17 weeks?? For SOWP? Meaning you applied around Nov end and still haven't heard back? I'm asking coz we haven't been hearing from any applicants from Nov or Dec lately about their application not being processed. So I assumed 2016 applications have been seen to and they are waiting to start on...

Primarily it should note that you are a full-time employee (30+ hours of work per week). Try to get them to avoid mentioning the end date of your contract. Include 4-5 most recent paystubs, and additionally your bank statement just to reiterate you can support her financially.

That 117 days is for paper application. For online application its around 34 days. Again both the timelines are for applications made in Canada. For country specific timeline, we need to check processing times. (which says 10 weeks, and ppl are still waiting to hear back even after 11-12 weeks.)

First job in Canada is going to be very hard to get. Don't wait to find one that actually needs 7yrs of experience etc. Take some junior/mid-level positions, switch jobs after one year. And after one year, you become eligible for PR, so it'd make transitions easier. Your priority should be to...

if this was any reference, you should have received some communication by end of Feb/ early Mar. Wondering if they have put sowp on hold or something. I applied on 9 Jan, 2017.

I too had applied couple of documents through CSE, and received similar email after 2 weeks. (this was in mid-Feb) Didn't feel it was generic. They mentioned they had received the documents for my file that was located in New Delhi visa office. The mail was also signed by an actual person, not...

There was a server maintenance last weekend (as per notice on cic website). After that the wordings were changed. All of us are seeing this new message, people who applied in Dec/Jan/Feb... We did get our hopes up for couple of hours, but yeah, nothing actually has changed. :/

When its taking almost everyone we hear from in this forum more than 80-90 days to even have the file opened, why is the processing time still showing 10 weeks? As per cic website, processing time is avg time taken to 'complete' the processing. If there was more clarity from their side on...

My manthra to stay calm with all these delays, think about the refugees who've applied to come to Canada. We are applying to be with our better half, have a slightly more wholesome life. They are applying to escape the very existential threat to their life from war and famine.

I think we should wait out a little more, go with CSE if we don't hear back after 10-11 weeks. My gut feeling is, this delay is because, from November onwards CIC has been inviting quite a lot of people to apply for express entry. The numbers went from 600-700 a month to nearly 4000 this month...

since processing time says 10 weeks, better to wait till it's past that before contacting them. anyways New Delhi office has a poor record of replying to even genuine queries.

You can and should definitely start applying for jobs now. It will anyways be a few weeks before you get calls for interviews and and another couple of weeks before you reach the stage where they require you to submit copy of your work permit. Employers don't mind if you haven't received your...

W is the prefix for all work permits, open, closed, spouse wp etc... If you applied online you can check it in your account. If you're in canada, you can call their toll-free num and key in your application num. But talking to an agent doesn't do much good since your application is being...

Isn't it past the 10 week processing time they mention? Have you tried to contact immigration office? Also anyone else who applied after Dec 20 heard back from CIC yet? Kindly update so we can have an idea of the time its taking them. Thanks!

False alarm :( nothing to get excited about. looks like they changed the wordings after yesterday's server update. "This online service will be unavailable from 3:30 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. Eastern time, on Tuesday, March 7, 2017, in order to perform system maintenance." Just made the status messages...

So yeah, I just checked my account, and the Final decision tab shows "your application is in progress. we will send you a message once the final decision has been made." Till yesterday the status was 'not started'. I did NOT receive any email saying any application has been updated. My...

I'm from Bnglre, currently working in TN, so for me the closest hospital was in Trivandrum, Kerala and they mentioned all that confusing scenarios :/

Well for me, when I called the hospital for appointment, they said that if its for work permit, they need offer letter to do the test. I mentioned this was sowp and there is no work offer involved. They then asked me to wait for the letter from cic in such a scenario and bring the IMM form they...

My understanding is, and I might be wrong, when you apply online you don't actually have the option to submit medical, but rather a request asking them to send you medical instructions. So what I've seen in a few forum threads is people re-uploading the same medical result in the upload option...
