I just wanted to clarify something you said:
"cross reference all supplementary info./docs to the relevant section." - what would u mean by "cross reference"? like u mean make reference? or like put tht extra explanatory letter right after that specific form?

Yes. For example in the application guide it tells you that if you need to use another page or paper to describe or explain one of your answers in more detail, make sure you note the question number and form (i.e. IMM Form XXXX, Question Y) on the extra page/paper that the answer is applicable to so the the VO can match it and track it when they are reading/processing your file. In other words make it clear to them that you are using some kind of system to direct them to any supplementary info. that there is not room for on the forms themselves. Is that a bit more clear?

Wonderful Millslu! You must be so relieved. And your wife must feel semi- alright. It's not over until you're home with her but the biggest pieces are done and the light is starting to shine at the end of the tunnel.

Hi Dadzin, I respectfully disagree, that is not 100% correct and many members on this forum get their MP's involved much sooner. You can actually ask your MP to help at any reasonable time in the process if: your CSE's are not being replied to; if you suspect something has gone wrong after you sent your application; if you have not received an AOR within 90 days; and a few other things they are willing to assist with (i.e. lost files, documents etc.). It is not the Minister directly, it is the Member's office in each riding and most of them have a constituent assistant that deals strictly with immigration inquiries. Having said that, some MP's offices are more helpful than others and if they notice patterns or trends of problems with certain VO's abroad they want to help. It's their job.

I am not suggesting you contact your MP for every little thing; each person has to decide for themselves what they deem as necessary for an inquiry. Our taxes pay the salaries of government employees and we are entitled to hold public servants accountable to service standards. Believe me, it is our responsibility if we do not make one inquiry in 18 months and the gov't "misplaced" our files - they would not likely apologize, and we would probably be asked, why didn't you follow up? They would not necessarliy fast track the file either to rectify their mistake. Many examples of them not owning their mistakes are posted on this forum as well.

Even though the CIC website says 18 months for both the POS & Kingston office, their operational manuals say 12 months (in the service standards for spousal/children PRs) and if you can believe it someone from the Kingston office got a letter the other day that said "6 months" is the service standard. Even when CIC audits their own VOs abroad they itemize these same problems in their own reports all available to the public on their website.

I think, just like with any other process being run by a large bureacracy we have to be the ones to follow up, to gently nudge, to keep the line moving. It is scary to read how many people on this forum have captured errors in their files only because they did the follow up to CIC not vice versa.

I was referring to ministerial relief as in the Minister of Immigration and Multiculturalism. But I hear your point, good stuff
