I can't understand that why all people compare with the FSW guys whereas they've different criteria to apply different deadline for the completion of the application along with this they haven't signed any document in which they have mentioned where is intended to reside in particular area /territory for a specific time period . Whereas we have been selected by Quebec province .
I think you people(inland) are still lucky enough because you already are in Canada you have already adopted the culture/atmosphere/weather conditions of Canada. Most importantly you people already have job in your hands.Whereas we are still looking for a Dream that A Golden day will come & We will land in Canada with our families & will start a new life there.
Please don't mind if am saying this because these kind of words/desperation from inland applicants somewhere trouble/demotivate we people (outland applicants )
As for me I have started the entire process (Learning french) in Nov'2011 and have applied for the CSQ in May'2012 received CSQ in May'2016 .
There after Applied QSW on 20/7/16
AOR-25/11/16
MR -29/12/16
Med Done -9/1/17
RPRF paid -10/1/17
BackgroundCheck -Not Started Yet
DM-Waiting
So for me it's more than 5.5 Years
But still waiting.
I know a person(Outland ) whose VO was New Delhi named jitenderakkari & he had received his PPR right in the 16th month from the date of Application. There is another forum member named Mgazi whose VO is Abu Dhabi Received AOR IN Feb'2016 & still waiting for the Medical request.
So guys we are here to motivate each other & discuss the issues we have and to share the timelines etc.
In a single line to help each other .
So guys please don't be desperate or frustrate because God is always along with us & He definitely will fulfil our Dreams.
From the bottom of my heart I really apologize if I have hurt any body's emotions/feelings.
You know, it seems true what you said, but reality can be different. When you have a temporary residence, you need to check your permit and "if they don't accept me this time?" (4 temporary permit for me)
As you said, we have a history in Canada and CIC decision can affect our entire life. Some inland had children here, landed in Canada many years ago (like me), our future is more incertain than outland. If we don't have our PR, our dreams which are already beginning will fail miserably. As I said, I live in Canada since I have 17 years old. I'm now 22. I had my first job here, my first appartment, my first boyfriend, my first mistakes and troubles etc...I did my immigration alone, so for me, Canada is my country.
Could you picture if I must come back to France? It's not my country anymore!
Each inland applicant have his history with Canada. When you taste this freedom, it can be really hard to step back because you're not "elligible".
Plus, you need to figure something: we are not free. We must respect our permit conditions (work hours, no studies...) and be considere as a " immigrant" Since the beginning of the process, I lost 3 jobs. I passed the exam, they offered me a job but"oh you haven't a PR"...No but I have a open work permit..."it's not the same thing"...Same thing with studies.
Life isn't always pink
