ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS


Through the family class, Canadian citizens or permanent residents may sponsor
their spouse, common law partner, conjugal partner, dependent child (including adopted
child) or parent or grandparent to become a permanent resident.10 Family class
immigrants have accounted for an average of 26% of annual admissions over the past
decade. The Government has determined that sponsorship of spouses, partners, and
children takes priority within the family class. These applications are not subject to
numerical limits in the Immigration Levels Plan.

MUST: Please share your first thoughts after reading this. :P :P :P

Pages 8 and 9 directly contradict each other. Page 8 shows the admissions target is 44000 while page 9 contains the statement you posted above ("spouses are not subject to numerical limits"). Practically speaking, why set a target if you don't intend to adhere to it? And then why set a target for the following year as well (48300 in 2013)?
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/notice-levels2013.asp. It would be a waste of time unless the number did factor into planning and admissions in some way.

Thank you. Well, I think this month is going to be dead because of a lot of holidays for Dussehra and Diwali. I am sure a lot of the visa officers may have wanted to take some time off during the festivities. So do not despair. I am sure we all are going through some tough emotional challenges and all I can say is, be strong. You and your spouses need to be supportive of each other and look forward to being together for the rest of your lives.

Hang in there guys!

Hey buddy

I am from edmonton too and have the same timeline.

I am sorry to hear about your situation and will suggest you not to loose hope.

you have to examples of 2 guys who got visa in 5 months.

Me, you, Rahul, ApScorpion we are from all are from Alberta with almost similar time line and its makes us 4 and there might be others too.

Would suggest you to hang in there. Its true you go through ups and downs in a long distance relationship.

I am going through some of them too. Don't expect anything before Jan that's the best thing we can do.

I have seen some people posting about presence of Quota and some saying Its not there.

If its not there what is the reason for delay?

If there would have been a problem with your, mine, ApScorpion or Rahuls case, others who applied in June, July might have been getting visa by now. My case is in process from over 2.5 months.

Since nobody is getting visa right now, I can only think of just one cause "They are not issuing it to anybody at present due to x y z reason".

All the best.. God Bless you...

They applied on "06 Dec 2011"

Right, but if there is currently a pause or freeze on spousal Visas for xyz reasons or quotas, it would have applied to their case too.
