I have a question for the veterans here. In my experience, CIC is definitely not working FOR us but against us. If I were a customer of theirs (which I actually am since I paid them to do work for me and also pay income tax) I would have fired them long ago for inaction and incompetence (lost items I had to resubmit). According to their own dates on ECAS, our application sat there 5 months after my SA. After they required more documents (proof of my residence here), we rushed them to CIC and they sat for 2 more months. Now they tell us that our medical report is expired, we'll have to get another. All because they took their sweet time, now WE have to pay more and wait even longer. I called my MP's office and they said they wouldn't interfere in the process.
These bureaucrats seem to do what they want when they want, imposing all kinds of ridiculous requirements, with NO accountability to anyone!!! Besides hiring a lawyer to sue them, is there any way to complain about the handling of applications?
I called the CIC minister's office and was told I'd have to send an e-mail to the minister. Did that change anything when others have done so?
Thanks for your help.
