i have heard that MI3 will give priority from an inquiry made by one of my senior brothers who is a pre-july 2010 applicants under MI-1

yes this is true , i just made a case specific inquiry and reply is like below :
[color=pink]
Thank you for contacting the Immigration Section of the High Commission of Canada in Singapore to request the status of a Skilled Worker application for permanent residence in Canada.[/color]
 
Changes to immigration law in 2008 allow Citizenship & Immigration Canada (CIC) to set, through Ministerial Instructions, the number and type of applications considered for processing each year, and the order in which these applications will be processed.
 
No limit was placed on the number of Skilled Worker applications that could be submitted under first set of instructions (between February 27, 2008 and June 25, 2010).  There was so much interest in the program that the applications received exceeded our capacity to process them within the timeframe originally predicted.  Please visit the CIC website to see actual processing times for the past year.
 
CIC is committed to reducing processing times.  With the introduction of a cap under the second set of instructions (between Jun 26, 2010 and June 30, 2011), we limited the intake of new Skilled worker applications to better match the number we can actually process within the annual levels plan approved by Canada's Parliament.
 
Processing priority is now being given to Skilled Worker applications that meet new eligibility criteria in a third set of Ministerial Instructions (from July 1, 2011).  Details are available on the CIC website.  Because they reflect Canada's current labour market needs, Skilled Worker applications under this most recent set of instructions are put into process on a priority basis as soon as the applications are received.
 
Applicants who applied under previous sets of Ministerial Instructions can anticipate longer wait times before processing of their applications begins.  Those who meet the eligibility criteria of the most recent Ministerial Instructions are free to submit a new application for immediate processing.  They may choose to withdraw a previous application or leave it in process.  Fees will be fully refunded if the withdrawal request is received before processing begins.
 
The application about which you have enquired was submitted under a previous set of Ministerial Instructions.  It is currently in inventory, queued for review based on its application received date.  When we are ready to begin processing, we will contact you to request updated information.   

regards
Canada l0ve

Send a cover letter saying nothing to update ]

You have sixty (60) days from the date of this letter to comply with this request.  If the requested evidence is not received by our office within this timeframe, your application will be assessed on the basis of the information on file.  [ you made it the passing score of 67 then, it has not been decreased now. so nothing to worry now ] if you had the ability to get the PR then when you applied, you will get it now as well ]

Will MI-2 applicants be also asked to submit updated information? Do the applicants have to resubmit forms even if there's no update?

[Benidiction]

Hi, I am glad to see that we the Bangladeshi having a forum to discuss our Immigration Process and its period. I applied ( included my family) for the Immigration to CA back in 2nd Jan 2008, Its been 48 months yet I haven't got any other than the acknowledgement letter from CIC, Singapore office. Does it take 69 months to have 2nd call  from the date of submission ?? It is really frustrating

[jnathan]

Benidiction,

you are well and truly in the backlog now.
CIC is currently giving top priority on the 38 NOC's set by Ministerial instructions #3.
Hopefully you will get your call in later half of 2012 or 2013 or at the worst may never get your PR granted/rejected.

Curious to know what is your NOC?

Hi Could you confirm that which month of 2008 your friend had applied

[ahsan1289]

Will MI-2 applicants be also asked to submit updated information? Do the applicants have to resubmit forms even if there's no update?

Munna Bhai, Canadalove,

MI-2 & MI-3 both are with same NOC and almost same MI. No big change except cap is remarkable. Again, MI-2 applicants have not passed significant time so that VO may ask for update.

Pl find bellow reply from other senior regarding your query .


Everyone unsure about what to send after they received the docs update mail
=============

Everyone received Docs Update letter refer to this post by Qorax

============
1. With this letter your file has come out of the queue & is now ready for further processing.
2. They haven't asked u to send all the docs again... just one [new] IMM0008* & rest "updated" ones, if any.
Meaning:
If there's any changes in your exp, edn, POF, family composition, IELTS retake, travel history etc. u r then required to submit the latest now... else, u don't submit anything except the fresh IMM0008.

Good luck !

Qorax
*Original Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM0008) form: This is a std practice... lately everyone has to file it again.

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/v-o-asked-for-everything-again-qoraxsakimitalipmmleonwayneexplr101-all-t89424.0.html

My personal view is if there is nothing to update, dont send anything except that IMM0008 form with a cover letter saying "No update at this time".

once you send a valid IELTS score to youtr VO, its valid for eternity to CIC. dont mix things up. IELTS result is valid for 2 years. it means IELTS authority keeps your test results and records for 2 years inside their system after which they erase all the records. Now, Once you submit the result to your CIO/VO, say 1 day before that 2 year's deadline, CIO/VO will first check your score with the IELTS authority and they move into something  else with your files. 

Many people are stalled since 2004 even, they have not been told to resend a fresh score.
Confusions should be cleared by now.
