No approvals today.

The problem is that most Canadians don't know about, or don't care about, the plight of immigrants.

Does anyone know how many spousal applications are allowed each year? Is there a cap?

google "Delays in Immigration Processing Times for Family Class Applications" or simply look in youtube
The video is part of a 2010 session house of commons. You will see that it is "our duty" He did not say privilege or favor or generosity. However, politicians have their way...

No cap. Someone posted the yearly stats a few pages back.

There are indeed caps or targets set for each immigration category. Take a look at the 2012 allocations:

http://www.canadavisa.com/citizenship-and-immigration-canada-announces-new-immigration-targets.html

For spouses and partners, the target is 44,620 visas to be issued this year. The actual number issued could end up higher, as has happened in the past.

There are no caps. A cap means when they reach the number they stop taking applications. That is only for skilled worker visas.

You're right, I interpreted the word 'cap' differently. Should have read more carefully.

Well I did some calling and got to talk to someone who could relay my questions about the paper i got mailed today... She forwarded it to the actual guy who worked with my application... He emailed me back today ( i checked when i came home from work).. those 2 documents that I didn't understand why I have to redo... It is because they are apparently missing... but that is amazing because I have the photo copies of them in my binder.. and the Originals are not there... I know I had every single paper in the mail envelope when I sealed it.... where could it have gone? I don't know.. but at least it seems that I did fill it out right... It says sign and date it.. But I think that I will date it the original date because that's what it should be. Either way... along with the sponsorship evaluation form, I am going to photo copy all of my T1 slips that I have received for income tax.. if there is any kind of doubt what so ever, i am sure those will go away... AND the letter from my employer (I had to get yet another one today).. that was missing to.. I am quite organized and I can't believe 3 things are missing... For future applicants... perhaps videotape yourself and show all the documents you put inside the postal box for proof and then seal it and then you could prove that you did your part... Crazy crazy! Now I have another thing to do this weekend... Thank god they didn't lose anything that I couldn't easily and quickly replace! Anyway.. off to bed... and lets hope to see many more of us get what we're all wanting next week Good Luck!!

That's too bad. What a pain. It's bound to happen once in awhile but I'm sorry it happened to you. I suppose even if you had proof you mailed it you would still have to redo it. Because they need the info even if they lose it.

Hi guys!

I am confused on what is PPR means? I got a letter to ask other documents like the Appendix A and B and sending my passport to the Manila Embassy. Does this means I'm OK not to get any interview and just wait for my visa to be delivered after I sent them the additional documents?? ​
