NEW DELHI - 2013 APPLICANTS.

[gupta417]

Hello Every one,
I am August applicant and following this forum for quite a bit for time..
Just to bring your attention that after being held for almost 5 months (Still the strike is on ), today is the first time Canadian free local news paper Metro published an article on VISA Strike and it's adverse effect. It seems the PR applicants are the most affected, it is dropped by almost 5000 applications compare to last year at the same period of time, which is almost 10%.

Keep the positive vibes , hope Ottawa will take some action and they start work in faster pace.

Cheers

Yeah.. true... thats what even I felt when I saw that newspaper this morning... every day my eyes searches for an article on this strike and finally they published this article today... happy to see this article on the main page today... hope atleast now government will take this issue more seriously and resolve this ASAP...
Good luck to all of us...

I wish I knew! Someone who sponsored his wife in 2012 told me this information. He applied in May 2012, CIC requested his wife's passport in Sept 2012 and she didn't get it back with a temp PR until Jan 2013. When he asked why such a delay, this is the information that was given to him by his lawyer.

But if this person applied in May 2012 and wife got the passport back with the visa in Jan 2013 then it is within the case processing timeline right of 8 months or so? So maybe the information that NDVO takes a break in Oct for spousal applications is not completely true. (fingers crossed)

Hi jk45, see the quote above from msingh2013

I know and god knows from where MSing2013's friend get this insider information.

I am sure they have set targets for different type of VISA applications but i am pretty sure they never make up to those targets (just like any other office work). Look at the backlog they have accumulated for years.

Lets not waste our time talking about this and worry ourselves for no reason.

It is within the time. But it would be sad if there is a 3 month increased delay if they took a break between October and January. In TO star's article, it is also clearly written that CIC changes the focus of issuing PRs during the summer months and focus more on visitor and student visas.

My friend's lawyer told him this. The one who helped him with the application. I just wanted to know if it was true or not as I didn't think it was.

 

[prasamp]

no they cant do that ......for family sponsorship.....its never happened...im talkin abt child and spouse only !! remaining yes they can do that

i would say we might not need to worry about reaching QUota. As of today considerable amount of backlog left and its not going to be easy for them to meet the basic quota limit. So they might not worry about that for now...

but on the contrary each category as percentage per year. So its not always true that family class means by any means they will let you in without seeing the quota. But in our case i doubt reaching quota will play a role as they are well short of targeted number for ths year.

We have heard many stories from Lawyers/consultant on this and other forums. They make stories according to the situations so client wont get upset with the delay or stupid work they have done on their files.

One lawyer asked to one of our forum member that there is $500 fee for GCMS notes...

It is not true..They cannot just put aside the applications....Giving priority is different from totally stop working.

WE really need to stop spreading this whole QUOTA BS right now.

Dont mean to offend anyone...but a lot of assumptions here. Quota is applied under different scenarios...specially skilled workers etc. So please do urself a favour and stop worrying about trivial things.

agreed and I confirmed this with my hubby too....it doesn't effect spouse visa....ndvo time frame is anyways 1 yr now so certain files can take up to 1 year to get pr..
