As long as they are the ones that we give us our visas...they'd be voted the best from my side! :D
 
Got my gcms notes:

PA and sponsor r compatible in all aspects.The wedding was performed in accordance with cultural norms.In view of satisfactory evidence,relationship appears to be genuine.Interview waiver recommended.File sent to officer for review.

Foreign service strike: A by-the-numbers guide
By Jessie Willms and Michelle Zilio | Aug 8, 2013 12:50 pm | 0 Comments
The Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers (PAFSO) has been taking job action for the past two months, including rotating strikes and pickets outside of Canadian missions and offices abroad. The job action by the union’s immigration officials has led to delayed Canadian visa issuance across the world, frustrating visa applicants and hitting the Canadian tourism, education and business sectors hard.

After a failed attempt to agree to enter arbitration, PAFSO filed a bad-faith bargaining complaint against the Canadian government last week and asked the Public Service Labour Relations Board (PSLRB) to order the union and Treasury Board to enter into binding arbitration.

PAFSO has been in a legal strike position since April 2 and without a contract since June 2011. The union is asking for a pay raise because some junior diplomats earn up to $14,000 less than colleagues doing the same work in Ottawa.

These are just some of the numbers that tell the story of the strike.

Hey how come we JAN,FEB,MARCH application's are not getting DM's. What is going on with NDVO I mean other people are getting some update's we just had our passport request and then nothing.

This is so wrong as we cannot go anywhere without our passport. What is the catch here????

It is been 8 months now and nothing yet. ARG!!!!!!!!!!

But why the hell they keep the passport for soo long. Why can't we get the Visa as other's. They are lots of guys from JAN to MARCH who has not gotten anything yet.
