I assume that you did not opt out of the Rasolzadeh v. M.C.I.
decision so the following applies to you:

"MCI’s Processing Timeframes based upon the Year in which Class Members’ Applications were submitted to MCI:
MCI shall make selection decisions for each group of Class Members, in accordance with the applicable timelines listed below:
50% of the class, including all applications submitted in 1999 or earlier, will receive selection decisions within 12 months of final settlement (as defined below), regardless of visa office;
All applications submitted in 2000 will receive selection decisions within 24 months of final settlement, regardless of visa office;
All applications submitted in 2001 will receive selection decisions within 42 months of final settlement."

So you will receive a decision by 42 months after the 14/03/05. Sometime before 14/09/08 you will be required to update your application and submit IELTS.

thank you PMM for your kind information.

Should I have opted out rasulzadeh v M C I? what are the advantages and disadvantages of this procedure?

Will they assess me against the both criteria or I will have to ask them for this?

Thanx

Too late now, but they will assess your application under both sets of regulation automatically.

Your application does not fall under the settelement as it was submitted after 01/01/02 so it appears that you are now getting the Intial Assessment, it shouldn;t be much longer, if you pass, you will get medical request.

The only thing that you can do is submit what they ask. I would suggest that you get your CAIPS file to find out what is going on in your file.

PMM, Please tell me what is this CAIPS file and can I get mine?
If yes, how?
Do they charge for this?
What are the benifits of getting this and is there any loss of getting this?

IF you don't have anyone in Canada to apply for your CAIPS notes, you can use one of the services, such as http://www.caips.ca/index.shtml or
http://www.caipsnotes.com/Get.shtml Costs about $40. It contains the points, assessment, and notes from the officer about any concerns s/he has about your application.

PMM, thanks for the advice.

I think I want to get that to know what is the concern expressed for transfering my file from Bufallo to NY then to Ghana and having submitted everything - medicals, proof of fund, employers letter and even paid RPRF, a fresh request was received again for all these stuff plus proficiency in English again ( which was nt requested initially)

It's rather getting too long for my sake, AOR was gotten in Apr 2002!

Thanks.

Will do that right away!
