this wait is sooo killing, its insane, totally neglecting human feelings based on country of birth, I never figured out why they r being so rude to us, if they need immigrants, families will come automatically. They need Indian engineers/doctors but spouses are a liability..wowwww, if they are so resistant then why don't they close immigration completely. Now again they started FSW, it is understood human beings will come in FSW and they may get married later on, they will need to be with their spouses. Its all human.
One more question I never get answer for, if a work permit holder or a student's wife can accompany with his/her spouse immediately, Canada is not scared of them???, coz there cannot be those tough background checks on them within days, they are eligible just like that and a PR's or Citizen's spouse are mostly criminals and require to pass through the toughest security criteria in the world.....hats off to law making people in this so called first world country.
I guess nobody here minds going to Canada on an open work permit and wait for pr in Canada while living with his/her spouse, do some basic checks in India and in depth while the applicant is in Canada. This immigration policy is just being selfish, greedy and mean for your own needs.
Good one
