Response from CHC New Delhi.....!!!

[satwant08]

Hi...I got this reply from New Delhi VO.

Dear Sir/Madam,

This is in response to your recent email enquiry to the Immigration Section of the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi.

If you applied as a Federal Skilled Worker on or after  February 27, 2008 and before  June 26, 2010 , your application will take two years or more to be processed. This is due to the fact that Canada received over 425,000 applications under this program during this period.

Unfortunately, it will take longer to process federal skilled worker applications submitted under the first set of instructions (between February 27, 2008 and June 25, 2010) than originally projected.

During this time, the department received applications for more than 425,000 people, and 144,000 of these have not yet received a decision.

This number represents more than twice the number of projected admissions under the federal skilled worker program in 2011, so many of these applicants will have to wait two years or more to be processed.

We trust that this information will be of assistance.

No, they process the applications are per the Minister's instructions.  If you applied before 27/02/08 there is a good chance that it will be many years before the application sees the light of day.  Those applications filed after that date that confirm to the Instructions will be processed.

BTW my status changed to "In Process" three weeks ago, but inside same as RBVO. May be they have put my case in a queue to start processing. Hope to hear something positive soon.
