The ad should be up for at least 14 days (meaning, you or any one else should be able to see it for at least 14 days); the wages should be at least the prevailing rates for the position (not lower).

Online apps are taking about 7 to 14 days too. They are cleaning house as they are implementing GCMS at the end of the month in Vegreville.

Hi Ellif,

My employer have applied on the same date.First time application. He was telling to brace for a longer than usual result ???. Please post yours when it's out ha.. Thanks

Great to know! Hope Service Canada does something about their processing too. Looks like it's a deliberate ploy to slow down LMOs so Vegreville can catch up on its backlog.

I can see how it looks like that. But it's not. Two different departments and computer systems. Roll out of GCMS was planned since 2008. I'll bet the backlog will be back at CIC once it's up and running. And Service Canada doesn't look like it's going to speed up anytime soon without more manpower. And there's some contract negotiation going on as well that has been a bit dicey according to the news reports.
