Greetings friends. Today my husband picked up his Canadian passport. I have been on this forum seeking advice and support since 2012 when I sponsored my husband. Thank you all for your help. I have been studying in the US for the last two years, but my husband has been unable to attain a US visa to visit me; I have been travelling back and forth from New Jersey to Toronto 1-2 times a month so we can be together. Everyone has a reason for why they want to be a citizen and so it can be frustrating when the process takes so long. Allow people to vent, allow people to celebrate, allow this to be a safe space. Thanks again and good luck!

for all those who are waiting more than 12 months.. i encourage to go and give the feedback.,....apparently the government has some service commitment.... processing more than 80% files within the time frame... to the very least they`ll know the complaints officially..!!!
They claim to process 80% of routine application. Now as to people waiting more than a year can be claimed as non routine. They always keep a door open to blame
I have never got additional information request..or FP request.. or anything else... so my app is still a ROUTINE one.. + passed normal processing times... so my complaint is valid
Be careful what you wish for ...
I went on for 17 months with no request for anything until I got FP request last month - just because you are “routine” now doesn’t mean you won’t be non-routine along the way ....

Damn eh ... FP after 17 months of processing. Idk what's wrong with IRCC lately.
I am planning to go FC mandamus route but usually lawyers say we have to wait 3 years from the date we have applied. Idk what else I can do. Sometimes I think to just go back home permanently as this process has no end for me.
