@Sokara: ADVO are doing their best & I believe they have a lot of application to process from different countries in the region.
It is not proper to mention the words "Damn" & "Hate" or say "control officers / supervise their work"... If this is your opinion then please keep it for yourself.
I don't think any Visa Office for CIC will delay an application if an individual contacts them. It was not professional at all from your side to mention this.
You may not know the load they have, I am sure they are overloaded. Please show some respect at least for the people working on your case.
Not sure why you are personally offended. Yes CIC delay applications of people who contact them and they said that to me personally and it is everywhere on the internet!
Second, this forum is for everyone and everyone has the right to say their opinion, and no, not all officers are not doing their best job. Some of them are being careless. When they process applications for some countries in 4 months and applications for other countries in 24 months, there is definitely a corrupt system here.
If you are one of those people who were blessed to have their application processed faster, or not suffering emotionally or financially, you should know that there are people truly suffering. I am one of those people who first suffered because CIC officers lost my application for 3 months and didn't tell me about it. Then because my government changed and all their forms changed, the officers again spend 5 months trying to verify the PC is genuine which they found it was genuine so they wasted 5 months of our time because they were ignorant of the change. Mind you, this check can be done in a few days. All they have to do is call the office that issued the PC!
And since September, they have been doing background check, which they conduct for others in a matter of weeks! My husband and I are currently destroyed emotionally and financially so the word damn is not enough. And yes, there must more control over those officers and their work should better be supervised.
