Mexico

[Mariana948]

...and Another week without news from CSQ yet from Quebec unless we get a surprise today by the post but i don't think so...
i think we all are depressed at that point.

I know other day almost a month since website updated and nothing.... they will be off for holiday so nothing will come I think.

Yes I feel depressed a lot, this is very painful with all this covid thing is just worst we not a priority the fact that they haven’t even post what will happen with us... is damn disgusting.

Mexico will get worst with CoVid19 so we need answers, my husband called MIFI they said only 1 signature was missing and he was already financially approved.

Hey everyone! My 1 year was April. 1st,2020. Haven't heard anything, my question is should I reach out to my MP to find out what's going on or no point since covid-19?
Thanks in advance for your answers or opinions.. I appreciate them all!

You can still get an update from your MP. They can give you an idea how far along your application is.

I tried posting a petition on this forum a couple of months ago - sponsored by a Quebec MP - the administrator of the forum removed the posting! They don't want us to share petitions or letters like that on this forum. It is frustrating as the petition I posted was legit.
Having said that, I used to work in communications for a provincial government - creating responses for a Minister. I will tell you that for each piece of correspondence they receive, they have 30 days to respond AND they consider the one person who wrote to represent 5,000 people who didn't.

Please write to the Minister of Immigration, the Prime Minister, Chrystia Freeland - basically anyone remotely related to this issue. TRUST ME, when Comms advisors are dealing with 10-20 such letters per week and having to go through ALL the approvals for ALL the letters and log the responses and all the other bureaucracy that happens EACH TIME someone writes, they willl pay attention to the theme.
Your letter doesn't have to be fancy. It just has to state how you feel.
Make sure you ask the Comms Advisors to work hard on your response by asking really good questions:
1. What is the government's plan to modernize the outdated computer systems around the world, to facilitate information sharing and expedite applications?
2. What is the government's plan to fast-track those that have been waiting in the system for more than a year once the travel bans are lifted.
3. Have VACs and embassy offices providing immigation services reviewed ALL Files to see if any can be expedited? For example, are all interviews really necessary?
4. Will the IRCC AUTOMATICALLY grant extensions to criminial records checks and medicals that have expired during the travel ban?
5. What is the plan to reduce the time period to process a spousal or child application for PR?

You can say what you want, but they don't have to do more than a passive acknowledgement of those things. When you ask pointed questions, you make them work harder because they need more message crafting and approvals on the responses. You flood them with letters like that, and the Comms people will make a stink about it and a briefing will be sent to the Minister about the volume of concern over the issue, with stats about the number of complaints received etc. Trust me - I have been there!

I wrote asking these questions and will continue to do so every week

I'd like to think they are and have been working at the Mexico VO before and after the Easter Holidays but with the progress most of us have seen on our applications over the past several months, I'm not sure that's the case.

I'm going to write to the IRCC Minister, Prime Minister Trudeau, and Minister of Foreign Affairs for a start. I think anyone who isn't happy with their current situation should do the same.

I plan to ask questions suggested by @laleona and add how I feel about the way my application is being handled. What do I have to lose? They could put it in the wastebasket but it probably wouldn't move any slower, so why not?

I have done the same. I have wrote to each twice with those questions and will continue to do it. I also asked my MP the same. It seems so many here spend more time complaining then anything but the more people that take the time to write....the more likely it is that they will hear one of us

the thing is even if we do... if vo decided we had to take an interview they won't change idea (i don't have any guaranteei am in this situation at the moment) but i'm sure we ALL gonna be anyway , cause that's the way they do things.

Preferences for some... others, interview. It's like that since years ,i know some ppl in my surrounding that have passed through it same old same old. So even if you call , they gonna say your case is on wait for an interview ... and since they don't do any for months.. well... you get the rest. One of my friend it took 3 years around... but yeah it was a complex situation with a child in the balance (not his child) but toward de FC class you have to be table to take and the mom and the kid that is going with so.. it's been a long battle for him.

can you provide the address to those we need to write to? I am just as fed up as everyone and I will write a letter everyday if I have to. Enough is enough. I have the time
