That is because the number of PNP application is far more than CEC. Target for CEC only 5000 maximum per year where as PNP admit 40,000 that means the volume of PNP application is 8 times larger than CEC. (see here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/annual-report2010/section2.asp#part2_1)saka101 said:Is this Trend based on CEC applications or PNP?
Because I have noticed that their applications are processed quicker than ours
Truongan is absolutely right about the quotas on CEC and PNP class..saka101 said:Hmmm Interesting! Guess that makes alot of sense.
Honestly I am getting impatient in trying to figure out how they operate!
The quota issue is another thing that is worrying because the end of year is near...I hope and pray none of us gets stuck in it!sam1986 said:Truongan is absolutely right about the quotas on CEC and PNP class..
we need someone from us with a positive reply this week to believe that we all will be getting a PPR soon. Remember, its end of the year and quotas are almost about to get full.
Last year, my friend got stuck in this quota scheme end of the year and had to wait another 4-6 months to get his PPR. His file got transferred to detroit and they found something in his mediclas and had to re-do it again. I could see the frustration on his face; especially when all his friends filed at the same time and the difference between their PPR was over 6 months.

That is because your file was screened by Ottawa Pilot Project. They do updates more often than Buffalo. Buffalo cases have status remain the same on Ecas under 'application received' but that doesn't mean applications are not in process. As soon as background checks are completed file will be brought to VO desk again.biggy said:No idea mine was "We started processing your application on September 28, 2011" before Medical Received
I am missing one important thing in what you quote above, my file was not transfered to any location.TRUONGAN said:That is because your file was screened by Ottawa Pilot Project.

Those whose files were transfered to Ottawa will get an 'extra line' stating we started processing your application on xxxx. After initial review by Ottawa, files will be transfered back to Buffalo for further processing. Under current Law, only visa posts out Canada can issue immigrant Visa. Ottawa serves as a 'help desk' only![]()
Well then if thats the case then your VO is good at keeping you informed via Ecas, while for the many of us, we deal with other VOs.biggy said:I am missing one important thing in what you quote above, my file was not transfered to any location.
