Hi Guys,
I think you guys are correct in saying that the difference in processing times comes after submission of the documents because inspite of the fact that I submitted all the documents in one go (Including IELTS, PCC's from three different countries and the rest of the stuff), I still have not heard anything, while some people already have. Also I have noticed that even in case of the approved cases, its taking longer this year with average days increasing from 1000 to 1200 days (quoting trackitt)
Hi Nike100,
Could you share when did you submit your application?
I was checking on trackit and noticed that there is a huge difference in processing times between UK/EU citizens and other applicants, wonder if it has something to do with background checks. We just sent our aplication last week so we'll see how it goes.

Any August 2007 AOR document request yet? Its September now so they should have started coming. I see in trackit.com that early August AORs have received reply, but some still have not.

Hello
I am looking at trackitt and I can tell that everyone has been contacted up to 24 July 2007.
However, there are a couple of blank spaces in between, in fact there are some people from as far back as 2006 that 'supposedly' have not received the update document letter (Just looking at London office applicants). I would like to know what you all think.

- Do they go in date order? or is it possible that they jump some people depending on the officer you have?
- Or is it just a case that this applicants do not update their trackitt case, or withdraw their applications, or these letters simply get lost on the post?

The truth is that most people that have not received their letter are from countries in Sudan, Iraq, Pakistan, Egypt, but there are also some UK ones.

I just wanted to know what you guys think of these blank spaces on trackitt.com. I am hoping to see some movements soon, since last one was on 17 August 2009.

Hi edupolo,

Just like BobbyB, I am also watching your case and other 2007 applicants on queue. You are Sept. 2007
right? Mine is Nov. 2007, a Filipino. But I am glad that most Filipinos I know here in the Uae are receiving
their 120day letters in 24 to 25 months. Thanks for keeping this topic alive as initiated by BobbyB.

I personally believe that some guys are just not updating regularly. Some might have even withdrawn their applications. Man, It takes a heck of a lot of time, I mean the whole immigration process and it's frustrating too - Enough time to figure out something else or even move to some other country. On the whole, I would say that our friend PIOLO is right. The CIC (LONDON) office's trend has been 24 to 25 Months to request applicants of 2007 for updates. I hope and pray that they keep to it. If they do, we still stand a chance of getting our foot in this year or early half of next year. Like PIOLO said, we are watching your case "LIVE", so please keep posting. I am still waiting to find out whether anybody has received a letter this month though.

Hi Guys I applied Dec 2007 and CIC recieved application on the 02/02/2008 from what I have heard I am expecting that they will request docs by Dcember 2009 I have applied under a NOC code of 1114 as a mortgage consultant under the skilled worker application to Toronto and would be interested to hear how others apllications are going. Not sure if I can apply for skilled worker under a code of 1114 so I am kinda keeping my fingers crossed.

I beg to differ from the opinion that background checks is the reason which results the huge difference between processing of UK/EU citizens v/s other applicants as majority of the background and security clearances start at or after medical request stage. There are few non UK/EU applicants in Middle East who get move from Document Submission to Medical request in < 45 days, but SEVERAL of UK/EU applicants.

Anybody out there who received a documents update letter from CIC London in September (up till now).
It looks like they have stopped request for updates for 2007 applicants.
Please post if you have, as this is quite helpful to us applicants down the line.

Chintu, any input regards this on your forum?
