Dear Hila01

Why don't you file a legal suit against them?

It is not necessary. My application is currently under review.

as per their work pattern i don't think so they can clear the backlog till 2020....

Sir

I have gone through a presentation , that was on CIC web page or on their open data portal in Jan 2013 , in which it was clearly stated and graphically presented that all backlog will be cleared by June 2015.

As from Jan 2015 new intake will take in effect , and first applicant who will get his application processed from any visa office will be in July 2015.

To be logical on Sep 29 , there was a total backlog of 66,000/- applicants , lets minus 15,000/- that they have cleared till Dec 31,2013

Balance is 51,000/-
Add 2013 (5000 x 3 ) = 15,000/-
Total Applicants to be cleared in 2014 = 66,000/-
Less Visa Quota for 2014 = ( 48,000)
Balance = 18,000/-


Lets hope for the best

That they anticipate to clear by June 2015.

Hi msaeed....

i dont have words to appreciate the patience by applicants before 2013 despite the fact that 'one year visa issuance promise' made by minister made us all impatient here...
n to be frank...we are still living on the excitement that things will be easier & faster for us (fswp 2013) inshaAllah
anyhow we can all never come to a conclusion...only LVO can help us.....

im faithful in only one fact now....whatever time Allah swt has decided for us to get canada PR will be the best time decided by Him....
all my prayers with u msaeed and all those applicants who have applied before us...cheers

but i would still add...disappointing to c lvo sleeping on our applications while quite a few visa offices got active....'Clerk Badshah rules' i hate u

Dear Maria

We need to understand fact that they have combined processing of almost all muslim countires in LVO.
Pakistan is a Red Alert Country , Pakistani applicants have to go special screening , this adds more time.
But situation is not so bleak as it seems to be - My cousin applied in "Computer Professional" NOC , in May 2013 , got PER in October 2013 , got medicals on November 25,2013 , have received request for submission of passports yesterday.

He is lucky one , he is planning to land in June , as his meds will expire in December 2014.

LVO picks files on golden principal of "Akar Bakar Bambee Boo" , this is for sure that FSW 2013 applicant's will be processed / supposed to be processed earlier / fatser than all other applicants.

If I quote my example , my case seems to be very simple to process , in last 5 years Canadian high commission Islamabad has issued business visa to me two times . my first business visitor visa was for 2 years 5 months , and current one is valid for 5 years. My credentials are same ie same for Business visa and for Immigration Visa Application ie same job , same employer , same education , JD and all letters signed and verified by same signatory

Inspite of all this LVO lost my file , and I traced this back in September 2012 -

LVO has policy of its own , they process files in a mixed percentage. ie some from pre 2008 , some from MI 1 , and some from ohers
Search for their statics on www.data.gc.ca , you will a clear idea.

Dear Msaeed,

I really appreciate your sincere replies each time.

Could you please throw some light on your cousin's case, I believe last month also you have given his example.

Does he also belongs to Pakistan, is he working in Pakistan or in UAE ?

Do you think people from India (non Muslim) are expected to get medical call early from LVO?

Sir

My cousin is in Pakistan , having 12 inch long beard , his name is "Osama" , his sons name is "Omar" - He has never been to Karachi , and this is first time in his life that he will board a Plane ................, ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I helped him in filling this application

I have no idea about other nationals who have filled their applications with LVO , but have shared fact with you regarding Pakistan , ansd this is known to all universe.

Stay Blessed

Our May Applicants got their PER in JULY/AUGUST 2013

Right Rawdah, The same thing I was also wondering :'(

 

[loncan]

@msaeed - to help us figure out the difference here, could you please clarify what programme your cousin has applied under (e.g. FSWP with LMO). Thanks

 

[Maria_Sal]

Dear msaeed...

none of us got any request for Medical after PER issuance....ur cousin might have applied in some other criteria...not same like us...
otherwise he can't be the only one....we have a big list of may 2013 lvo applicants....

Hi. How is that possible that your cousin applied in May 2013 and got PER in October? That is 5 solid months. May 2013 applicants got PER between July- August. We need more clarification please. Just for clarification, Visa offices no longer process applications pre 2008.
