Interesting news and discussion on;

Dear Babaji Sarkar Immigration Walayon & All Other members,

Please give your input how will this 2010 plan affects the processing of current applications. Some of us (inclusive of myself) are stuck at some stage of the processing. We exactly don't know what is holding back CHC-ISB for further processing these stuck cases. I would also like to mention that most of the cases which are stuck have not crossed the target deadline of 12 months. Its just that when we compare our timelines with our friends (M.R.S, Imran, Shanbaba, Rao) and with others from India, Singapore and London than we get frustrated (at least me).

Furthermore here are some quotes from the news release of CIC

“We've also brought the backlog of federal skilled worker applicants down from over 630,000 to 425,000—a reduction of more than 30%.” The backlog consists of people who applied before February 27, 2008, the date the Action Plan took effect.

Decision of 205,000 cases in such a short time is remarkable. I wonder how many of these are successful.

Since then, almost 240,000 people have applied to the new federal skilled worker program under the Action Plan. But even with those additional applicants, the total number of people currently awaiting a decision on their application is still 12% lower than when the Action Plan took effect.

12% lower than when the action plan took place means 554,400(old+new) applicants still waiting for a decision.

Kindly read the information at

Government of Canada Tables 2010 Immigration Plan

Update on the Action Plan for Faster Immigration
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/backgrounders/2009/2009-10-30.asp

One more interesting reading is at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/annual-report2009/section2.asp

Nearly six months after the publication of Ministerial Instructions and the Action Plan for Faster Immigration, early results indicate that key objectives are being met.

    * As of June 2009, the number of people in the backlog of federal skilled workers—those who submitted applications prior to February 28, 2008—had been reduced by 29%; while the total federal skilled worker inventory—those received both before and after February 28, 2008—had been reduced by 5%. The Department now has the legislative authority to limit the intake of new applications should the risk of new backlogs emerge.
    * While the Department continues to issue visas for applications in the federal skilled worker stream received prior to February 28, 2008, a growing number of federal skilled worker applications meeting labour market needs identified in the Instructions are being processed as well. As of June 30, 2009, over 2,800 visas were issued for applications received after February 27, 2008.
    * Centralization of the intake of federal skilled worker applications has resulted in clients getting an initial indication of the status of their application more quickly and has increased efficiency in data collection and fee handling. Work continues toward meeting the goal of processing new federal skilled worker applications in six to twelve months.

Please pay attention to red paragraph. Does this mean that only 2800 VISAS issued for applicants after February 27,2008.

Looking for your valuable inputs

hello manj, hotlier,domingo,tasash and other babajis,
.A.O.A  How r u all brothers. I am applying on monday inshallah. The thing I want to know from u all seniors. I am going to be of 49 on 22nd December. it means I have almost one month and 20 days. If I could not get any reply till 22nd Dec. Will it mean that i lost 2 points?

Second thing is about consultants, 99% are lier. They missguided me and still misguiding, he said u need drafts for every member. But This forum is really very helpful. I asked from u all and discussed with consultant and then he agreed that it should be one. This is the standard of a leading consultant of Lahore.
Plz reply my question..
Thanks

You will be awarded points for your age according to the age at Lock-in-date. This is the date when CIO receives your COMPLETE application regardless of the thing when you get a reply.

Be aware that if your application is returned as incomplete then you will most probably loose your 2 points.

Gujjar Bhai,

In my opinion, you will get full points, because you applied before your 49th birthday. Please do keep the receipt from TCS or DhL with you as this may become vital in case there is a dispute at a later stage. The reply you will get will have the date on which they received your application. I hope the package will reach NS by 10th of November.

Amer Bhai, Kindly update the website, as Hot-Lier is in now in PPR-Request stage.

AOA All,

Dear Hotlier : Many congrats on achieving the milestones and pray for your final succcess. Dear I wrote previously
regarding the reasons/logic to understand why you have not included your family members as accompanying members ?
When you have to fullfill all requirements i.e funds requirements.medical,security check,etc for them. When you are fullfilling these requirement than isn't it wise to include them as accompanying to save the time in future when applying under family class.

Manj/SK are also requested to shed some light on this scenario for the benefits of all forum members.

Thanks
Jojobaba

Hello All,

Could any one of you guys please tell me if I have to write the name of my siblings and parents in additional family info form in URDU and me and my spouse's name in URDU in background declaration form.

If yes then can I write those name in the same box as English after taking the print out and writing Urdu script with pen?

Any help would be much appreciated.
