Hello,harryc said:People feeling a bit down, Here is some comparison that is hopeful and a couple of questions:
CIC announced few days ago that the Federal Immigrant Investor Program is now closed as 700 complete applications have been received at their Centralized Intake Office.
I just cant seem to understand that why another department of CIO (processing 1122) could be running so behind i.e. 7th July's application update on 27th? Is there any reason for that i don't know of? How is that Investor program application any simpler than the 1122 FS intake, which may explain that CIC haven't yet got to all 500 applications that people claim they may have already received ? I want to be realistic and need people to share their views.
As well the point where a chap mentioned that CC applications are faster than BD. Aren't BDs a guaranteed and assured mode of CAD payment and that it cant be cancelled without the original DD returned. Wont the CIC prefer that mode of payment against CC. If not, I am sure it is at least at the same level as a credit card mode of payment.
Your views are welcome!
Thanks,
We had also sent application last year. But as there were many changes in the rules and the IELTS thing, we could only make it on October 28. The CAP was closed just a day before our application reached, as per the letter we received from the CIC stating why our application was being sent back. There are too many view, much appreciated, in this forum. But it is still unbelievable that CIC is processing applications as of July 7 till now. As they have written, TOTAL NUMBER OF COMPLETE APPLICATIONS AS OF JULY 29, so we should go by the statement they are making, which means as of the given date. Now it is impossible to predict, whether my application, that reached on July 26 is within the CAP or not. None of us can predict the status, can we? But apparently, if we go by the statement, it seems that the total number of applications received on July 29 could be any figure, but the number of COMPLETE applications, which is post completeness check is 259. It could also mean that the number of applications received till July 28 have made it to the CAP, if of course those were complete in the sense CIC believes it to be.
This is just an opinion. Feel free to share your views.
