Strike requires Action

[Awano]

Asalaam u Alaikum and Hello everyone,

I am a Pakistani Canadian Citizen living in Ontario, Canada. I have sponsored my husband in Pakistan.
As most of us know that time for Pakistani's application processing time is ridiculously a lot. Waiting for the spouse for 32 months. That's is just wrong. And to top everything off, Canadian Visa offices all over the world has gone on strike which therefore, delays the process time even more. I filed my case for my spouse in 2012 January. May 2013 is when they requested for his medical and after that we've heard nothing from them. I know that there is not much of a wait left to go but I would still like us all to gather here and give feedback as to what we should all do here in Canada as Canadian citizens.

Regards,

Awano

Pakistan takes a long time, because that country is rife with marriage fraud and bogus refugee claimants. Even on this forum, I've lost count on how many refugee claimants were from Pakistan. Its no different than Singapore, Ghana, etc, whose processing times are also quite long.
