Some days I am so frustrated with my VO I feel like just withdrawing my application and move on with my life. It is so unfair that we have paid fees for application processing yet we cannot get simple email response for application specific inquiry despite the processing times passing for many months. My Application will be 1 year old next week's weekend. Add that I had previous four months application which was cancelled due to incompleteness, I have been dealing with visa applications for a year and half! Further 1 year of document collections, damned IELTS, etc... It is insane.
All the excitement of migrating to Canada completely drained by the process and inhumane, indecency of no communication from VO whatsoever. For them it is just work, for us it is our lives.
It has nothing to do with the pandemic as they were unresponsive even well before that. I will give them one more month before making up my mind.
