Had my wife applied as a spouse of a Canadian it would have taken 6 months. She wanted to apply on her own merits as a skilled worker, 2 years later she is now a PR. To everyone who filed their FSW application prior to June 26th, understand that there are Canadian's like me who think the system needs to be reformed. We had an election recently, and I voted for somebody who believed in immigration reform. Let me tell you that there are federal members of parliament who believe 2 years for somebody waiting on PR that has been working inside Canada and contributing taxes is not acceptable. I hope everyone who was in our situation hears something soon. If you merit being a resident of Canada, then you deserve to have your application completed in a sensible time frame and I apologize to you on behalf of all Canadians who don't understand why our system is the way it is.
