I just called the office of the minister of immigration in order to express my concern regarding the extended wait times at the Etobicoke office and ask if there’s anything that can be done. The person that answered the phone brushed me off, he said if people have been waiting for two years then with covid it could be three and then he laughed. I informed him that the long wait times have been a problem prior to covid and it’s negatively affecting families and asked there’s anything that can be done, he said that most of the time they are waiting on information from the applicant’s country. That is simply not true. This is the Minister’s number 613-954-1064. I suggest as many people that would like to see change call them. We need our voices to be heard. Not sure it will make a difference but I feel once your file is transferred to Etobicoke you are forgotten bc they think that there’s a possibility that your relationship is not genuine. That is unfair.
