Waiting for medical......please help me

[Reihaneh]

Hello,

I heard that the files were opened at 2006 are skipped by the government and they are considering recent files which have been opened at 2011. Does anybody know about this news? I opened my file at 2006 and no news so far  . I appreciate if you can give me a clue or share your experiences with me.

Regards,
Reihaneh

Yes, re-applying is a good option instead of waiting as per the expert opinion below.

Here is an abstract of Attorney David Cohen's very recent news letter  about a similar case :

"I have applied for Canadian permanent residency in 2006 through the Federal Skilled Worker Program and more than 5 years have passed since it is in process. How many more months will it take before I get my visa?"


"Unfortunately for you, applications under the Federal Skilled Worker category submitted for processing prior to February 2008 have been pushed to the back of the line in favour of applications that were submitted more recently. Nobody can argue that this is fair but for now it is what it is. Processing times vary depending upon which visa office is handling your file. A complete list of current processing times at each visa office can be found on the Canadavisa's website.

If you qualify for Canadian permanent residency under the current Federal Skilled Worker category or under one of the other Canadian immigration programs you may want to consider submitting a fresh application as a way to speed up your entry to Canada. New Federal Skilled Worker applications are being processed in less than 12 months at some visa offices".
