Time for processing under new Simplified PR system

[kasal]

Can somebody please tell me how long it takes to process PR application for Skilled Worker under the new regime that started in Sept 06? My application submitted in Sept has not been acknowledged 3 months after! Am worried though it was confirmed delivered to Canada Embassy.
Thanks

Look at the processing times for the CHC where you sent you application.  It won't any shorter and unless the points are raised it will be longer.  see: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/times-int/02a-skilled-fed.html

Thanks for your response PMM.
It then means that it will take an applicant about 5 years to get his application processed through Ghana, where I submitted mine.
That seems to be too long for any worthwhile ambition to relocate!!!
The receipt of mine has not even been acknowledged, 3 months after submission!!! Is there any other way out???

First of all you have to be very, very patient through this process; since it really takes long time, you better believe me my friend, there is not short cuts.

I guess more than 90% of applicants get the process done after some years, depending on the country of application

You are just starting there is a long way to go yet. I guess you AOR is on its way... just be patient!!!!...extremely patient.

Actually the refusal rate for skilled workers is about %50.
