"wait me my love" and "my love is waiting", I was wondering why you comment from both of your IDs ...
People's timelines are in the chart Sohrab posted above, some people from November have got their PPRs, and some others such az Nagz and Missbou are still waiting.

LOL yes why do you comment from the two accounts???

 

[nagz2207]

Dear friends,
The embassy requests from me the medical report section A, I went to the clinic where I did the exam, and they refuse to give me that report as I am near the expiration date(two months till expiration). Their solution is to redo the exam!!

guys i came across something very interesting, yes its a Saturday but im at the office, anyways i found out damascus is going batch processing because of staff shortage, i went back into new canadians' files and found out from may 5 to june 29 we had 150 permanent residency's issued to the middle east, if you guys remember thats the time we had like 10 in this forum in 2 weeks, thats exactly the time before summer holidays kicked in, what batch processing means is that they dont release PR to one person and move on to the next person because it takes much longer, usually there are enough staff to process as they go but since there is a shortage they have a complete file, they move to the next, and depending on their batch quota they release it all at once(within 18 days ) thats protocol,
what all this means is that they could be doing the same now that the fall season is in effect, for all we know some of us , like nagz gem nath kamal etc etc have complete files but they wont know until the quota is met, its stupid but thats how they compromise to meet the shortage..... anyways i thought you guys would be interested in knowing this

hi,
who tolled u that the nov people got their PPR?

dear friend if you are actually the same person please just use one account, its easier for all of us, that way we can keep track of the time on the chart and as well the time of your file and we dont have posts from 2 accounts

Sohrab I have a question!
Are the visa offices processing times related to the number of officers? I mean is it true that the only reason that New Delhi and Beijing process faster than other visa offices is because they have more officers? Because I doubt they get less applications than other visa offices! Or are there other factors and this is just one?

what an EXCELLENT question ( im acting like a teacher lol )

no vivi jan you are 100 % right it isnt the fact that they have less applications, think about it its china and india! lol half of the world!

there are a couple reasons, the relations of that country with canada, the equivalency of immigration flow(do canadians go to that country as much as they come to canada) and finally and most importantly POLITICAL RELATIONSHIP of the 2 countries......

I promise you even if syria had the same number of officers we would still be slower than the countries you mentioned ,
think about it, last year, was there an ARAB revolution?
syria has always been the fastest in the middle east since it has a 30 year relationship with canada but even the fastest processing time in syria which was 6.5 months in 2007 doesnt compare to 3 months in beijing..... why? well the answers are above haha

Thanks so much Sohrab jan for all the info you share with us and the answers you give to our questions!
Yeah, so even if Syria had more officers we would have been badbakht anyway! But thank god time passes by quickly! It just seems like yesterday that I joined the forum and was in the first week of the waiting game!
