Also, after CPPO repeatedly responded me with the template response, I send them the following. Still waiting for their response:
Thank you very much for your reply.
As indicated in the email, "priority is given to applicants received before February 28, 2012". However that doesn't seem to be what was happening. It looks like applicants after June 2012 are given much a higher priority than applicants before June 2012. This is unfair.
I understand that each application is different and that some might take longer than others. But the fact that most post-June 2012 applicants got their PR in merely 6 months is just simply Unfair compared to the fact that most pre-June 2012 applicants have been waited for more than 12 months and are still waiting! Some people have been waiting for more than 16 month! I would really like to know why priority is given to newer applicants after June 2012 while the older cases were treated unfairly?
I don't understand why applying 3 months earlier, while submitting to the same agency - CIO in Sydney NS - can possibly make our cases "backlog" cases? The applicants didn't do anything wrong, why should we be treated differently and unfairly and suffer from the consequences of government's decision to re-organize CIC?
I would really appreciate it if CPP-O can shift their priority and focus on backlog cases and clear them as quickly as possible. Clearing the backlog cases first might cause 2 or 3 months delay for newer applicants, but that's a much fairer and responsible decision! If a survey were conducted to the new applicants about this issue, I bet they would also support clearing backlog cases first.
I wouldn't mind waiting. I understand immigration is a long road. I understand CIC is understaffed and in this economy, the government need to find ways to cut costs and save money. However, sacrificing a smaller group of people and treat them unfairly just to make overall processing time reasonable for everyone else isn't the proper way to do it!
Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.
