    annual CIC report - confusing

    Well the 2510 is the snapshot number, that means they have 2510 applications with CRS>450 *at the moment*. But it's a dynamic number, new candidates enter the pool all the time. When they do the next draw, this number will decline, and if you do a snapshot then, the number of CRS>450 will be...

    Oh, sorry to hear that. Well, I hope you'll get your PPR before you get your notes!

    AOR in November 2015 - Let's get together

    Really? That's very interesting! I thought that would be the case only for the apps that are processed in LVOs. Well then I hope you're right, I'd really like my BG to go in progress, too)))

    Yeah, I remembered that :) I thought maybe you were applying from inside Canada. So this could mean they're starting on us outlanders! I'm assuming your application is in Ottawa, too, based on your waiting time?

    AOR in OCTOBER - let's get together

    I got my notes in exactly 30 days, but there's been cases of up to 45 days, I think. As for the 4 months - that's normal, you'll get some movement in your 5th month, hang on there :)

    Congrats, PPR people! This immigration process will drive me insane. I spent like 30 seconds wondering what the B4 form has to do with anything here x)

    GCMS Notes

    People usually use either visafile or gcmsnow. I used the latter, got the notes in a month.

    Credit goes to legalfalcon, really, but thanks :) Good luck with your application! I'm hoping we're almost there.

    AOR in November 2015 - Let's get together

    You might be right, Legalfalcon says that ordering GCMS forces an agent to open your file, and if there is anything pending, like the start of a BG check, they will update it since they're already in your file. If that's the case, you'll have some progress after ordering GCMS; if there was...

    How binding is the NOC

    The NOC is not binding in any way. It doesn't really matter which one you choose, as long as it's type 0/A/B and you can prove your experience.

    Finding job after PR

    Thank you nope and Asivad, I'm in the middle of choosing a city to land, so your posts were very helpful. Actually, I can honestly say I'm glad to be in the process of immigration at the same time as you guys, it helps tremendously :) Thank you for your post! It was very interesting for me, as...

    Express Entry - Please clear my confusion

    Like falcons_Lions already said, remember you need to evaluate your education. People usually use WES for that (unless you have a medical profession), make sure to check and follow their rules for your specific country.

    Case Specific Enquiry response ?

    Well, not much)) Med check is the only check that is passed, but I knew that already from myCIC. Security, criminality and even eligibility are not started yet. There were, however, notes from two agents, from the initial check they do at the very beginning, that concluded in my application...

    AOR in OCTOBER - let's get together

    Ok, correct me if I'm wrong - are you asking about your wife's application, for which you are the sponsor? So you're appliying under the Family Sponsorship immigration class? If yes, the Express Entry system works only with the economic classes - Federal Skilled Worker, Federal Skilled Trades...

    AOR in November 2015 - Let's get together

    Like cjs said, it's FCFS after the application crosses 3.5 months mark. Before that there can be a few 'done in 2 months' exceptions, but they're just that - exceptions. As for your earlier post about file being idle - according to my notes, my file is just lying somewhere in Ottawa for 4...

    AOR in OCTOBER - let's get together

    AOR means Aknowledgement of Receipt, basically a letter you get from CIC saying "we got your application". What do you mean by "approved"? and "application received"? Usually the EE stages are: you create an EE profile - you get an ITA - you submit your complete application (or eAPR) - you get...

    Case Specific Enquiry response ?

    Hi JoacRy, just to alleviate some of your worries (that is, if you are worried about it) - that was exactly my situation, and the call center agent told me that they can't do anything for me, too, but that if I did send the CSE, my address will be changed, not to worry. A couple weeks after that...

    AOR in November 2015 - Let's get together

    Well, apart from individual exceptions, if you look at the big picture, they're working on a first-come first-served basis. So October applicants will be procecced before November applicants - I don't see anything strange in the numbers you mentioned, am I missing something? As for whether...
