I request everyone to mail the minister along with a cc to CHC ND. I did the same.
Below is the mail i send. It will be useful for those NOCs which were common for Post and Pre June and AEO cases.
Others can modify the letter accordingly
Dear Sir
I have applied for Canadian Immigration under Federal skilled worker category(NOC XXXX) File No: BXXXXXXXXX at Central Intake Office Nova Scotia(they received on DD MM YY), sending my complete set of documents for further processing at the New Delhi Visa office, and have received acknowledgment of receipt of my documents on DD MM YY. My file transfer date was DD MM YY.
My occupation was listed in both Post and Pre June 2010 in demand occupations.
My friends(Applicants) who applied after June 20 2010 in the same occupations, have received medical request and subsequent Permanent residency. I wonder why my application has been kept on low priority just because I applied before June 26, 2010 even though my occupation is in demand. I can understand that you put Pre June 2010 applicants on low priority because you have received more applications than you can process, but it is totally unfair to all those applicants whose NOC were both in Pre and Post June 2010.
Hence I request you to look into the matter and speed up the processing of those applicants whose occupations were included in both Pre and Post June 2010.
For the last 10 months I haven't got any update from the visa office and they are not answering to my queries. One of my friend received an email that processing time can increase up to 2 years. If that is the case than I request you to give us clear instructions as, our funds are held up for the ‘proof of funds'. This is creating huge problems for me as I cannot plan for future investments.
The only scenario that will be left for many applicants including myself(whose occupations are common) will be to re-apply.
Hence I request you to ask the necessary authorities to expedite the process or else give me and other applicants a proper timeline so that we can plan for our future including re-applying and/or financial and personal plans .
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Yours Thankfully,
