Re-Applying NEED ADVICE!

[devilhimselff]

Hi Guys and Gals,
Please guide me on this issue. The scenario is like this;

My wife applied as a Principal Applicant in Sep 2006, and after that letter asking for interest in withdrawal there has been nothing. And the file was transferred to London office in Oct 2010. And to date nothing.

I am getting really close to re-applying (doctor), within this month or next. As the cap for Specialist/GP is still not reached. The points scored by both of us (wife and me) are well over the required limit of 67, so that is not the problem.

Please can you guide me in making a decision in this context. Also will we have to include a WITHDRAWAL letter for previous application along with the NEW application and documents etc that we send to Canada central intake office.

The time taken and the strange let down for the old applicants is really a sad thing. They Canadian immigration should have got done with the old applicants quicker    they could have filtered out the Jobs required and people who applied earlier and had them processed earlier, but I guess that never happened.

Anyways I will be really obliged if the learned forum members can help me out in making a decision. There is really no other better source of info, other than this forum.
THANKS

Maybe your name is scary! Maybe that's why people are not contributing! My personal opinion - plx do not take it personal

I think you can run a parallel application with your wife, before I also think about that my wife can apply as another PA but unfortunately there CAP closed. I read from this forum that some has this parallel application and just wait for the time that the VO will give an advise to widraw the other. Just see which application comes to the finish line first. JUst my inputs its still you that have to decide.

Your wife dont have to withdraw her application.
You can also apply anytime and most probably you can enjoy faster processing if you apply now.
You have to write a letter to the visa officer explaining him about your case and application details of your wife as well.

I did a parallel applications. You don't need to mind your wife's application. Just submit a new application and you be the principal applicant if you want to pay the processing fee again. Actually, you should do that earlier because you are eligible to the rules of post June 26. Now, the CIO is planning to have a new rule again, it propabaly comes out in June, 2011. We might be in backlog at that time. My experience is: " submit an application at the begining of new rules, then you get a big chance of high priority". No need to have a withdraw letter at this moment. Good luck.

Thanks for the info. As always the forum is the most helpful thing we Canadian Immi "Candidates" have.
I think I will apply and see where it goes.

Anyways what is the time taken by the London office in deciding the applications (Fast Tracked). I will be applying from Oman to London (First offcourse direct to Canada central intake office)
