6 to 10 months is from the time the file reaches VO. This is like the 33 week that they were telling us initially for our PER. We got it in half that time.

They mean time at VO but the current processing time is unknown even for the VO as this is the first batch under new rules. So they quote the standard earlier timeframe as they do not want queries from us atleast till six months. The actual process now at the VO should be completed in much lesser time.

Hello all!
I have recently changed my job and need to notify the VO of this. Can anyone please guide me how I can do it?
Do I also need to inform CIC?
Thanks.

I do not know what your VO is but for London, (My VO) this is the link for updating info.

Should is a very strong word. We hope it will be finished in less time. As Wayne said, it will be very much VO dependent.

Hi kpkinnera,

I haven't received my 2nd AOR.....i guess CB is the only person who has received 2nd AOR from New Delhi and NOC 1122.....

He said it took about2 months to get the 2nd AOR....so i guess we just have to wait

Thanks,

Shareen

Hi People,

I see a lot of inactivity in the forum I guess people are busy gathering papers

Well, to my understanding, i'm posting the actual proposed process of applications for Federal Skilled Workers after June 26 2010.

1. As a rule of thumb, one has to submit ALL the documents specified in the CIO checklist and the Visa Office checklist(these checklists include pretty much everything needed for a PR application to Canada), with the initial application to CIO, NS.

2. One exception to the above may be the PCCs, as they will be asked for later by the corresponding visa office, although it's makes sense to send it together with the initial application(please see my explanation for the same in the same thread below).

3. So, once they receive our courier, they group them according to NOCs(the NOC code is mentioned on the envelope).

4. When our turn comes, they crack open our couriers and do a initial documentation check for completeness and compliance of the application.
# Check if the application forms are all COMPLETELY FILLED, payments are OK, all required documentation are enclosed.
# Next they check if we have a valid 1 year experience in the claimed NOC(a part of the 29 occupations list)

5. If yes, they give an AOR and put the file into processing , If not they send the application back stating the reason for return.

6. Next they check and award points for the 6 selection factors, including Education, Work Experience, Age, Language proficiency, Adaptability, Arranged Employment. In addition to these 6 factors, they check for the proof of funds as per the guidelines. They also do the background check for the above at this point before awarding points.

7. If the applicant gets 67 points or more, then his/her application will be transferred to the local visa office for final decision.

8. The VO again conducts background checks for their part and may request for an interview if they are not satisfied with the documentation provided.

9. It is believed, as and when they receive the file transfer from CIO, NS, the Visa Office sends a medicals request to the applicants.

10. By the time they receive the medicals results, they would be done with the background checks and this will enable the VO to make a decision

11. It is thought that they will also want to have the applicants' passports in their hands before making a final decision.

12. Once approved, they will send the Passports with Visas stamped

13. All refused skilled worker applicants, including those refused for non-compliance with processing requirements, will be sent or otherwise provided a formal refusal letter. The letter must:
• inform the applicant of the categories or circumstances under which the application was considered;
• provide a listing of the points awarded in respect of each selection factor;
• fully inform the applicant why the application has been refused.

Well, long story short, the processing times are getting shorter and shorter

All the best for all of you guys out here.. Keep helping each other and hopefully see you all in Canada soon 8)

Quick update from my side: My huby is attempting his IELTS this Saturday : ???, hopefully we get good points out of it. A 14 point would be just as great as having our application approved

Thanks,

Indira Prabhakaran.

Hi Indira,

I am wondering about the process that you described.

Initially, I thought the same like what you described in step 4. that they check if the application forms are all complete, payments are OK, all required documentation are enclosed and that they check if we have a valid 1 year experience in the claimed NOC(a part of the 29 occupations list).

And then under point 5. If yes, they give an AOR and put the file into processing , If not they send the application back stating the reason for return.

I am a bit worried about my work experience so I was very relieved when I saw that they've charged me the processing fee. I thought that that means that I passed eligibility review and that my case has been put in processing.

But then I saw in the spread sheet that some people were rejected for insufficient work experience after the fee has been charged!

Does that mean that they review minimal eligibility more then once and can make two different decisions?

I would love to hear your input! If anyone else have info please share

Thanks everyone!
