My brother was married in 2010 and till this date his case has been stuck in legalities and our family has suffered greatly for it. He has had to miss the first 3 years of his daughter's life and that's something he won't ever get back.

I applied in September 2014, Application No.: F000303803. Me and my spouse have been married for 1 and a half year.. I visited him in India for our first wedding anniversary however if the NDVO processes applications at this pace..i won't be able to be with my spouse this year..which is very disheartening. 

Please support us and take an action...any help will be greatly appreciated.

A sincere thank you in advance.

For my husband and me, in India, it's 18 months. If it is not bad enough, CIC adds more flavor to it. Timelines extend beyond CIC's set standards in at least 20% of the cases. CIC's official website states that within the past 3 quarters, they have failed to meet standards on one-third of the total applications. This is when the number of total accepted applications has only dropped down in the past 5 years. Also, CIC has closed public access to information. In short, CIC is making life-changing decisions taking longer time, grant lesser approval, failing to meet their own set standards and with-holding information.
We would understand the need for testing the legitimacy of marriage. But, CIC does no investigations and decision is based only on application. So, opening the application should be all the time needed.
Marriage is solemn sanctuary for people in love. For them to stay together is the law of nature. Canada is famously known for its multicultural society but yet, it has allowed CIC to be viciously successful in keeping loved ones apart and families fractured.
