i understand your anger but please refrain from using those words attacking particular group of people who have nothing to do with this process....homos are not the ones sitting in a dark room and say 'ahh here is j j's application, let us put it aside' ....whatever your personal circumstances are, be constructive in your criticisms and don't attack particular group of people based on gender, religion, orientation, age, marital status and so on because children learn from parents' prejudices and anger brings out the worst in people....
area has got nothing to do with who gets when (though punjabis have been subjected to more scrutiny than other groups) it is all luck..some get it faster than others...atleast you have your status 'DM' .....some 2012 people have been waiting since 2012 and some of them are still 'in process'..I am not minimizing your situation but trying to put things in perspective..have patience
Dear J J
Adding further to the above we do not know the systems and procedure to be followed in issuance of PR a stage prior to citizenship in Canada. What we have done here in the forum is sharing the experiences of the members so that people can place themselves in that position and visualise what may happen next or how long may take make a guess.
To my mind by going through the forum I think the process is as under
1 Files on numbering at NDVO are allotted to individual VO. Spousal Visa category is also one among them.
2 The security check to be done by an external agency. Medical results is to be done by an external agency. 3Marriage Genuine or not is to be assessed by a section of staff. The VO has the power to waive the interview in cases where he feels it is genuine and decision is his prerogative thing.
4 files on every decision DM is put to next higher level
5 a When the concerned person goes on vacation whether others to what extant take additional load is anybody's guess.
6 all actions on the file to be entered and documented Creation of the official document , so called office note may have many pages of form filling analysis, putting up to the higher levels quarry answers objection etc are part of the game taking time in the process.
7 Above all working style of the individual taking file complete it and go to another. Some take complicated file first once complicated attend to easy issue. Write on file observed /pass a comment put it up of review later or deal the issue chalking out work in a time frame is again individual behaviour in office and anybody's guess. This could be the reason in some cases we observe when medical is about to expire they talk and issue PR visa out of the way, a discreation being exercised.
So my dear friend your case is dealt fast at the speed of the officer who may be overloaded Any way you will get it fast. Have faith in yourself.
What our seniors have been telling time again is to self audit your file and submit additional where you feel necessary.
You are in the final stage All is well. Best of Luck God bless you.
