Breaking News !

Ottawa Pilot Programme applicants will get RPRF requests upon successful security ckecks shortly and this might start from late January 2011.

CHC London will spend the first half of 2011 on pre-February 2008 applications and the last half on post-February 2008 application as they did in the year of 2010.

Moreover; the CHC London will be finalising applications of those who got update requests during 2009 or early 2010 including Ottawa Pilot Programme applicants during the year of 2011 in a strict chronological order.

As the CIC will be implementing new Global Case Management System -GCMS instead of CAIPS from April 2011 therefore, the SAP CHC London applicants from November 2007 to February 2008 might get update requests from March 2011 onwards and will be finalised during first half of 2012.

The clear cut current target of CIC is to reduce 50% of backglog applications by 2013 -means start of 2013.

For system evaluation & sustaining current processing times at the CHC London, a small batch of SAP applications submitted during September/October 2007 was transferred to Ottawa, Canada for processing but the final decision on Ottawa applications will be made at CHC London.

Received email from London in Aug and Dec 2010

As of April 1, 2010, applications for permanent residence under the Economic categories for citizens or residents of Pakistan will be processed by our office in London, UK. The economic categories are comprised of Federal skilled Workers, Federal Investors, Self-Employed, Entrepreneurs, Provincial Nominees and Quebec-selected Permanent Workers and Business People. Although Islamabad will continue processing a few applications that are close to completion, the majority are being transferred to London.

The file transfer of existing permanent residence applications under the Economic categories is currently underway. Our office hopes to complete the transfer by December 2010.

Our office has not yet received your application. However, the transfer of files from Islamabad is still ongoing. We cannot confirm or deny at this time if your application will be processed in London. Please be advised, if your application is transferred to our office, our office will contact you when we are in a position to begin processing your application. Please wait until this letter has been received before providing any new information relating to changes in your personal circumstances, additional dependents, new employment, education or new identity documents.

You may resend your enquiry after January 2011, if you have not received any correspondence from our office.

We regret that our office cannot provide status updates at this time.

At this point, it is too early to tell what the new processing times will be for these cases in London.

Our office sends immigration decisions and information requests by post or email to the mailing address or email address provided in the application. Therefore, it is important that our office be notified immediately of any change of address or email address. Please also notify us if you would like to withdraw your application. For all other updates, wait until you are contacted by our office or the Islamabad office.

We thank you for your patience during this transition period and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum.

Yours sincerely,

I am an Ottawa applicant and most information is true as couple of Ottawa applicants emailed pilot office after medicals and they got reply that they'll start issuing visas from January so that prediction looks to be right. You are newbie and bag of information, hmmmm.

Hi Staralihaider,

CHC London had recruited Urdu/English skilled employees (Immigration Assistants) back in June/July 2010 especially for Islamabad applications and there is no extra burden on existing immigration teams i.e., white & red teams. Please also note that priority team at CHC London only deals with arranged employment/family etc applications.

There would be a concurrent processing of Islamabad applications at the CHC London.

Currently CHC London is reviewing post February 2008 application by whom supporting documents had been submitted during May/June 2010.

I hope this is assistance to you.
