Oh I have been emailing everyone, for months. I was in the Star article. I tweet at Chris Alexander and CIC. I am not keeping quiet, but it isn't helping. Maybe with more people emailing, tweeting and generally being pests they will actually start to work. 2014 is almost over and CPC-M hasn't done a thing. It makes me think the timeline will reach 24 or even 36 months.
The only solace I take is that I work in very large office in Toronto. That means I work with people who live in Ajax and Pickering. They are getting an earful about Chris Alexander.
It's crazy there's no formal place a complaint can be addressed. I feel for all of us, because our voice is not making any difference. I'm also afraid of the static months we had since files were transferred, like it was an excuse to put those files on hold. I plan my life wrong twice already believing the time frame, because it keeps increasing. It's way passed disrespectful, since we have no explanation why this paid government service is not being completed.
It's just a lot of people to put in this position, specially financial hardship, which is not good for the government itself. When people talk about applying out land at this point, drives me crazy, since we paid for this service and I'm not even sure we get refund for that. And in most of the countries, when withdrawing, you immediately lose implied status and have to leave Canada, and wait for the whole new process to be completed, not just 1st stage. When we applied and paid for this service, it was a totally viable option, those excuses that is in the best interest to apply outland only appeared after the increase of 1st stage inland.
I honestly wouldn't mind if they delayed 2nd stage, since the basic rights we need to keep going on with a normal life comes with 1st stage. We are all in a very bad situation, I personally have no idea what to do if the time frame increase even more. It's holding back our life, our dreams, and the clock keeps ticking.
