In my opinion, preparing reports to media and contacting MP are unlikely to change anything such as processing time. CIC always do things at their own pace. It's similar to working with a lazy senior co-worker who is at a company prime position, has seniority and authority, and he/she doesn't...

I have a question regarding contacting local MP: According to my location, postal code and the link to find local MP, my local MP is Stephen Harper. Isn't him too 'big' to contact? I can't imagine contacting former Canadian PM and I didn't dare to contact him when he was the PM ... FYI, 5 mins...

I really hope he overhaul the LMIA bullsh!t soon. Not like I need it to renew my WP but with LMIA everything is just too stupid. I mean some of my favourite sushi restaurants shut down, moved to US or went back to Japan coz it's too expensive to get LMIA for chefs. So what does CIC want after...

Just compared my GCMS notes dated in mid-July and mid-September. No updates at all on 'ASSESSMENT'. Criminality was 'in progress' in July and was still 'in progress' in September, anything else that were blank in July remains blank in September. I am a September 2014 applicant, it is clear...

The way I see it, it's unpredictable on when these cic idiots will continue processing Aug/Sept/Oct 2014 applicants. There is no solid ground to predict that anything will be processed in the next week, next month or so. It could be next month when ppl start to get MR again but likely not. Cic...

I think I know the answer that I asked in my last post ... It will be very looong to receive PR, months to even years. Anyway, posted my GCMS notes to hopefully give useful info for others. - nn

GCMS notes Just received my GCMS notes. It has: ASSESSMENTS Eligibility: Security: Not Started HIRV: Criminality: In Progress Org Crime: Medical: Misrepresentation: Other Reqs: Final: I am a September 24 2014 applicant. Everything is blank, except criminality is in progress and Security is...

I think not.

Good estimations. My estimation is January to April 2016 for MR and August to December 2016 for PR, making processing time 16 to 18 months after AOR.

This is a simple average number versus standard deviation topic in statistics. CIC posted average processing time with no data on standard deviation. One billionaire and 999 homeless people on average is 1000 millionaires, but have a very large standard deviation in averaging. Seems these CIC...

I share almost the same timeline and conditions with you, and need senior advice on this too. Has anyone in this forum actually have done this? From what I see, what if this CEC boat might have been a sinking boat? What if CIC as despicable as it is, abandon all CEC applications and advise all...

This is exactly what we need at this moment. Respect for Megan Batchelor. All of our application files are qualified and yet are not getting processed properly. Indeed it is the only thing that adversely affecting my life and future in Canada - if that future still exists. My job, my career, my...

Daniel I have some questions for you: I am the principal applicant, my wife is the dependent, and with AOR I can extend my BOWP. If my WP and my wife's WP expire on the same day, can we file 2 BOWP applications at the same time? Thanks - nn

Thanks for these info. So, 5 months for AOR and 15 months for processing, make it 5 + 15 = 20 months. GJ CIC

CIC didn't say about this - old CEC will need to wait years. To me, not confirming and giving out these info to applicants are one of the worst thing happening now. It does look a somewhat suspicious. Similarly, CIC didn't give out any info on "global cap reached" for Nov/Dec 2014 applicants...

I don't see validity of CIC diverting more staff to work on EE applications slowing CEC down. There were no more CEC applicants since January 2015; EE replaced CEC. Technically CIC is still working on the same volume of applications and there are no good excuse of slowing down. Besides, only a...

You're on "implied status" until you receive your new WP. As for what would happen to your employment, likely no change will happen, but you really should follow up with your HR department if your company is large enough to have one. My company is the size of 100 to 500 people and the HR said...

I believe the Internet is a free thinking place and so does this forum. People can hack the internet, post p()rns and say F*** YOU too if they feel like so. You don't control these; that's what Admin's are for. Even a real CIC visa officer does not have the right to require us not to post a...

I suspect this "processing time" will increase again when cic update it in 3 months from now, to processing time being 16 months minimum. It is apparent that the current CEC applications are slowing down, as the proof of September and October applicants took 130+ days to receive their AOR as...

I meant 2016 With the current trend of CIC delaying us as much as they want and seemingly stopped processing our cases, being a September 2014 applicant I don't expect to get PR this year at all. Like I said if you receive PR by November 2015 I can mail you a $100 congrats cheque. I am confident...
