I don't think that will effect anything. Just imagine if you are the visa officer, and you have thousands of applications under many categories in front of you everyday. Some of them have higher priority some have lower priority, some of them are easy to process and some are complicated, some of them are PR cases and some of them are citizens or temporary visas cases. They must have their own way to work, not like they got several complaints on one category then they will turn their focus on to that category.
No, it does not work like this. No officer has thousands of applications under him or her that he needs to worry about. IRCC is not perfect, sometimes file is just parked for a year for no reason. When express guys add spouses, it adds 20 days - 1.5 months on their application. In pnp it used to be 3 months .. but now years.
protest works everywhere and in every form in the world. Did not it just work for families of PR and citizens just a few days ago? IRCC had to change whole travel restrictions because of pressure. If your voice is not raised, how will it be heard? I know if we, PNP applicant with spouse addition, would have been in numbers and raised our voiced or had an advocate who could speak for us ... we would never be in this situation? What other files are parked for 15 months just because you got married? IRCC is not perfect at all.....
There is no simple or complicated files. In this pandemic, ppl have been getting PR who applied in August / July / June of this year, 2020. In 2 - 3 months.
