I dont think people are lying and the immigration might be taking these measures for whatever reasons they have, but it is still ridiculous on their part to be doing this. And although I have said in earlier posts that emailing the immigration minister or MPs wont really get seen, I do also think its worth a try. If everyone who is a 2015 applicant and 2016 applicant, can help by sharing their name and the date application was filed and when the PPR was received, it might be worth a try to take it to the MPs to show them the current working pattern which we all are following on this forum. I have an appointment with my area MP tomorrow and he belongs to the Liberal Party so chances are they would hear more than any other party MPs because it was the Liberal party's promise to reduce spousal sponsorship times. What I was thinking of is compiling a list of people who have received their PPRs and application filed based on the spreadsheet and if anyone else is interested to share their timeline on this forum who is not on the spreadsheet, please send me a personal message on this forum and I will include your name and application filed and PPR receive date in my evidence to show the MP office tomorrow. You do not have to share your UCI or any other information. Just your name, application filed date and PPR received date. I would highly appreciate any legit 2015 and 2016 applicants who have received PPR to hear our plea and help us out. We are not trying to jeopardize your applications, just trying to get them to clear the backlog along with the new applications. Good comes your way if you do good to others but the rest is your choice. I will be compiling a list of applicants from the spreadsheet details tonight and meeting the MP tomorrow to see what they can find out. Wishing myself luck! Lol!
