Hello,
I am one of the applicants impacted by the long processing times of the family sponsorship program. I have been living in Canada from march 2013 . only waiting for getting my work permit. I have work experience in MNC company. but unfortunately, not being able to get a job and contribute to the Canadian economy because I do not have a work permit. My husband is the only person who is earning and believe me it is very difficult to survive.
I am feeling sick and stressful sometime i am getting health problem but i do not have health coverage also
and also imposed by the family sponsorship program, we are not able to leave Canada and visit our family members who are located abroad.
I called to enquire about that, they told me they are working on july 11 applications and i applied in august according to general processing time my work permit should come at the end of this month. but they told me to call after 2 month means in august. it means the total processing time is 12 months not 10
This is very very stressful situation for me
Thanks,
