Thank you for your kind words brother, I really admire the confidence I take from every single one of you.
But don't have any hope with any government, government changes but system and provisions remains the same. So just hoping other people who apply doesn't go through the stressful period we are going through, also hope they don't have goto a level of sharing their personal dignity with these officers to prove their marriage like we did. INSHA ALLAH.
You can see they knew everything about the delivery date of my baby, but till today nothing changed in my status. Also thought to go and take media's help in my case , but don't want to jeopardize my case more.

.
Now after surrendering to CIC my second war is with my employer who is not giving me more than 2 weeks off as I am a contract worker in Alberta.
Going to media does not jeopardize your case. They would need strong reasons for doubting your relationship, or very bad medical condition of wife or a security threat to Canada and you have already passed eligibility assessment.
A popular media show for these kinds of issues is CBC's
Go Public.
I have seen 2 episodes with immigration issues. When the politicians including immigration minister would not acknowledge their family immigration issues, the sponsors went public by approaching the media.
Here are two episodes dealing with family immigration problems broadcasted on CBC Go Public:
Adam Aboushady, baby of Canadian residents, stranded in Egypt by immigration rules

I knew of some friends that had gone through the spousal sponsorship process over 10 years ago and asked about their experience.
The processing times were
much faster. Also, the MPs were more responsive in expediting cases for exceptional circumstances.
You only had to do a medical exam once when they cleared your background checks.
The difference was that it was under a
Liberal Government instead of a
PC Government.
Here is Liberal MP questioning the Head of CIC about family sponsorship processing times. I think the video was from 2008. Have not watched it in a while.

You would need to skip to
2:15 in the video.
You would need a proxy for viewers from Pakistan like Hi Load Proxy as I learned that youtube is blocked there.
What really annoyed me was the CIC Head laughing after these serious issues have been raised.
