Charlie... Believe me it's only by the grace of God that I have not called every news paper and radio station in the GTA as a result of what happened last year. ;D
lostwithoutu, I'm sponsoring two kids. I know it traditionally takes longer, based on certain factors or complications, but the processing time associated with my file is inexplainable.
Everyone, ponder this... Each of us everyday wake up and go to a job we either love, endure because it pays the bills or something in between based on the work ethic our parents instilled in us. Regardless, of our feelings for our jobs we complete our tasks in a reasonable amount of time and provide quality work, otherwise we're reprimanded and/or replaced. As a society we've become complacent in regards to the level of service we expect to receive. I understand and can appreciate the need for being detailed oriented and fact based, especially in light of the influx of false marriages as a result of a fad/hype that come across the CIC's desks. However, twelve, sixteen, nineteen and twenty-four months??!?!??
