**** MAY 2010 APPLICANTS ****

[sadika]

Good Analysis DestinationBC,

here is what I am guessing, from the email of London VO, between February 27, 2008 and June 25, 2010 they received 425,000 applications of which 144,000 of these have not yet received a decision. if they can issue 55,000 in 2011 June to 2012 June then (144,000-55,000)= 89,000 left for 2012 June to 2013 June, so (89,000-55,000) =39,000 will be waiting for 2014. so they wont be able to clear the whole backlog until 2015.

Correct me guys if my calculation was wrong.

Yes u r right.total number of applicants will be 144,000+14,000(postjune2010)+10,000 fresh postjuly2011= 1,68000+AEO cases(12,000) , so total of 1,80000 applicants with 60,000 visas per year means it will take complete 3 years to finish all including fresh new FSW. For jan,feb2010 cases they will finish in 2011end. march, april in 2012 end and may ,june in 2013 end.Just predicting in this way.

Yea, Sadika. you're right. if they increase the number of their officers in coming years then they might speed up the process.

Breaking News: Changes Announced for Three Canadian Immigration Programs
June, 2011

01Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has announced changes that will be made to three of Canada’s federal immigration programs effective July 1, 2011. In order to reduce the backlog of economic applications, CIC will be adjusting the intake of applications from certain immigration categories.
Federal Skilled Worker Program

To qualify for the Federal Skilled Worker Program, applicants must have at least one year of paid work experience in one of the 29 eligible occupations or have a valid job offer from a Canadian employer. CIC has just announced that the list of 29 eligible occupations will remain the same for the coming 12 months; however, fewer applications will be accepted for processing. As of July 1, 2011, only 500 applications will be accepted for processing per occupation and only 10,000 applications will be considered in total for the coming 12 months. Applicants who have a validated job offer from a Canadian employer will not be affected by the caps.

Attorney David Cohen encourages applicants to submit their applications as soon as possible, “These 29 open occupations will fill up very quickly. Speaking from my own experience, a number of our clients have anticipated that the same occupations would reopen and they already have their files ready for submission for July 1st. It is important that your application gets submitted quickly and that you get it right the first time. There will be no room for error as occupation caps will be filled quickly, especially in the popular occupations.”

Find out if you qualify for Canadian Permanent Residency by completing our Canadian immigration assessment form.

Federal Immigrant Investor Program

CIC has announced that as of July 1, 2011, the number of Federal Immigrant Investor applications accepted for processing will be capped at 700 for the coming 12 months. Canadian financial institutions, which act as facilitators in this program, are reporting that applicants will be required to submit government processing fees, a copy of their passport, and completed simplified forms to the Centralized Intake Office in Sydney, Nova Scotia. All other supporting documents will be required at a later stage of the processing.

To qualify for the Federal Immigrant Investor Program, applicants must have:
• Prior business experience;
• A minimum net worth of C$1,600,000 CAN; and
• Make a C$800,000 CAN secured investment.

“Given the demand for this program, especially from Chinese nationals, we expect this imposed cap limit to be reached extremely quickly… probably within a matter of days,” says Attorney David Cohen. “Applicants should keep in mind that Quebec has its own Immigrant Investor Program which could be a great option for applicants who cannot submit under the Federal Investor Program as Quebec will be increasing the number of applications accepted under its program.”

The Government of Quebec is expected to make an announcement regarding its Immigrant Investor Program early next week.

Moratorium on the Federal Immigrant Entrepreneur Program

As of July 1, 2011, CIC will not be accepting any new Federal Entrepreneur applications. CIC has not stated when the Federal Entrepreneur Program will begin accepting new applications. Applicants are encouraged to submit their application to the Quebec Entrepreneur Program or to one of the various Business Immigration Programs offered by the provinces.

RBVO is the message displayed in your E-Cas.full meaning is Received By Visa Office, it was shortened to RBVO.
you can check your E-Cas with the following link

https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do?app=ecas

but you are gonna be needing your immigration file number which is given in your 1st AOR (Acknowledgement Of Receipt) - that is acknowleding that your application has been received and has passed the first phase and on the way to your respective visa office for further investigation.

I hope that helps
