Gentlemen,

All 2007 applicants who are under old system can do nothing but wait. Only patience will bear fruits. Never ask CHC what is goin on if your case is with in normall processing times (i.e. 36-42 months), which they have also mentioned in your first letter coz repetitive questioning piss them off. One thing is for sure that their progress is really slow with old cases but they are doin it.

One of my friend who parents are already immigrants applied 6 years ago, has just submitted his documents recently and now waiting for medical call. So u can imagine what's really goin on.

Also processsing times conditions have changed. A year ago it said that 30% of cases finalized in 36 months. Now it says 30% of cases fianlized in 60 months. After all this terrorism scare and current country's situation, they are taking long, they are scrutanizing people more closely, and people whose occupations are on ministirial list are being given priority coz that's Canada's labour market requirement at the moment.

Putting all above together, we 2007 and before Feb 27, 2008 guys have to wait.

Regards. Cancon 1
Fully-agree with the above posting,... while we are waiting, we can always search around and gauge the job market there, see where is the best city/town to stay in, or even earn more money to prepare for the move and the eventual relocation in Canada,.... let's not just sit down and wait, it's not productive,....

Very right. Just wait and see, at last all old applicants will be successful.

Yes, let's keeping discussing.We almost have the same dreams and by communicating we ease up the stress that we may encounter as we approach our dreams.

The good thing happening now is that,some visa offices are handling 2007 cases.Has anyone here got any communication from CIC?

It's becoming extremely difficult to know what's going on in most CHCs regarding the SAP cases.Even handling of our files has become a mystery thus not easy to predict the next call! What is left of us is to choose the "list 38" option -if eligible-option B is to wait and hope that our occupations might fall into the demand list.Main words are:pray, Hope & Wait.

My Dear Oldies,

You are all right......We should just continue to wait and pray.

More importantly stay glued to this forum so that we can at every moment ease tension.

Make more money and learn new things; as for me, am learning french seriously....who knows, I may end up in Quebec.

Regards,

Guys,... if you haven't heard, rules have changed again, the "List of 38" has been "compressed" to a lower number of occupations. And only if you fall inside these occupations will you be considered.

But I think this will not affect us - we are the backlogs. We just need to keep waiting for our turn.

This will affect the applicants from now onwards. It's getting more difficult to get there in a legal way.
