Not sure if it's Ankara's fault. I just received this article in the e-mail (from almost a month ago): http://www.cicsnews.com/?p=1576

It says "Iranians applying for immigration to Canada are being rigorously screened by the Canadian government for links to the Iranian political leadership. Kenney cited the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), saying it bars any one linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard … the Basij or senior members of the regime from immigrating to Canada". Now you have to wonder how they can identify connection between applicants and the Iranian government, Basij and Sepah from Ottawa, without even having an embassy in Iran??!!! ???

I hope it's not yet in effect ... Hopefully getting many pprs tomorrow would change the mood here!!

it is one stupid reason to hold everyone back because of some senseless background screening..i understand and agree with all the screening when it comes down to someone that might hurt canada and its people..but not all of the applicants have connections to the gov, most of them dont even like that government so why should we pay for the mistakes of others again...im sick and tired of this senseless processing, its stupid!!!...and im tired of the excuses cic makes...

I know! Most of us have spent all our adult life to this point in school, and the female ones haven't even done any military service ... so security screening should take only 10 minutes for people like me! There is nothing there to check!

hi everyone,
of course he's not on vacation!!! he/she's sending lots of pprs but not to us!!!!!!! i've just read in another forum someone's parents received ppr email as a tourism visa!! ???

 

[Kurdistan-kazhal]

hahhahah it should take like 10 min thats a good one,,,but come onnn i have been waiting for a good 4-5 month for this stupid background checks..what the hell is there for these assholes to check???? my husband did his military service not because he wanted too but because he had no other choice...and not everyone that does military service become terrorists and killers..common people do it because they wana have passports, be able to get a licence and own a house not to become a threat to people...not everyone that are trying to get out of that country pose threats they are just trying to get to their loved oness.. cic has become a living nightmare for most people especially those that live in iran,, unfair all the way through...anyways, there goes another week and my damn waiting still continues....

Getting so hacked off how long this process is taking! i know i am at the beginning of this process but I think it's very unfair that some VO processing time is so much faster than others while it should take the same time to process the same type of visas!!
sorry i don't want to be pessimist but seeing some people here waiting 4 more than a year make me feel like this!

It's sad. But I know Ankara's got a lot more organized compare to 4,5 months ago. I'm sure the new processing time update (their December update) will be approximately 10 months. 99% of people waiting since late 2011 to early 2012 will get visa before or right after winter holidays, I assure you
