To all of us who are waiting,,,I have copied the following text from Jason Kenney's Twitter, maybe this can help you feel better...

@kenneyjason: 1/For those who have asked about permanent residency processing times at CIC Ankara, please understand that most of our PR programs have had
@kenneyjason: 2/ global wait-times of about 7 years until recently; & Ankara processing times were affected by closure of our Damascus and Tehran offices.
@kenneyjason: 3/However, we are pursuing ways of speeding things up (eg QSWP at Ankara) & our reforms are bringing down overall PR wait times dramatically

This was also asked from the minister about CIC Ankara:

@kenneyjason with closures in Damascus and Tehran why hasn't more staff been hired in Ankara to support?
@seanpolden We have. The number of officials at CIC's Ankara office has expanded enormously w/ closure of our Damascus & Tehran embassies.

And for my part I send my positive wishes for Erina. I will keep you in my prayers and hope that you get reunified with your loved one as soon as possible. When there's a will, there's a way.

Hi lady ,
Just a quick question, is there a way you could make another column for those people that have apply directly from Ankara, so we can get a better idia about the ave. procesing and waiting time ,
Thanks
what lady? I'm a dude ;D

Don't worry I'll remove older files from the spreadsheet as soon as we have more PPRs from 2012 applications.
However before that and as soon as I get the chance I'll add average calculations which uses only the newer applications' data.

This is a really good news. Thanks for sharing mamad khan
But I wish he had responded to questions about spousal applications specifically ...

Guys, I need your opinion...

My husband Medical has expired in Sep 2012, according to the GCSM Notes, that I received in NOV they requested for extension from Paris, but according to the update that I received from my PM, his medical has expired in Sep and at some point they will ask for a redo....

so, which one you think I should count on? Shall I go ahead and do the medical by myself without them asking for it yet..or shall I wait for them to say something...I am really confused...SOS...

Erina jun:

I am so sorry to hear about your situation...the thought of what you are going through right now is even overwhelming...I don't even know what to say to make you feel better but from what I understood u r not married by law? is that right? are u in a common-law relationship? if so you can easily appeal..but of course first you need to get married. (And if that's not an option you can still appeal and I am sure there is a way) And it wont be a year...it could maybe take another 6 months (because its an on going case), don't be disappointed. its not the end of the world (believe me its not) and I am sure you can appeal (that's why the option is there and it works). it happens all the time....and u r not alone. God bless.

Erina im very sorry to hear this news. dont give up. It is your right to be eith your partner and these people cant stop you. Unfortunately we are all the victims of our stupid iranian governments behavior. If we had a good government first we wouldnt be in Canada and second we wouldnt need a visa to come here. I ll pray for you and hopefully they gonna rework on your application soon

solh if the visa office extended it 4 ya, u don't need 2 worry at all cuz they extend it 4 one full yr. just like my wife, her medical got expired sep12 and they extended it till sep13. even in the passport email they sent us, it mentioned that after she gets her visa, she has time up to sep13 or passport expiry date whichever is sooner to travel 2 Canada.

I have a question regarding your GCMS notes that I would greatly appreciate it if you could answer me. Did you have SUBACTIVITIES with the Type of "Security Screening" updated by "SADMIN" in your notes?
