Petition for Spouse Immigration Process delay

To: Ministry of Citizenship & Immigration Canada   AND   CHC-Islamabad

This is the Petition for  Spouse Immigration Canada Processing Delay at Canadian High Commission Islamabad.

The current (2010) Average time for Application processing = 9 months
This average time is mentioned in most Acknowledgment Of Receipt letters sent by CHC-Islamabad but the reality is far different with average time of processing 12 to 14 months. Things get even scarier for some applicants who have to wait for more than a year and some of the unfortunates are waiting from last 2 years. In some cases CHC-Islambad stay silent from 6 months to 18.

Now imagine you got married and started your relationship in full swing (With no premarital relationship) and had to file spouse immigration to live together so, after few days of unforgettable sweet memories with your spouse you move 10 thousand miles away & for how much time? no one knows!. The authority who knows doesn't inform you about the status for months and years which end frustration, disappointment and jolts to your relationship.

We believe CHC-Islamabad should speed up the Spouse Immigration Process with average time of  4 months and maximum of 6 months with NO Exceptions. If there are complications in case the applicant should be kept informed with updates.

We hope our raised voice would bring some change for spouse immigrants in Pakistan
