Congrats to everyone who got MR. Seems like London and Vienna VO applicants will have to wait for spring or summer I guess. What else can we conclude here. Just unbelievable, so stressful, frustrating and so tiring.

Why would they ask for your wife PCC if they will not be able to process your application before they clear the backlog?

I respect FIFO system. That's the most fair thing any VO can do. But it's strange that some VO's decided to issue visas to FSW 2013 applicants and let FSW 2010 applicants waiting. It's just strange. Who gives the authority to VO to do something like that? Ministerial Instructions are issued for...

Official processing time for FSW applications in New Delhi VO is 22 months but FSW 2013 applicants are getting AOR emails with a notice that their applications will be processed in 10 months. VO Cairo is sending MR's to FSW 2013 applicants and their official processing time is 20 months. VO...

I understand that but CPP-Ottawa has raised the processing time from 15 months to 25 months. Obviously they have a backlog but they have still processed some FSW 2013 applicants. Why are LVO and VVO, NDVO not doing the same ? Is the backlog related to 2010, 2011 and even 2012 applicants only...

Processing times sheet has been updated. Some visa offices like Vienna have increased their processing time. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/skilled-fed.asp I don't understand how did some people got MR if their VO has 18 or 21 month as a deadline for processing for FSW...

Yes, NOC 2263 is very very specific profession. Around the world OHS and EHS professionals are performing some unique duties, but also a certain number of specific duties, depends of the country, region legislation etc..... I wish luck to all of us and soon I will start sharing some things here...

Foreign service officers would suspend strike if bargaining resumes ! http://www.ottawacitizen.com/touch/story.html?id=8927809

Can I ask for a file transfer from VO Vienna to CPP Ottawa ?

Pretoria VO recently increased their processing time to 21 months so it's strange that FSW 2013 applicant already got his visa. ::)

Thank you for info. :)

No news from Vienna my friend. Not even AOR after one month :(

Hi guys, I am reading some other forum discussion sites and I found out that one person (FSW 2013 applicant) from Johannesburg has already received his passport back with PR visas stamped. The time line is in his signature. His user name is Charl&Wouter...

There has been a discussion about this already 3 years ago. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/combination-of-2-ielts-exam-results-for-canadian-immigration-t51139.0.html Please go for another exam. If you compare the results from your 2 tests, you can see that you...

Colombo VO has current processing time longer than Vienna VO, so this MR that NOVA1112 received is a big surprise for me. Anyway, we all hope that all other VO will start issuing MR's soon.

Congrats to everyone who got PER. Regarding MR from HK VO, I saw that processing time for FSW in that office is 14 months so it's weird that MR's are coming already. Is there any other VO that has sent MR to any applicant ?

I am looking at the 2011 spreadsheet and see that for example user le_piafetta from Vienna visa office applied on August 31, 2011 and received her PR visa on February 28, 2012. I know that official processing time on CIC website for PR applications at that time was around 12 months for Vienna...

Wow, new cap update really surprised me. In such a short period of time, such an increase in numbers for two "hot" occupations. Everybody else, apply as soon as possible if you are eligible and have your documents ready. Unfortunately, diploma assessment really made some hardworking and fast...

Now that some of us here have their files forwarded to local visa office, we are looking into next steps. So, I am reading operating procedure for FSW and I found this on page 27 and 28: 12. Procedure Note: Officers may choose to exercise their authority for substituted evaluation in respect...

Thanks :) It's been a long journey. In 2010 my wife was ready to apply for FSW and than the list of 38 NOC eligible occupations became the list of 29 NOC eligible occupations and mandatory IELTS was implemented to be sent with initial application. She got IELTS and another references for other...
