Yeah it was on cbc.ca this morning too. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/legacy-refugees-resources-dion-1.4191984

Problem is: Refugees do not generate operating capital. They operate as a net loss. The government therefore has to put the money into feeding the system. At this point, they have already tossed a few million at SCLP and FC to make the processing faster (this is a net positive system), but they do not have the manpower to keep up. The IRB tribunals are heard by officers from the other classes.

I agree the whole immgration system is a mess, lIke new proccess say 12 months yet in some cases they are skipping some 2015 and 2016 cases

lmao! Become that which I loathe... there is something about that, that feels .... hmm.... WRONG? I am not sure I could afford the extra soap or water that I would be using trying to scrub the dirty away!

$2k each surgery. First one July 24th they will pull the old tooth out and dig (deep) into the gum and jaw to get the pieces of the rod they put in to anchor the tooth during a root canal they did in Moscow some years ago.

The rod became brittle and broke because the jaw bone is receding (unknown cause, according to the peridontist). So, they have to put in some "donor bone" to build it up again. Let heal 4-8 mos.

Next up is a screw into her skull to hold the new crown in. Then install the crown some 4 months later.
It's a lot of money... but money aside, I hope everything will go well and without too much pain for your wife!

I am sure she will be ok. The peridontist is apparently pretty sought after... He even practices in Michigan... He promised no pain.

80% of cases in 12mos. To be fair, they're trying very hard to meet that lofty goal. I am not so sure cases are being skipped. I believe some cases don't pass the quick look test (those waiting on SA or AIP), or their security clearances are delayed. And even still, to make sure the right determinations are made, they still have to pick cases for QA to make sure the processors are doing a good job at this speed.

It's easy to be judgemental when you don't know the specifics or how the system's work. That's not necessarily helpful to those waiting either. All it does is feed negativity into an already gargantuan task..

No, you call the same number you were calling before but then instead of going through sponsorship, follow the keys to get through citizenship and then they'll transfer you

After 45-minute wait, an agent answered my call. He made a note in the file and told me to wait for reply from CIC officers. Got kinda eased, but not completely until new landing interview date confirmed.

I understand, there job is extremely tough becase they are weeding out real marriages and fake marriages and your right i should not need negative. Your right about security and background checks because they need information about the person and it takes time.

Gotta stay positive :)

The bright side is, their delay can earn them a quicker landing spot.. kinda like yours, right :).

Still no PR card! Advantage: she has to wait longer and thus stay here..

She is crazy... Left me home alone to go out with work colleagues... Doesn't she know, this is when profiler the wizard comes out? Plus, who will cook dinner?? There is no adult here :)

Happy weekend everyone! Looks like it is shaping up to be fantastic!
