Yep, when you add it up, it's actually cost me thousands of $'s through their outright incompetence. No one is held accountable. No one cares. No one responds outside of a useless automated message. It's a joke.This immigration system is a s**m. They waited until documents expires, for applicants to redo them which cost more money and some of the fees or even increase. It is even more harder to get an appointment now to redo medicals and in times like this money doesn't come easy.
IRCC using covid as an excuse is a complete cop out too. They were a year over their "estimated time frame" before the pandemic even happened.
