@ KDSSTL

I appreciate your efforts to keep everyone's hopes alive but, you are not understanding one point.

Thanks

All the applicants under MI 1 who lodged their initial application at CIO, Sydney, Nova Scotia were by 25 June 2010.

Agree

The last applicant under MI 1 had to submit his / her initial application by 25 June 2010.

All right

Now, all those who were submitted their initial application at CIO, Sydney, NS under MI 1 have already got the 1st AOR. It means their files were already transferred to respective Visa Office by end of 2010.

It means CIO, Sydney, Nova Scotia has NO FILE under MI1.

They got lot of applications (much more than what they expected), and they couldn't approve all the applications and the rest pending with them may take 2 years or more for approval, and if the applicants wish to withdraw they can do it, which will be more helpful for them to reduce the backlog


Then what are talking about "department mentioned was for the application that are still in Nova Scotia"? ??? ??? ??? ???

I meant to say that the two years processing period mentioned in the letter is applicable for those applicants whose file are still in NS pending for approval and which are not yet transferred to concerned VO

As I explained earlier it is not going to take 2 years for all of us but It MAY take 2 years or more whose files were transferred in July 10 onwards.

@ All

It looks like I am struggling here to convince you all. I am posting all this for your comfort and understanding.



Changes to immigration law in 2008 allow Citizenship and Immigration Canada
(CIC) to set, through Ministerial Instructions (MI), the number and type of applications considered for processing each year, and the order in which these applications will be processed.

Under the first set of instructions (MI-1) CIC used this new authority under immigration law to control the type of applications received, but not the number. The number of applications received exceed the ability to process them in a timely way. CIC introduced caps on June 26, 2010 on the FSW program as part of the second MI. CIC has limited the intake of new FSW applications to better match the number CIC can actually process within the annual levels plan tabled in Parliament. FSW applications under the second MI are processed on a priority basis.

CIC has received enough FSW applications since February 27, 2008 to reach immigration levels for the next two years. Unfortunately, it will take longer to process those submitted under the first set of instructions (between February 27, 2008 and June 25, 2010) than originally projected.

This number represents more than twice the number of projected admissions under the program in 2011. Therefore, few applications received before February 27, 2008 (processed in the order they are received) are expected to be processed this year or next.

CIC's goal is to make the immigration system more responsive to labour market needs. By giving priority to FSW applications received on or after June 26, 2010, CIC is responding to the most urgent labour market needs first. The length of time it takes to finalize an application under this program varies from one visa office to another since visa offices face different challenges. CIC continues to work towards global service standards and the use of departmental standard forms to minimize such regional
variations as much as possible.


Two year processing period in not for applications which are already been transferred to concerned VO, but for applications received in NS but not processed yet who are under MI-I.

Convincing everyone here in not my job. If members on this blog has any clarification, it can be done in better way than criticizing.

Are you all looking for negative comments? Will you all be happy, if you hear that your application will really take 2 years or more?

Very sad

KDSTTL

i dont think there is any pre 26 june applicant who's file is not yet transferred to designated visa office or in other words there is no applicant who didn't get his/her first file number yet...............so its hard to believe ur calculations............and dear its not happy or sad its all about reality we face.........i think its better to be in reality instead of being happy in illusions

What made you say that "i dont think there is any pre 26 june applicant who's file is not yet transferred to designated visa office or in other words there is no applicant who didn't get his/her first file number yet", when the immigration letter itself says that Canada received over 425,000 applications under MI-1 during this period, and 144,000 of these have not yet received a decision. The only decision Canada takes on applications received by them at NS is to advice whether they are eligible for process. File number will be allotted if they are eligible to process. For 144000 cases, they couldn't even open up the files and advice.

144000 is pending, and same is appearing in the letter issued to applicants of Buffalo, Manila etc.
So do you think buffalo, Manila etc. is having 144000 applications pending at their local office. (exactly 144000 cases)

It is straight and simple, that the files are pending at Citizenship and Immigration Canada Office.

Open your eyes. Read the letter carefully.
 
@KDSSTL

Who said you decision means to is to advice whether they are eligible process? ;D

I think it is worthless to argue with you...

Just to make u understand, A decision means whether the case is approved or refused

Go on CIC website and open your eyes and read about the Decision term.

@KDSSTL

I also suggest you to start a new topic "Applicants under MI1 who are yet to get 1st AOR".... Lets see how many do you get.. As per your calculation there are 144,000 applicants who are yet to get their 1st AOR so at least 1% of them i.e., 1440 would be visiting this website... Lets see how many joins that topic.

Ok. Thanks.
Not arguing with you anymore

Can anyone here tell me an answer for the below question?

144000 is pending, and same is appearing in the letter issued to applicants of Buffalo, Manila etc.
So does it means buffalo, Manila etc. is having 144000 applications pending at their local office. (exactly 144000 cases - same like New Delhi office). All are having exactly same number of backlog?
 
That 144000 is globally and All VOs have got instruction to send the same standard reply to their applicants.

Program Manager at any CHC have to follow the instruction provided by minister.

So, the reason is all of them are sending same reply.

They never say the available quota for the local consulate for a particular category.

144,000 should be for total applicants from all over. Not only from ND VO.
 
Congrats sharmilas

Does it show processing date start in the link? or same same RBVO details?

That is what I was saying.

It the message from Canada, not by local Visa Office.

The backlog is with Canada.

Boss yes but, they can track information from all CHCs and they figured out the total is 144000.

It doesnt mean this no of applications are lying with them.

Dear All,
Same letter that pending files numbered 14400 are also coming to Pre-Feb 2008.I have seen this letter with one of my friend.Its very much true.

Guys, It is very difficult to say anything right now what CIC mean with this letter, we can only presume and make assumptions. Best way to figure this out this now as how CIC ND is moving recently which I think is not very encouraging. They are just clearing old backlog and issuing visas and very few new medicals request issued in last 20 days or so. As I said earlier also, we need to compare this with post June 2010 cases, if they are getting processed at normal speed and we are not then there is an issue with pre june 2010 applicantion cases and this letter might be correct.

Thanks
