All I've seen is this about it changing to 23 months is this http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?nid=904889 Not sure when it comes into effect as the 2015 visa info isn't on the IEC site yet. I wish it would be like Aussie and let you do the visa more than once like it used to be.

Still no update for us :( waiting, waiting waiting!

Yes this whole waiting without a timeline is so frustrating! Our lives are on hold because we can't make any plans either for Canada or staying here. Not nice not being able to take control of your own life and make plans. Weeks are passing by and nothing is being achieved :( I know it'll all...

Unfortunately we don't get a second application for IEC if you are a NZ citizen. A few years ago you could but unless things change in this years IEC you can only do it once :( We're waiting on a LMIA so we can get a standard work permit since we cant do IeC again which might be an option if...

Congrats! At least we know they are still working during the Xmas/New Year period :)

We're about the same. 13 weeks total since application sent in and 4 weeks since payment an file number assigned. Our employer is using a lawyer too and it hasn't made any difference Here's to lots of positive results in 2015!!!

Can anyone help me out about spouse points with the federal trade program and EE. Under FST currently my qualifications aren't required to be assessed nor do I need to do an IELTS test. It's all based on my husbands trade quals, experience and IELTS for entry criteria. Just wondering how the...

Hope you're right it's just the stat holidays, don't need to give them an excuse to work any slower haha! Guess employees can take extra holidays like any of us though. Santa please bring a positive LMiA

I had a feeling there would be some kind of long Christmas break coming up soon :( We've told ourselves not to expect an answer before Christmas now - but secretly hoping we have a case officer who wants to clear their desk by Christmas and give us a positive results haha !! NOC 7283 - Calgary...

We're still waiting NOC 7283, Calgary Application sent - 15 Sept approx File number issued and payment taken - 23rd November Not holding our breath that we'll hear anything before Christmas! Would be great if we did but since everything has taken so long to this point it might be wishful thinking.

Congrats to the new approvals, it's week 12 since we submitted so hoping for a result soon!

Congrats to those with progress to PER Doesn't look like we'll make it in time to apply before Dec 31, still waiting on LMIA :( So back to the drawing board when it changes to EE for either CEC or FST under the new system.

Hiya Mike Only just saw this sorry, and wrote a big reply then my phone crashed - typical! We were based in Ottawa after travelling the west and my husband got work straight away in construction I struggled a bit finding accounting work mainly because I think of the short term 1 year visa and...

Congrats! We're mid September for 7283 so hoping we hear soon too :)

It'd be good if the changed it so you could apply more than once too! We are waiting on a LMIA because we already used our one year visa

Oh no sorry to hear about the rejections :( doesn't make me feel very positive We are waiting on the lawyer to chase up this week and apparently our employer is getting a form from his lawyer I presume on how to answer questions from SC. I just want an answer so we can move on with our...

Fantastic Jay! Finally some great news, I hope we hear something soon :) our app went in mid September

Thanks everyone, best of luck getting some progress on your applications!

Hiya I was just wondering how long it took from mailing your application to receiving a confirmation they have the file? We are waiting on a LMIA application at the moment before submitting the FST application so worried about the change to express entry on 1 Jan. If we get the chance to send...

Good luck Jay! Our employer has also been told by his lawyer that the lawyer has a phone appt with the officer in Friday so we're hoping for an update then too!
