I am not sure what these rants accomplish, except arguments. There is absolutely nothing else accomplished by them, except making yourselves feel worse.
@volkov: Does't your partner still have status in Canada? From what I recall, she does. Did she flee a place where she feels that she could be seriously injured or killed? Perceived or real, it's totally not even close to the same class -- at all. Like, the only commonality here is CIC and a request to remain in Canada.
Got it that you are waiting for CIC to get on with your lives. I will remind everyone that, you did actively choose inland. It's a choice you made. Whether it was through uninformed consent, or you made it and later regretted. You chose this. You also were aware (or had easy access) to finding out what the posted rate of processing times....
Reminder: That was 26 months until December 2016. You could have selected outland, why didn't you? I'd be happy to hear the answer to that....please, everyone, indulge me.
I can answer that for most everyone, I bet. You wanted to be with your loved ones while they processed the application you submitted. You couldn't stand being apart for 12+ months....
Your case may not be as complex as a refugee -- but they are fearful for their lives, and you are not. I'd say they would take priority. #HumanDecency .
