never look at them
this guy is the minister of immigration! :)

if you are wondering why, no visa has been issued, no processing of our application ... maybe this bad news are the answers

I've seen these prospected amendments to the immigration regulations from other group, the CIC and Canadian gov are encouraging the new immigration laws, they want out of the backlogs asap and moreover to have most applicants if not all going under the new immigration laws. ... does any one know anything these bad news ?

1- (2012) new Laws and conditions for immigration effective 2013
2- old applications following the old laws and conditions in process.
3- (2012) Slashing applications prior to 2008
4- applications prior to 2010 placed on hold
5- (2013-2014) Slashing applications prior to 2010

Hello everyone,

I have not checked this website for a few weeks now due to a death in the family. Have I missed anything important or is everything more or less still chaotic and uncertain?

I am trying to figure out the length of time that my wife's application has been "processing" for but I'm not sure when it began.
Perhaps someone could please clarify this for me:

In the client application website under Sponsorship Application Status it says that our application was received on April, 2011 and that they started processing our application on May, 2011.

Under the Permanent Residence Application Status it says that they received our application for permanent residence on June, 2011.

Did my application technically start in April, May or June?

I figure if one year has passed by, then the immigration office may answer an inquiry into the status of our application. My wife is going to visit the embassy in Ankara and ask a few questions but I'm not sure if a) they will answer any questions because 12-14 months has not passed by; and b) they are not answering any questions at the embassy in Ankara for whatever reasons.

Thanks.

Dear Rah
they said exactly this is in consideration of the Federal phase. so as it means it MIGHT BE ALL CATEGORIES: QSW, PNP, FSW AND Maybe FAM.
BUT I believe that FAM shouldn't be included with this new rules as it is kind of impossible for the cic to implement these major changes to the family class.

by the way, have anyone heard anything about these changes? :-\ :-\ :-\ :'( :'( ::) ??? :eek: :( :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

guys i think everyone is going overboard just a bit, i mean everyone is just nagging and complaining, is that really going to accomplish anything? this is why people feel negative and become depressed and so on, forums that provide false information,ridiculous rumors and no hope, i personally just smile when i read you guys being so negative, our friend farid has been waiting about 21 months and he doesnt say anything but everyone else is saying canada is a lie and swearing at the minister lol, come on , there is a saying in persian which goes dont pollute your own blood, whats the point of pulling your hair out over EVERY LITTLE ARTICLE or every POST someone randomly puts here.......

its simple , we are faced with a unlucky unfortunate situation.... simply bad luck... and we are forced to deal with it.... simple , isnt it? ive been waiting almost 14 months, im not cutting my wrists, im just consoling my wife and looking forward to the bright future ahead of us and not this gloomy process because it will be over and done like every chapter in life....

As far as cic and immigration, well i work for CIC and ive seen WORST cases..... this is nothing comparing to the rejections we see, people's files being lost,people being rejected mistakenly because an agent though the marriage was fake , so on and so forth.... Asia is the capital of fake marriages so the minister was right, why is it the capital of fake marriages? well simply because you cant travel anywhere with their passport, and 1st world countries require visa , so fraudsters and crooks started a business ..... humans exploit anything that has money making capabilities.... there are INSTITUTIONS in china/hong kong, you call the number ask for a citizenship , you pay the fee, they send you the profile of your "WIFE/HUSBAND" which includes pictures etc, you wait , they arrive you meet, you pay more fees and then you wait for the process,
canada is trying to stop those agencies and those people, its impossible since there is so many of them and so the only thing canada can do is prolong the process and be more picky, YES i understand not every marriage is fake and i feel bad for the honest people( i am one of them) but this is the world we live in......
im glad my file arrived safe and sound in ankara and just like everyone else ill sit and wait my faith... simple as that
didnt mean to offend anyone ... just sharing this as an opinion with my friends here
my two cents....

Dont complain about what you dont have appreciate what you do !

Dear Sohrab
thanks a lot for your reply and I really appreciate the way you are encouraging us ...
just to be sure ,,, do you think the cic's new regulations are false information or rumors ?

I WISH ALL the AWFUL information would be rumors and false and all the good information would be the only truth.

hope to hear some ppr submission soon ..
