Hi,
Also, I applied to CIC Sydney in Jun 2010 (before June 26) for Federal Skilled Worker.
My visa office is Rome and I am under Skilled worker category.

CIC asked me to send all documents to Rome VO in Oct 2010. Sent all document to Rome VO in DEC 2011. I had a letter in May 2011 to inform us that the processing times are on average 12-18 months and that I will be informed approximately 2 month prior to the date of interview, if required. Meanwhile my Client Application Status has changed to Received by Visa Office and hasn't changed till today.
Do any of you know how long will it take to review and finalize my case?  12-18 Months count from the moment the CIC received the application or when VO received the full package of supporting documents.
The interview is a common procedure for all applicants or only some of them pass through this process for some reasons?

18 months count starts from full package submission date or say from 2nd AOR date.
Interview is not compulsory process they can ask for interview if they have any doubt or query that can be cleared by personal interaction or sometime they pick randomly to maintain quality process.

Thank you for your promt answer dear "lakhvinder.kaur",
I was thinking the same but I was not sure for how they count the procesing time. VO rome already had updated the procesing time to 20 months (:...
It seems that we have to wait for long.
I wish you Good luck this new year!

Guys here are some good news:

The Department of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) have announced they plan to accept even more immigrants under the Federal Skilled Worker program in 2012.

In its report to the Parliament of Canada, CIC has indicated that in 2010 they admitted over 280,000 immigrants, an increase of over 11.3 percent over the previous year, and the highest number of immigrants in the last 50 years. Around 67 percent of those admitted were economic immigrants with 40 percent of these being Federal Skilled workers.

In 2012, Canadian immigration plans to accept 55,000–57,000 Federal Skilled Workers, which is up from 47,000–47,400 in 2011. The Canadian government stressed that these additional numbers will help meet market demand, as well as reduce the backlog of applicants for the skilled worker immigration program from previous years.

In a recent speech, Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney expressed his optimism about the program and about Canadian immigration, "The government's number one priority remains the economy. We recognize the importance of immigration to our labour market and we value the contributions of skilled immigrants who add to our international competitiveness."

Canadian immigration completed an extensive review of the Federal Skilled Worker Program in 2010, which seemed to suggest that the program was working well and was leading to the selection of immigrants who perform well economically. The report also found that 89 percent of Federal Skilled Workers were employed or self-employed three years after landing in Canada. This would appear to suggest a strong continuing need for skilled immigrants in Canada.

"CIC will continue to ramp up efforts to modernize our immigration system to make it more nimble and responsive to labour market needs," said Kenney.
