We are responsible what ius going with H1b... desi consultancies ... people moving CPT after h1b rejection/... we are reaping what we sow

The consultancy model should end or at least controlled. Only genuine vendors who work directly with client must be allowed. The in between companies must be banned.

I do not disagree and for now US is behaving as if it won't impact them. I have heard stories of people doing higher studies in US and not been able to obtain an H1B .. That is not sustainable. The Indian and Chinese students contribute Billions in US education industry. Pick any college / university Indian and Chinese students make a good chunk of it. If it continues like this no one is going to take loans and study there. Every action has a reaction .. and sometimes a delayed reaction.

Truth is US is the biggest job market in the world. For the same skills set I can see many more jobs in the US than any other developed country. And hence they also need immigrants to fill the gap. I think what Canada is doing here is smart. They are kind of "poaching" the talent that US has. Now, it all depends on the leadership in Canada how best they exploit this situation. If I were a business / political leader I would start setting up offices in tier 2 cities of Canada. Let's see how Canada wants to play their hand. If they play it well their economy can see a huge jump.

It's true, I lived in the US for 8 years, doing graduate school and PhD, plus 1 year of OPT and couldn't get a sponshorship for H1B at the end, that is why I applied for permanent residency in Canada.

That's cruel after doing PhD ... they will have to rethink their model soon.

Hi all, first-time poster here but a passive reader for 2 weeks now. Great crowd!

Just want to share my file updates, especially with my CEC inland comrades.

AOR: June 12
ADR: July 18
Medical Passed
IP2 for months now

Got update as followed:
----
It is in Calgary.

Eligibility passed.

Criminality passed July 17, 2018.

Security checks are in process since July 17.

----

I am a noob, but I assume this doesn't mean it is approved.

Wondering why security checks taking so long. And is it normal for it to be in Calgary office?

Was able to get through to an agent just now, basically just confirming above information.

Said the reason it is in Calgary is simply workflows distribution, and that it is in "regular" background check.

So it does feel like they are holding PPRs to maintain the 6-month average time.

GCMS notes may take upto 40 days. If you have crossed that time, send an email to GCMS BUDDY and have them check the status.

My ADR status changed to "Not Applicable" after being in review since July 12th!
There is some movement staying positive!

Should we send some flowers and chocolates to the Sydney office? Seems like they need some love to shower their love on people here.

Hello nice people, i've been a passive reader in this group but today here I am.
I have noticed that delays decreased for pnp applicant at the opposite of the fsw, I think that's because we're at the end of the year and that ircc have engagements to reach a predetermined number of PR for each stream, as they started the year with a good pace for fsw at the expense of pnp, they have now to increase the pace for pnp cases
