Westzhu, thanks for posting your nomination processing time for post graduate student stream. I applied on Aug 2012 and I am hopeful that mine will be coming soon based on your timeline. I guess your work permit is not expiring in awhile and so I can base my timeline with yours. It seems that in the other posts, students with expiring work permit have been given priority over our files.

My Post-Graduation work permit won't expire until October 1, 2014.

I am not quite sure how their priority system works.

My case was a bit complicated because I got married during the application process.

I initially applied online and sent out two updated application package (paper) to SINP. (This is not recommened by SINP but I got told to do so after I told them I got married.)

The first package was considered to be a loss and which was actually delivered and ... and ...

Some tips I summarized from my case are listed below:(student stream can use these as reference)

-Paper application is faster than the Online application, at least for a short period of time, it will still be true.
All documents (Job Approval Form, work experience letter AND (not OR) pay stubs) submitted at the first time will be ideal.
Additional document can be sent through email instantly.

-Priority:
NOC- B (this definitely helps)
Asset (I bought a house and I sent them a copy of my land title to them, which is not necessary, but I think might be helpful)
Family/relatives (my wifes's brother and cousin are currently studying at high school in Saskatoon)

all the aboves "show" my "intention" to work and live in SK.

-Communication
Do not hesitate to contact them by email (their Phone line sucks, you will be only directed to voice mail)
"Please do not hesitate to contact us directly if you have further questions." as they stated in their email.
Ask them appropriate questions, not just questioning about the status.

Back in early August 2012, I sent them email ask about the processing time. They replied my 6 months on average.
My case took 6 months and 5 days which is pretty acurate.

The processing time now show on their websit is calculated based on 80% of all the applications.
(I guess the 20% they take out would be the ones take longest time to process).

My case actually took 21 days from "In process" to "Nominated" despite of the waiting time to received and upated. Mine is relatively fast.

Students 3.8
Post-Graducation Work Permit 3.8
Masters and PHD Graduates 3.6


Some cases I heard about only took 6 to 12 weeks to complete from the date they sent out their application (one was skilled worker and another was student: Master stream).

Good luck guys, your nomination is on the way to you!!!
