I did call them yesterday. They said that this program is closed so they don't have any definite timelines.

Thanks

What did they mean by saying that the program is closed? Which program is closed and why they have no deadlines?

what an illogical answer,


Did you try to call again, and speak to another person? some of these representative are helpful and some have no idea what they are talking about.

and if u get the same answer, ask please ask what does he mean by close as long as there are some applications.



sorry if I am just asking you to call. There is no reason for me call as they have not received my medical results yet. I got my request 2 weeks ago

Thank you much

whats soo hard to understand.. what they mean is that the old process is closed and they aren't taking any more applications under that system.. and so all the remaining files are in backlog and they don't have a definitive timeline for it as its moving at an ants speed.

They do not take any more applications from October/November 2014 under the old system. It could have been better if they had decided to process all the old applications, as they are not going to have any more of them. This is why it is do hard to understand! Let's hope something will move from the new year.

Dear ushiee88,

Thank you for your comments.

I do understand English very well. and it seems that Sairam09 and I are understanding are on the same page. I am just asked a particular question to Sairam09.

Its obvious for every one that the CIC is slow in processing CEC applications. but I also know I don't call a project closed before it is the 100% completed. and when I am terminate a project without any plan.. I mean I am a Project manager and that's how I do work.

cheers buddy

Hi poiuy,

Unfortunately CIC did not prepare well for the transition from CEC to Express Entry, and got them caught in a between the 2. I believe they have slowly resumed working on our applications and I got my medical requested 2 weeks ago. and another member on here mentioned that there were 2 other requests according to Trackit.

After all, every thing slows down during Christmas and New Year, Hopefully the 2nd week of Jan every one will resume work and we can all see a faster movement in process.

Well said teb,
Basically my thinking. I did upfront medicals a while back and around the same time you received your medicals is when my Ecas showed medicals received and after that got a pcc request the next day or so. My thinking is that more happenings will be routine come January first week and on.
Cheers people!!!

And also CIC website has been confirmed that 'Processing times tell you how long it took Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to process applications in the past after receiving a complete application package. Processing times can vary, depending on how many applications CIC receives. Your application may be delayed if it’s not complete.'

Is it means 16 months from application received at CIO or CIC Ottawa office?
