Hi med. The link is http://www.forum.immigrer.com/index.php?showforum=12
The only province that has any differences in immigration than the rest of Canada is Quebec. Other than that, there is a rule in procedural fairness governing immigration that is probably causing the delays for some of us. It states, "whomever views must decide." What it means is that whatever visa officer began processing the file MUST be the one to make the decision. They cannot transfer a file to another Visa Officer because of workload, etc. So in some ways it's just the luck of the draw. It could be that whomever is looking at our file has a bigger case load, has more complicated cases on their desk, is or was on vacation or is just incompetent.
I am hoping that there is nothing wrong with our file and that there is no other reason for the delay. In fact, that's what I'm praying!!!
