FSW WORLDWIDE

[seadrag0n]

My oh My. My application just crossed 60 days bar and under dip for over a week. Is that normal ?
Thank you

Yes, send them an email if you don't get any update after 90 days.

The bar has come again???

It's for OINP application.

The only logical reason I could think of is to clear or significantly reduce the backlog (both inland and outland) before inviting more candidates to the queue. They are going to use inlands to meet 2021 targets while outland (FSW) and expired COPR outlanders will be used for the first quarter of 2022. Using this logic, they should start FSW-O backlog at some point in November to give time for visa stamping and travel. Again, using this logic, they should start all program draws by January for the remaining quarters’ targets.

Other than reducing the backlog, it doesn’t make sense not to hold draws when even IRCC admitted anyone invited after September will only contribute to the target of the following year.

Wow this guy here predicted it all. Now, hoping the general draws resume by January

Indeed.

On Nov 22, the new guy gets the official mandate. Then IRCC will get final formal approval. From Jan, I think it will be back to normal. December is kind of holiday time... so not much will get done then.

It does give me joy to see things progress for once as we had hoped. Someone here I remember also informed that they had contacted the MP and was informed that IRCC would start full operations once the new minister was sworn in. So far looks right. Props to that guy/gal

Good day guys please i've got a very pressing question.
My wife who is accompanying me to Canada has a sibling who is a Pr in Alberta.
Now my question is will Alberta recognize this as though i have a sibling point considering the fact that the sibling is for my accompanying spouse and not directly mine as the principal applicant.
Also when filling up the express entry i ticked No when asked if i have a sibling in Canada but ticked yes when asked same question in the accompanying spouse section.
Thanks

Good question. They are a not blood relative to you. I am not sure if you can get those points.

Looking at the off topic conversations here, I guess this thread wont be around for me to post my PPR news when I get it.
I was hoping to post it here first before anywhere else. Please let this thread live till then.

You can claim points for your spouse's sibling provided the spouse is accompanying PA

This makes sense. Any idea what the estimate of outlanders with COPRs will be if backlogs are cleared by Feb ? If I was to guess it would be more than enough to fulfil first quarter targets.

I really hope that processing times are reduced to at least 9-10 months for FSW-O. AOR 2022 Feb/March is hopefully processed at least by Jan 2023.

I'm not sure how Alberta PNP process works but I'm sure you'd definitely get the sibling points for Express Entry.

In our application, My husband is the PA but I'm the one who's got a sibling in canada.. And he got the sibling point

Received my 3rd set of GCMS notes, no one has touched my application in almost a year. But the increased activity from Ottawa office gives me hope that my application will eventually be looked at in the first couple of months in 2022.
