They have a huge backlog at the moment and probably didn't have the time to start the process on your application yet. I got my file number on Nov 2nd and still didn't get my nomination (same applies to others I heard from and we all applied under skilled worker).

Don't worry they will get to it.

Dear JCS

Thanks for your response friend, actually i was wondering if my status is same after 130 days then how long will take take to get nomination,...hmmmmm...probably 15months

At the moment people say it takes 5 to 15 months. I called them last week to find out if I should get a plane ticket to Germany to wait there (my visa runs out at the end of September and I can't extend it) and was told that it is up to me. I could get it by the end of October because then it is a year but I shouldn't rely on it. It feels like there is a stand still at the SINP. The guy on the phone asured me that they do what they can to get through the cases with the resources they have at the moment. Which I guess is not a lot. A few weeks ago they had job postings on saskjobs.ca looking for an immigration officer and data analyst.
So there really is no way of finding out how long your or anyone elses case will take.
