Hello to everyone, two questions:

1- Regarding FBI background check. I submitted mine a little over a month ago, can any applicant in the US tell me how long it took for them to get a reply from FBI? I have heard anywhere from two to four months. :o

2- For those who are hopeful to someday receive an AOR, will the AOR be an email or a letter? If an email, are you all checking your spam mail on a daily basis, so you don't miss it?

Thank you for your responses and hope you are all enjoying your weekend. :)

Hi,

any thoughts on timing of AORs is pure speculation, in my view. both opinions make sense (to ensure cap is filled, CIO should go through and conduct eligibility assessment -> AOR is a matter of sending a letter then, BUT pre-June 26 would suffer extra time spent on post-June 26 applicants delaying their AORs).

I propose to monitor progress and visit official website for news instead of making guess

Okay :) but look at official web site :)
1) issuing an AOR - means processing in CIC = official sources tell that processing will be in queue (from April to August)
2) CAP will be filled by COMPLETED APPLICATION that could be processed, NOT PROCESSED APPLICATION
So, I just telling the facts :)

Good luck to all :) Best wishes :)

For weeks I have been watching your posts and finally decided to share my views.
Firstly, Canada processes all new applications based on new rules separately. This means that a different team processes these applications. There has been a delay in processes because of a re-alignment of resources. This is no queue. This means that each set of application will go into separate lines.

Secondly, David Cohen's office has advised that only 10% of applications have gone into process. Many of the applications are being returned and will be returned for minor reasons. This means that applicants will need to be extremely careful when completing applications.

Thanks

Welcome KR,

In which stage you are talking about when you said "Many of the applications are being returned and will be returned for minor reasons" ? in the 1st stage (Competence Check) or you are talking in general i.e they can return the application in any stage for minor reasons ??

this sounds scary! only 10% are in the process? so far (judging from our thread and the table) I would say 90% appear to be found complete and funds charged.

do you mean that out of those who were charged and whose applications were not returned, only 10% found to be eligible???

that sounds SCARY!!! ::)

How will applications subject to new instructions be processed as compared to applications subject to the first set of instructions and the backlog?

All applications subject to ministerial instructions (everything received since February 27, 2008) will be considered for processing in the order they are received.

All federal skilled worker applications received before February 27, 2008 fall into the backlog, and will be processed concurrently with the applications received since that date (and that are subject to instructions).

you posted 4 times in various threads, this must be because you want to warn those poor souls who try to squeeze into the quota before October, am I right? ;D

I am witness to a number of posts with 'full quotas', hope this is not from this opera ;D

And how exactly does David Cohen's office know that? I am fairly sure that is NOT information which CIO would divulge, so somehow I rather doubt they are dismissing 90% of the applications they received.

So, guys, please relax and wait your turn in queue, as soon as all pre-june-26 applicants receive AOR - you should wait for post-june-26 AORs

I mean this with respect, but as far as I understand there is no "queue" of pre-June-26 versus post-June-26. CIC will handle these two pools of applications as it sees fit, and until somebody starts getting regular AORs we will not really know how they are going to do it.

I understand that you feel it would be unfair if post-June-26th applications were processed before yours, but please also understand that post-June-26th do not have the luxury of a limitless application numbers. Since each NOC has a limit of 1000, and 20000 total, then CIC need to ascertain as quickly as possible that the limit is reached so that they can advertise this, to stop thousands (probably tens of thousands) of people going through the massive time and expense of compiling an application which is doomed to failed before it is even sent.

So here is how I see it:

1) If CIC are counting a post-June-26 FSW1 application as being in the "limit" as soon as it passes the completeness check, then IMO it is fine to process all the pre-June-26 applications first, since this does not affect when CIO are able to advertise they have reached the limit

2) If CIC are not counting a post-June-26 FSW1 application as being in the "limit" UNTIL it has had the eligiblity review complete/AOR/ready to send to visa office, then IMO they have to either process these applications first, or at least have a separate team processing them. If they have to wait until all the May+June applications are processed they by the time they get to the July/August applications they will likely have received many applications over the 1000/20000 limits.

Like I said I can understand why you feel it may be unfair, but it is surely more unfair for tens of thousands of people to spend all that time compiling applications to limits that are already full, than May/June applicants waiting a few more weeks for their AORs?

Hi,

In this board "canada-immigration-discussion-board/noc-1122-after-26-july-2010-join-here-please-t49245.165.html" "MSM-2332" says that under NOC 1122 you have to take into account that you must be an external consultant to the business and not to be employed by the company."

I am senior brand executive in my company and assess characteristics of products of my company to be promoted and advise on the advertising needs as well as develop and implement the advertising campaigns along with our advertising agency.

I have already sent my application. But after reading the above post i am in doubt whether i will be eligible or not.Do you think that one has to be an external consultant to apply for this NOC?

Thanks.
 
Hi guys,

Just in case people were wondering why I am going to be posting less, I am have decided to only check these forums during the weekends.

This is because it's likely to be a month or even several months until we get any real progress on AORs, and things are getting busy at work, and every time I read here I keep finding more things over which to worry about my application! :)

I will of course post immediately if I can an AOR or receive any news, but otherwise I think I am going to chill out for a bit because this process is stressing me out too much! ;)

Wayne.
