Did any of you got word of excuse, explanation, some information,? ...No... It is not ours problem, that they have to much work..They officially posted lies, twisting the truth, changing processing time, ...They do not report to anybody, they are unorganized bunch of Canadians with Austrian origin, living comfortably in the hart of Europe, spending they vacation time traveling to Rome, France, Athens, and so on, holding positions for ever...Something else: I'm from Quebec and there is not any speeding time for us...I'm so angry, didn't see my husband from May last year, i cant have a vacation of 4 to 8 weeks, and I'm holding responsible job , manager that is responsible for "applications verifications", and because of "to much work" i was unable to take some time this year, to travel and see my husband. This is the hardest time in my life, emotionally, psychologically, economically, ... Canada as country base on human wright charter, is failing us, Canadians, and loosing reputations true it's embassy in Vienna. How i will convince my husband now, that this is democratic , fool of opportunity, organized and friendly place to live... Sincerely...
