Hey Everyone,
Just thought this might come in handy...
While reading through the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) Manual on Processing Members of the Family Class, I came across the following:
5.6. Processing priorities
Applications for permanent residence from spouses, common-law partners, conjugal partners and dependent children have the highest priority, along with children to be adopted. Other members of the family class follow. These are operational, not regulatory priorities. The Department aims to process 80% of sponsorship and permanent residence applications submitted on behalf of the high-priority group of spouses, common-law partners, conjugal partners and dependent children within six months.
5.7. Non-routine cases
While every effort should be made to process high-priority cases expeditiously, it is recognized that there are circumstances where priority processing may legitimately be affected.
In an effort to aid analysis and identification of non-routine cases, the Work In Progress (WIP) event structure in CAIPS should be used by visa offices to flag non-routine cases. Visa offices may enter the following WIP events to identify a file that is non-routine and therefore might be processed outside of the six-month service standard. The WIP events are:
• Background check delay
• Medical delay
• Criminality delay
• Other delay
One or more of these WIP events may be entered when the cause of a possible delay is identified.
When you go to your MP's, you can quote this and ask them why is it taking so long...?
