OMG they are slow this week. Not alot of PPR's!
Taking there good ole time.
Here's what I don't get. We pay a good fee for immigration service. I'm sure none of us would mind paying more if it meant they could hire enough help to give us quality and fast service. I, as a tax paying Canadian, pay a good amount of taxes to my government. As it stands right now, 12 months of processing time for a Spousal Sponsorship is just unacceptable. If they are overloaded with work (that's there excuse), then by all means hire additional help. I don't know if it's just incompetence on there part or what ?!!! The Mississuaga office approves Sponsors in 30 days! That's the level of standard and service all embassies should adhere to most especially Manila. More applications means more revenue so they can surely afford to hire additional help! I am very dissatisfied with Canadian Embassy Manila!
When you call, they can't entertain you. When you email, they don't reply. The ecas Status isn't updated until you get a PPR request. They estimate 12 months processing for a Spousal Sponsorship! No other institution or company could get away with such poor service other than Immigration! This is poor standard from a Canadian perspective as well as Filipino! It's an embarrassment to Canadians and Filipino's alike. If this was a publicly traded company, the manager would be FIRED!
