New Processing time for EE

[valsanail]

no. for medicals, it must be valid on the date of entry

Ok, let's say it for medicals, you're right, but others have nothing to do with that. If so, they would cut your points based on age increase, for example, and then tell "ok, now you don't have the points you claimed, so bye-bye"

Quoted:

CRS Points -
A candidate who reports an age difference between the time they receive an invitation to apply (ITA) and the time they submit an application for permanent residence (APR) could lose points that were awarded to them for their age, which is one criterion used to establish their rank relative to other Express Entry candidates, and to determine their eligibility to receive an invitation to apply. Applications can be refused for this reason despite the applicant's ability to meet regulatory requirements of the economic immigration program for which they have applied.

A temporary public policy will permit the exemption of candidates from application of section 11.2 of the IRPA only if the loss of eligibility or qualification has occurred due to aging of the applicant between the submission of an invitation by IRCC and the receipt of the resulting application by IRCC.

Accordingly this exemption will apply to those individuals whose ranking may change due to age from the time an invitation to apply to OINP was sent and receipt of the APR application.

The OINP exempts applicants from drops in CRS scores that are related to their age. In this regard, we will consider your age at the date your notification of interest was sent.

Consequently, you may be eligible to apply even if your score has fallen below 400 points but only if it is because you changed age between the time you have received your PT Notification of Interest from OINP and the time you have submitted your application for permanent residence to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

It is the only exemption for having a score below 400 points. Otherwise, you must maintain a minimum score of 400 points on the Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) through the Ontario processing stage and your Application for Permanent Residence to IRCC.

yeah, it says from the time of getting ITA to submitting an application, not after the application.

once you submit, everything is locked.. no changes are factored in post APR

Now the biggest question is it a system glitch or real? If real then all plans will screwed up.

No, it looks like a mistake. My friend has applied for a work visa and it shows there that the processing time is 139 days and they are working on applications received 21st of January 2016 (which is impossible).

 

[bc_canada]

I called them and asked , its a technical issue. It will be updated soon.

15 months haven't even elapsed since Jan 2015! ... I submitted my EE profile July 15, ITA Aug 15, AOR Oct 15, PPR Jan 16, COPR today ... CEC category only 3 months to process

 

[zsv2015]

Mine took 10 months. There is a guy on this forum with AOR on February 2015 and he's still waiting for his PPR.

 

[funmohan]

This page says its still 6 Months.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/index.asp

"Citizenship and Immigration Canada will process the majority of complete applications (meaning those with all the necessary supporting documents) in six months or less."

It is really dis-heartning if this happens to us. Like the people who have already applied and are in the queue should have not been affected by this. We all have lost our sleep now.

Hmmm...there are multiple threads about this issue. See here http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/cic-application-processing-time-15-months-fsw-and-pnps-t394640.0.html and here http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/updated-average-processing-times-t394687.0.html

Like I said in those threads: "Don't panic. Grab a towel." This is obviously a glitch.

They don't care about that. There are people from Feb 2014 still waiting for a decision to be made. Their processing time was 12 months before EE was introduced. They should have cleared all the old CEC out first. Old CEC applicants could say the same thing about things being unfair when they introduced EE and were put on hold and are now waiting 21+ months.

It's a big mess and I think they bit off more then they can chew...especially now with the refugees.
