It feels so unfair to see some 2014 applicants struggling.
I have a similar story. Application submitted on 9th Jan 2014, In Feb 2016 Notificed CiC about a change due passing away of my dad, didn't lose my spot, but they asked me to resubmit sponsor declaration and application. No support documents were asked.
May 2016 - asked to provide proof of relationship. , in June 2016 - finally got approved as a sponsor. August 2016 - Processing starts.
Oct 2016 - Medicals , PCC and RRPS requested, No update since then till two days back they want Proof of relationship from my mom, which is weird as this was already submitted.
its ridiculous to see how they are functioning, I am not hopeful that my case will go any forward like this. Its sad. Anyone else in a similar boat?
