Petitioning CIC to improve inland processing time and grant Open Work Permit

[civic]

It takes more than 5 hours to process an application. The fees one pays to process an app, don't actually cover all the time/cost in employee wages/benefits/pension required. Lots of the cost is covered by tax payers.

Because the government said so?

You think just because we leech off our spouse for about 2 years that we have it easier? That's a mighty ignorant thing to say. None of us have ever said that Outlanders don't have it rough too, but we also suffer as well. Apparently the lifestyle of being at home 24/7 (while our spouse provides for us) without being able to do anything productive is easy for you. Make your own petition if it bothers you so much, but don't sit here childishly attacking inlanders because they feel the need to express how they feel.

Well said

Make my own petition? Why bother they won't give a *censored word*.
It has nothing to do with compassion, I am just stating the facts. Inland applicants have it easy, why are you complaining. So it takes a year or half a year to complete your application, is it such a big deal since you are already LIVING TOGETHER? I dare you to come to someone from Pakistan for example, whose processing times are like 30 month and he cant get a visitor visa for his wife and only gets 2 weeks vacation a year and you say to his face "We inland applicants have it hard, my wife can't work while shes staying with me in Canada".

why are you only giving examples of areas that have actually screwed the system for everyone because of high levels of fraud. and btw, it depends on the inter-country relations. even USA has the same timeline as pakistan, but outland applicants from europe and america can easily visit their spouses. so they have double benefits.

this is not outland vs inland. but rather visa-exempt vs visa required applicants.

Boohoo
Poor rosebud can't do anything productive with his free time, how hard it must be on you.
As I said before if you had the opportunity to experience being apart from your loved one for an extended period of time and not being able to do anything about it, you would realize your arguments are laughable.

?? No because it's basic common sense. The processing fees one pays is peanuts compared to the man-hours that go into fully processing an average PR application.

you can always bring your loved ones as a student and give them an opportunity to have a better future in canada. canadian education is essential for finding good jobs in canada. that way you wont need to stay apart. there are many good colleges that are not so expensive.

Lots of fraud? Pump more resources into that area, hire more officers.
I have nothing to do with Pakistan and other Asian countries that have long wait times but I think it would a humane thing to do to help those families reunite. Who have atrocious wait times and can't get visas. People who are already living together in Canada should be the last in line to complain.

How is that a basic common sense? Why the government doesn't want to charge the applicants (the foreigners) full expenses of the processing? Because they are so nice so they want to help foreigners with Canadian tax dollars? You believe so? Haha

I thought we were all supposed to be adults here looking for the same goal. Obviously I was wrong. Everone's case is different. In my case, I was forced to do inland for personal reasons that I do not wish to disclose. You're basing your flawed opinions simply by the fact that we get to be with our partner. I can't speak for everyone else, but I've gone years without seeing my husband. So please, spare me the cynicism and put yourself in someone else's shoes. Or not, I guess it's easier to attack someone while being protected by the barrier a computer provides. How mature.

I heard of people trying to do that and they got shot down especially if you are in the middle of a sponsorship process. Officers who look at our cases are not stupid you know

you do realize they wont put more people in an international location. that's more expense for the canadian government. not something that benefits them anyway. not many federal workers would like to be away from their own home and loved ones. it's also a security risk.

So what you are a saying that if you had a choice you would rather not see your husband for a year, than live with for year and a half (thats inland processing times if I am not mistaken?) but being unable to work? :-X

Oh so its ok for me, a canadian citizen, to be away from my loved one. But not for federal workers. I don't buy it.

Exactly. A year goes by quickly. I don't mind being away from him as long as I can be productive. As I said, I was forced to do inland. The days go by quickly when you are keeping yourself occupied. However, they drag when you're doing absolutely nothing.
