ON PNP-reference letter needed for verification-after PPR?

[islamabad786]

Audit report that highligts the weaknesses of current Ontario PNP program and recommendations to improve it. Most of the improvements in the process will be in-placed in 2015 as responded by Ministry. God know's how much time we have to wait if they intent to scrutinize our applications on the basis of recommendations.

Read the report from ON government, which partly explains how they look at the current ON PNP and why QA was conducted.

I received my GCMS note. Nothing changed for the past 3 months. The due date has been moved to Feb 2015.

I also just submitted my CEC application. I hope it won't be too late for CEC this year.

Thanks for sharing the report, it has lot of information about why CIC has reasons to slowdown the process. This was very much detailed and shows the Ontario PNP is a broken program where there is no Transparency for applicants like us and Staff not well equipped in handling cases. Looks like the Masters graduates without a Job in future years will have changes and the conditions would become strict. In the report there is also a mention about the QA process and Why CIC is not happy with Ontario. CIC has requested Ontario to assess the Masters without Job category since 2012 to see its economic benefits to the province and the followup with Nominees. But Ontario did not do anything in-spite of getting a doubled allocation for Nominees and most of them used by candidates without job offers category. Thats the reason CIC had to stop the processing and it alarmed Ontario to go back and do its part to comply with the policies.

If there is a chance we should request this to make things more efficient. I know almost all of us here have jobs ( Some job atleast that pays your monthly bills) but applied in the category - without job offers. The only reason was I didnt want to disturb my employer to go through the screening process. if they make the process easier and a simple verification process like showing paystubs or tax returns along with an added provincial ID like health card would make the process seamless and easy for both PNP office and CIC. This way the province and CIC can track the applicants properly and focus on efficient and transparent processing without keeping us in the dark in the QA process.

Well we're pretty safe I'd say since they have used our applications as sample data to conduct their research and make recommendations (which is why we've been delayed). I genuinely believe and hope that our applications will be prioritized by CIC after what we've been through.
I really worry though about those that have just applied for PNP and those who will apply in 2015. Between training new staff and implement newer stringent QA rules, they should arm themselves with tons of patience.

Thanks for the link.

So it means QA has finished? Hopefully CIC's happy with what ON has to offer and resumes processing. I want my AOR!

Does the strict regulations apply to applicants who already got their PNP nomination and applied for PR to CIC?

I got my PNP nomination in October 2014 and applied for PR to CIO on Dec 1 ,2014.

That's a generic e-mail they send as reply to inquires right? It's like an AOR but not really because there is no file number attached to it, correct?

From what I understand, the first part of QA has been completed since the auditors have made recommendations based on their findings. I do think that the current staff are under intense and heavy scrutiny from the provincial government and from the feds, so I don't think anybody's file will be moving particularly fast anymore (according to the report they kind of ran the joint like the mafia with certain representatives benefitting from fast processing because the representative used to work there!). How quickly and efficiently those recommendations will be implemented is yet to be determined, the horizon mentioned is early 2015 before they set up all the things they would need to do. So if you have sent your application to CIC, chances are your file shouldn't face more the delay than the rest of us. From the tone of the report, based on the concerns raised by CIC, they really didn't seem too happy with the integrity of Ontario applicants. So I think that current and future ON PNP will be asked for proof of just about everything. My 2 cents.

Strange thing is that Ottawa never gives AOR (at least not that I know of -Sydney gives AOR)...it's either the mistake of a federal agent familiar with the Sydney procedure or that is an interesting insight on how things are done in Ottawa. Maybe once a file is picked up by an officer, they will give it an internal number that they can refer to when finalizing the application process. Who knows...

I couldn`t access the cic page to check my application status.

 

[Paopao599]

By the end of next week, most of the staffs will go on vacation and no one is going to work until the second week of Jan.. If we don't hear anything by next week, no chance we will have good news before new year.
