Backlog In Federal Skilled Worker Applications

[(INDIAN)]

Opened on November 06, 2011
 

We, the undersigned, are here by writing to inform you about delayed and indiscriminate response from Citizenship and Immigration Canada to our immigration files as applicants of federal skilled worker in 38 occupations category.

We have submitted our immigration files to Damascus visa office and received an email bearing our file numbers and mentioning our applications will be finalized within 12 months time.

Also, in that email, the migrants were strongly urged to use the following months not YEARS to gather information and empower themselves to be able to cope with living and working conditions in Canada.

During the time, a huge number of applicants have closely monitored the procedure specifically in Damascus office and postponed any new changes in their private lives as well as sacrificing other alternatives including national and international occupational or educational opportunities counting on reliability and accountability of a democratic state such as Canada.

For the time being, it has been observed that some files for after June the 26th, 2010 have received medicals which, from our angle, is completely unfair and arbitrary and raised concerns among those who have lodged their files in the FAST TRACK category more than 2 years ago. Even worse, 18 occupations out of 38 occupations of former category are exactly the same in the new 29 occupations list and the latter ones are receiving their medicals with the SAME occupation code to the detriment of former applicants which is an act of crying injustice.

As an incumbent you ought to be informed that lately the minister of Citizenship and Immigration Canada has given a speech praising the modern and responsive immigration service without presenting sensible solutions cutting the huge backlog which could be called “escaping forward strategy”. On this basis the minister seems giving unpromising promises and his comments have fuelled fears that he may dismiss the processing of 38 occupation category for years through a hidden agenda.

However, if the applications prolong beyond a reasonable time, it could do damage to Canadian reputation as a welcoming country for high-skilled immigrants; so there would be no point expecting a higher life style standards in Canada as a disappointing matter of fact.

Thus, it has made us wondered whether you as a responsible authority on immigration issue could provide some sort of support on the processing of the FAST TRACK 38 occupation applicants according to C-50, since We do believe that the immigration department should Feel responsible toward all applicants and keep its promises as well.

With a growing backlog, particularly in the FSW category, individuals with the skills and experience that Canadian employers want, wait years to be admitted.  We must have an immigration system that effectively balances Canada's own needs with its popularity as a destination.  That is why the Government of Canada proposed changes to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA).  On June 18, 2008, these changes became law.   

Until these amendments to IRPA, applications in the largest backlog—federal skilled workers—used to be processed in the order they were received, regardless of whether the applicants' skills or professions would enable them to find a job in Canada.

As you may be aware, on November 28, 2008, Minister Kenney announced an Action Plan for Faster Immigration.  It included issuing instructions to visa officers reviewing new applications under the FSW Program.  The first set of Ministerial Instructions (MI-1) applied to applications received on or after February 27, 2008, up to June 25, 2010.  On June 26, 2010, Minister Kenney announced changes to the FSW Program and a new set of instructions (MI-2).

Under MI-1, CIC used this new authority under immigration law to control the type of applications received, but not the number.  The number of applications received exceeded the ability to process them in a timely way.  CIC introduced caps on June 26, 2010 on the FSW program as part of MI-2.  We have limited the intake of new FSW applications to better match the number that we can actually process within the annual levels plan tabled in Parliament.  FSW applications under MI-2 are processed on a priority basis.   

CIC has received enough FSW applications since February 27, 2008, to reach immigration levels for the next two years. Unfortunately, it will take longer to process those submitted under the first set of instructions (between February 27, 2008 and June 25, 2010) than originally projected.  This number represents more than twice the number of projected admissions under the program in 2011.

The Department's goal is to make the immigration system more responsive to labour market needs. By giving priority to FSW applications received on or after June 26, 2010, CIC is responding to the most urgent labour market needs first.  The length of time it takes to finalize an application under this program varies from one visa office to another since visa offices face different challenges.  CIC continues to work towards global service standards and the use of departmental standard forms to minimize such regional variations as much as possible.

I want to assure you that the Department closely monitors backlog and processing times, and continues to explore new ways to improve service while maintaining the integrity of Canada's immigration program.
