I wonder why is Canada Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Department. have never published a monthly or Semiannual Visa Bulletin to summarizes the availability of immigrant visa, processing time, number of visa issued, and all other details of all visa offices to make our life easier. Just like the US State department dose.
till now there was no cap (limit) for PR visa.... If one qualifies, status is always current for the applicant... so there was no need of visa bulletin....
availability of immigrant visa - always current till June 26, 2010
processing time - time line is available on CIC website
number of visa issued - since there was no limit on visa issue, this does not effect to applicant
all other details of all visa offices - mostly available on CIC website & option of personal inquiry which results reply in 2 weeks.....
this might be helpful in future since now (if I am not wrong, approx.) limit per visa office is 20K.
