    Called CIC today and got starnge answer

    :D :D You remind me of a good friend of mine! He has a habit of pursuing arguments that have no benefits for him. You have some valid points and you are technically right about this whole LIMA deal but bear this in mind: Canada will recruit immigrants and guess what: IT IS NOT UP TO YOU TO END IT.

    I will have PNP but I don't meet EE criteria ??!

    I think jes-ON is correct that having an existing Provincial nomination will NOT qualify you to enter EE. However, Express Entry documentation is pretty vague about whether you can use an existing nomination to get 600 points or not. For example I have already applications in both PNP and CEC...

    AOR WAITING PNP CIC APPLICANTS

    I don't think that is normal and I believe something is going on with your file. People from September 09 got their AOR in Nov: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/any-september-applicant-got-aor-t254647.0.html I would recommend calling CIC and getting to the bottom of...

    BOWP - How many of you have applied and received it successfully?

    Hey guys I received an email last night saying: "Your application has been updated. Please sign in to your MyCIC account and check your application status and messages for more information." When I check MyCIC account, there are no updates or new messages. I have applied for BOWP on Oct 26...

    PNP Application to CIC in 2014

    This is a good thread, Thanks for creating it. It would be best if you come up with a tracking spreadsheet just like the ones that people have in Canadian Experience Classes. My Timeline: Province: Alberta Application sent: September 28, 2014 Received in CIO: October 03, 2014 Stream: Strategic...

    Please share your thoughts in my case..delay of AOR

    It is ironic how some lawyers screw you up after they have taken your money. I was working with this lawyer on my PNP file and she told me she will send my file herself. Back then I was not checking this forum but I knew from my friends that AINP sends confirmation emails once they receive the...

    BOWP - How many of you have applied and received it successfully?

    Did you apply online or paper? You are definitely right about the processing times though! It is creeping up everyday. I was hoping to hear from somebody with similar timelines to see what's going on. My WP is valid until next FEB but I was hoping to get the new one ASAP and get it over with. Thanks

    BOWP - How many of you have applied and received it successfully?

    Hey guys I was wondering what is the timeline for Online BOWP applications approval. I applied on October 26 online and have not heard anything yet. Checked my CIC account and nothing there either. It would be great if somebody who applied recently could share their timelines here.

    Re submit a returned application

    I have read in other topics that you can re-send the same documents if they were not the reason for the application being returned. I have also seen people talking about their documents being marked-up everywhere so don't worry. Just a note on two of the forms (background and additional family I...

    July - 2014 Applications

    We were hoping for it to speed up as summer ends but it is got even slower :] Their timeline is 8-10 weeks as I called and asked and I would be lucky if I get AOR after 10 weeks with this trend. They give so few AOR's every week and the queue just gets longer All CEC people are somehow stuck...

    HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET AOR AFTER RE-SUBMITTING APP?

    Please check the July Applicants Thread and tracking spreadsheet. You are not too far off and quite a few people are still waiting for AOR with the same timeline as you. The processing is brutally slow right now :-[ :-[

    It should if your employer is a Canadian company. Does not hurt to call CIC and check with them as well.

    July - 2014 Applications

    I believe Sydney office only checks to make sure all necessary documents for the evaluation of the application is there then they send it to a visa office to evaluate the eligibility. I applied once in 2012 under CEC with my research experience in university and even though I got File Number and...

    BOWP - How many of you have applied and received it successfully?

    If they issue a file number, it means you fall under the cap and good to go. If the cap is already full, then they will not assign a file number and instead will return the application to you.
