Hello friends,
I think am really very unlucky person among September applicants.I have requested for GCMS notes in May first week and haven't received yet.. really sad about cic processing process..They are not processing few of our's applications...It's really frustrating..The process is gone to December applicants and still we are waiting for a response..really feeling sad for being here..When they ask to submit additional documents within 30 days, why can't process those documents atleast in 60 days..????
WHen did you apply? And if you have passed the processing times, I say reach out to your MP and ask them for assistance. If you feel you can reach out to your MP anytime and not worry about processing's times.
Few people on here have done and they now at least have some answer.

Please people be patient. CIC website shows clearly that the average processing time for CEC PR application is 13 months.... we are in month 10....

Yes people get it earlier so this is a clear sign they are doing a great job.

We didn't get that lucky. That is fine and within budget.

So intead of complaining and saying bad things about CIC look at things in perspective, CIC is withing estimated time, so nothing to argue here.

I tend to agree with you but this is due to good examples set by CIC :) . If all have been waiting that there must not be any complaint from anyone...Also..there must be a reason for delay...I am also waiting since 2 months...

Complaint could make them work more effectively. At least, they should let us know what happened, or what we are lack of. After all, all of us paid processing fees and all of us are tax payers.

I agree with Jalex, we were told upfront of the processing time, I don't think we should be complaining now or rather at all as we are in the processing period. And paying tax has nothing to do with becoming a resident. Our tax gets us medical and health coverage and other benefits. Our tax does not pay their salaries.
Emily_CEC, hate to call you out, but check your attitude towards this, becoming a resident first followed by citizen eventually is a privilege and not a birth or tax right for us.
I say lets wait and hope for the best. I am waiting as well and many others are waiting. When it has to happen it will.

Ok, bafakih, could you tell me where the officers' salaries come from? Are you satisfy with the Canadian effectiveness? Why Canada is lagging further and further behind the US these years?

Additionally, this forum is a platform for all applicants to communicate with each other. We can express what we think here. We can encourage each other, and we can also complain together. What's wrong?

Finally, we could tolerate the 13 months processing time, but that doesn't mean we could blindly wait. What we want to know is the reason why we delay compared to most of september applicants, not just a "under processing" reply, because the ECAS has already told us it's under processing.

In my case, i applied for GCMS more than one and half month before.But, nothing received yet.I applied before and received in one month. Is there anybody who applied for GCMS in may 7 and waiting out there?..CIC never knows how we are tensed about our applications..In the experience class all the applicants are working for canada before they apply..So at least they should consider our handwork for this country..I always respect the canada laws and policies ..but CIC should have certain rules in processing the applications as per the submission date..Everybody knows the processing time, but the processing for all the applications should have a time period even with additional document requests…Its human nature, to get worried if somebody who applied two or three months after getting finalized without any response for own application…Friends please don't feel bad about the comments of the waiting applicants… :(

Emily: if Canadian effectiveness is an issue for you and if you feel like US is a lot faster in processing applications, then please move to the US. When the US Immigration department keeps you waiting for 8 years for a Green card and then another 5 years for the Citizenship then you will appreciate your Canadian counter part. Your tax dollars pay for your medical and health which you don't have to pay for when you visit the doctor.
Encouraging means giving people hope and staying positive, encouraging does not mean questioning, spreading anger and hate.

I hope not, but if you cross your 13 month mark and still do not get your PR, you may complain, but even then you do not have the right to be condescending and say things like who pays for their salary. Like I said, its a privilege to become PR in this country and not our right. Please understand that and at the least be respectful to CIC officers. Every month they get new applications files and they are doing their best to keep everyone happy.
Emily I am sadden by your attitude as such attitude is not needed in this world, we should all promote respect and understanding for each other. I can only hope this process teaches you something good other than hate.

I don't want to argue with you here, and I really don't need your suggestion about where should I go. We all want Canada becomes better and better, that's why we choose to immigrate this country. However, that doesn't mean Canada is the best all over the world. Isn't there any need for CIC to improve their procedures? Plz be objective, don't say something emotionally. If you look at my previous replies, you will know I didn't spread anger or hate, I just present the facts like other waiting applicants.

It's you who don't tolerate different point of views and voices. Generosity is what this immigration country need, not the criticizes and ironies towards people who don't agree with you.

Thank you for your reply and paying attention to my words, but it doesn't mean you have the right to accuse me like a teacher.
