Congrats blueangel371115. It was a long way but it will be over soon. I am still attending the forum and receiving notifications on this thread even if my wife landed already. You can update here your landing date and I will complete your line on the spreadsheet.

Might as well update mine, to close off the case - i was rejected. Headed to appeals. Wish us luck. We are not gonna give up because of their false accusations.
Good luck in Canada to everyone who landed already, and to those still waiting, have patience! You'll be back with your loved ones soon! =D

Nope, they are the same place, when I started (been that long) it was a case processing pilot (CPP) now it's a case processing center (CPC). They'd just stopped doing US files in Buffalo around the time I filed.

That's nuts. Hopefully, they explained it all to you. Hang in there, keep gathering info and evidence to prove to them you are genuine.

The officer didn't look at any of the evidence provided. He made up some false accusation about how my only goal is to return to the "North American lifestyle" that i'm supposedly used to. The heck does that even mean???

Over 1500 pages of evidence, extensive evidence, that they asked for. It wasn't touched. Just sat to his right hand side. He even said he 'doesn't need to look at the evidence', literally said that, because supposedly he sees what's in front of him. THE HECK DID THAT MEAN???
I'm disgusted. Can hardly wait for the appeal to come up. It's gonna be a long wait but my husband and I are not gonna leave one another because of some CIC jerk's faulty decision.

b4roness, I have a friend whose application to sponsor his wife was rejected. About a month later, he received a letter in the mail from CIC giving him the option to sit down with CIC appeals officer. My friend took his immigration lawyer but the CIC officer would not let the lawyer speak. The CIC officer dictated who spoke and what evidence was looked at. So the sad part is, they are still not reasonable during the appeal, which is why some cases go to the courts.

Often times, perception clouds reality in the eyes of CIC officers.

That's absolutely horrid =( , and intolerable. All evidence provided in a hearing, of ANY kind, whether ADR or full Federal, needs to be examined. THEY asked for it. They require us to provide as much evidence as possible in order for them to have a clear understanding of our relationship aside from our verbal comments.
For an officer to disregard evidence, which in turn can risk the future lives of the applicants, is something that should, if it goes that far, be brought to the Supreme court, and have the original and appeal officers jobs put on the line. Those kind of people should not be working for ANY governing body, or anything having to do with people or customer service. It's biased, and should be illegal.
If evidence doesn't matter, as the officer clearly stated in both my case and your friend's, then what's the point of this entire process? For power-tripped jerks to have some fun by making peoples lives miserable? What are we, in purgatory?
I will be bringing up my case to any media channels willing to air it, and to the minister of immigration. These things shouldn't happen. ALL evidence should be examined by at LEAST two officers, so that the decision isn't one sided.
Because of ONE jerk, our entire families, not just us, suffer.

Hi guys
Ive been following this thread for a while its been very informative :)

I have a question im hoping some of you can help me out with. im sponsoring my husband (VO Ankara - applied Jan 17/2014). at the end of November my husband had an interview which seemed to go ok, but since then (9 weeks ) we have not heard anything except for a request for updated Police check and we forgot to include his military cert so they requested that. I understand that it does take time after the interview but what worries me is that on ECAS it just says application received (no medicals received yet) and according to our CAIPS notes he passed his medical. I know i shouldn't be complaining since others have a much longer waiting period but i guess missing someone and being so close to the end makes it hard to stay rational :) Here is to hoping all of us get some good news soon.
