FSW WORLDWIDE

[James D. Ryan]

You don't have to provide for 12 months, you can give 4 (every 3 months or so). And yes your income tax returns can be added, but not in lieu.

Thank you!

I asked this as I have tried to merge 5-year pay slips and (after file size optimization tools), it's 4MB already. Given that IRCC only opens one slot for me to upload pay slip, contract, proof of funds and account statement, I was thinking of the "tax returns in lieu" option.

So I got my GCMS notes today which I ordered a month ago, they were generated after I got PPR. The following note might be of interest to people, which essentially confirms that sending them an email with upfront docs and requesting to expedite the application can work. Essentially an officer was notified, as the note says, and the officer cleared my eligibility conclusively, asked for ADR, verified them and approved my application all in the span of a couple of weeks. So upfront docs + request to expedite really got things moving.

According to some source, backlogs went from ~111k to 48k (in persons; this might be FHS which does not include PNP, but let’s assume proportionality for the sake of discussion) from Sep 2021 (exclusive) to Mar 2022 (inclusive). That is slightly above 10k persons per month.

Draws in July will not see meaningful numbers of AORs till August, and R10s till September. So April-August(inclusive) leaves 5 months for the remaining 48k.

If there’s no other shit like TR2PR or refugee crisis (I know it’s a bold assumption given 2021), 5 months sounds reasonable to clear the backlog. PNP draws still happen in this period but the numbers are small. Let’s also remind ourselves that FHS target got reduced, which could mean smaller draws than pre-2021, and less workforce occupied by those new applications.

Another gut feeling of mine is that Fraser hasn’t yet done things that are downright stupid (unlike some MM we all know). Let’s hope the processing standard for new apps will not be at the cost of backlogged apps.

Personal plan for reference
I’m May 2021 AOR and planning to apply for GCMS next month and get it in June. If it’s not all stages passed AND I don’t get any ADR/remed, chances are slim to get PPR by August. Then I’d take it as a bad sign and hop onto other options like UK work visa.

That analysis might be correct but it’s extremely skewed towards CEC applicants. FSW backlog was reduced from 55k to 41k (in March). Correct me on the numbers if I am wrong. Which means that with that processing speed they won’t clear the backlog by August/September.

We will see the new numbers in couple of weeks but regardless there is a cap for FSW for this year and those ones who won’t get their ppr by august, will most likely land the next year. Or get a rejected 2 years later.

EDIT: I stand corrected.https://www.immigration.ca/canada-immigration-application-backlog-dropping-but-very-very-slowly this link shows data from the end of December until the end of February. It does show the drop of 10K but it’s 5k per month. If the speed is kept then, they can clear about 30k applicants until the end of august. Which means that 15K will be pushed to the next year.

I doubt there are (any significant figure of) CEC apps left in the backlog by March though.
Assuming that the workforce assigned to EE overall stays as-is, they obviously won’t be working on CEC cases now (because there are barely any; if there are, it takes from the 48k number) until the new ones come in. So the skew does not matter when we look at April to August, it’s the overall apps/month that counts.

Being optimistic today, I think there’s a reason why the draws resume in July rather than, say, right now. It has to do with the estimated timeframe by which they need new apps to fill the workload toward 2023 targets. They don’t need new apps if the backlog is to remain stuffed. (Again, I’d be totally wrong if we were still stuck with Mendicino)

Right. However, your initial analysis where you said that they clear 10k of apps per month should include CEC applicants.

I have said it before, I am really looking forward to the latest numbers from backlog. Irrespective, target numbers for 2022 will push some people to 2023. That’s just reality.

Hi All,

I'm feeling led to create a community of new immigrants. This group has and is giving me so much, and has made me believe this world to be a better place.
Each one of us got here to help one another, this group gave me hope when I had none at all, and literally met some God sent people.

I know for many it's PPR, then COPR, and landing. But then, what? How to sustain your life in Canada? Does one need to start from scratch? How to find a job? Make a living? Everything before and everything in between.
I am not even sure if what I'm proposing is going to be a success, but it's a worth a try. We can reunite through the below group and offer support to each other even after we land.

I'm adding a link below, so you can join if you want to be part of this community.

Just my way of giving back to the community who has given me so much that not mere words can explain.

God bless you all.

Guys, My AOR is 8th April 22 PNP Ontario, will my file also be processed in this 6 months timeline? or is that only for post July files? Secondly, does COR have anything to do with the processing time?

The 10k did include CEC. But it’s not like those officers who worked on CEC just stop and snooze when CEC runs out (currently happening). They switch to FSW/PNP.

It most likely will assuming no overwhelming complexity with your file.

3 Dependents, Not much Travel, 1 PCC, 1 Job, No visa refusals, But COR is Pakistan and i haven't seen any PPR's for it lately

No, COR has nothing to do with processing times.
All I can tell you is do not fall for anything they say with regards to timeline. However, just pray and remain hopeful that covid doesn't get in the way. In this way, things will fall into place for everyone.

Files are moving for Pakistan. A lot of them Don't worry, God's got you.

No, you don't need to attach any of those. If you need to clarify any of your entries in the form, then you add an LOE, otherwise, just complete the form and send it.

Friends, in the schedule A, section for Education, they are asking about Apprenticeship information. I did a couple of unofficial/official internships during summers as well 6 months projects both during my graduation and Post graduation. Should I include all of these details in the table? Thanks!
