Application proccessing times for Greek sitizents changed from 10 to 15 months.. I really dont know what i should think about..
Mine went from 10 months back to 9 months as it was before, but no sign that my application is being reviewed. I should get GCMS notes in 10 days, hopefully I get to know what's going on. I am very disappointed by the new government who promised to fix the backlog issue and process Spousal applications faster. We don't need this kind of stress.

We do not deserve this kind of stress for sure. My question is simple.This change of proccesing times efect the applications that they are already in process or the new ones?

It is based on the previous applications being processed, not sure how far back they go. I think they recently changed the processing times, mine was 9 months then became 10 now is back to 9 months.
By extending the deadline they have an excuse not to respond to our inquiries before that.

i think the most unacceptable think is that they DO NOT ANSWER TO MAILS. I 've send them an e mail asking for how many months can i legally stay in Canada if my application is not finalized and no answer.Im fying on Saturday and i am really full of stress

You can stay as long as a Greek citizen is allowed to stay in Canada as a tourist. You ask at the boarder when you arrive here on Saturday.

Me bere te qesh me ate "ngela ketu". Edhe une nuk di ça te bej per bilete per festa ne dhjetor se po pres ndonje pergjigje nga Roma. Bileta kushton almost double te shkosh ne shqiperi ne ate sezon. Taksirat i madh.
