To msaleemb,

I read few comments made by seniors over here on similar case and by the looks of it your case has been transferred to London VO so Isloo people have made clsoing entry from their end... Next status would be In process from London VO and most probably you ll issued a new file number. Hope for the best...Do check with a senior like PMM, leon or Qorax

Yesterday I sent email to Canadian Embassy in Islamabad and today I got following reply;

Dear Client,



Thank you for your enquiry.



As of April 1, 2010, applications for permanent residence under the Economic categories for citizens or residents of Pakistan will be processed by our office in London, UK. The economic categories are comprised of Federal skilled Workers, Federal Investors, Self-Employed, Entrepreneurs, Provincial Nominees and Quebec-selected Permanent Workers and Business People. Although Islamabad will continue processing a few applications that are close to completion, the majority are being transferred to London. The file transfer of existing permanent residence applications under the Economic categories is currently underway.



We, the Islamabad Office, are not updating your file or adding any information to your file in response to your email.



However, the information below may be useful to you:



If you have received instructions from our office in Islamabad to submit documents, please submit the documents to our mission in Islamabad as instructed.



If you have received instructions from CIO Sydney to submit your application package, please submit these documents to our mission in London. If you have already submitted your application package to Islamabad, then Islamabad will automatically forward this on to London.



If you are enquiring if your application has been transferred and will be processed in London, please be advised that the London Office will contact you when they are in a position to begin processing your application. We regret that neither our office nor London office is able to provide status updates at this time. You may wish to resend your enquiry after November 2010 to the London Office.



At this point, it is too early to tell what the new processing times will be for these cases in London.



We thank you for your patience during this transition period and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum.

Kindly share latest news about pre - 2008 applicants.

Kenney is a politician and is doing what most irresponsible politician do.
He has made a mockrey of the Canadian immigration system and his department.

A backlog of anytime more than a couple of years is unhealthy for the country:

1. Future immigrants loose faith in the system and opt for other means to get entry (illegal means)
2. Government has to spend millions to stop illegal immigration.
3. Any immigrant who lands in the country after waiting for 7 to 10 years has spent a chunk of his productive life waiting. The Country looses these man hours.
4. Dissuades future skilled workers to chose Canada for immigration, they rather choose other countries with faster an more transparent immigration systems.
5. Migrants would take medical and retirement benefits 7 to 10 years earlier.
6. Migrants get 7 to 10 years less time to settle in the Canadian way of life.
7. Migrant's children loose competitive edge by not having Canadian education for that period.
8. The job markets change and the profession in demand are no longer in demand.
9. This reflects the inefficiency of the government as a whole.
10. Defeats the real purpose of Skilled worker immigration.

Now that the old Fast track is also scrapped, as many of the occupation which were in demand are no more in demand, the back log created by this should be behind the older backlog as both are those applicants whose skills and occupations are no longer in demand.
Then why is the old fast track back log being given priority over those waiting longest?

Is Kenney making a fool of just the old back log applicants or is he also making a mockery of the immigration system and his department and even the opposition MPs and parliament where he said "they will get priority who have waited longest"
Or he has made Canada as a country, look foolish and actually fooling the citizen of his own country.
Now the Canadian citizen are paying for his trips across the world to stop illegal immigration and also for immigrants coming after 8 to 10 years and going straight for benefit money as their professions are no longer in demand.
If Kenney cannot run the immigration department efficiently, he should step down to let some one else do the job. We believe actually Kenney's skills of being an ineffective politician are no longer in demand!!

Dear All,

This was posted by SAMRAO 2004 Thread ... Please read & post your comments

This is the information I got from a very reliable source regarding processing time lines.



To a question about the concerns on timelines this is what the minister replied on 16/17 Sept 2010 before his departure from Manila: The present time line in excess of 6 years for FSW processing will be brought down to 4 – 5 years in the current year. The range of time lines is given in 4 categories in the CIC international website ie under 30% 50% 70% and 80%. Soon the 30% of cases will be completed in 4years and 80% cases done in 5 years. The visa posts running high inventory will get assistance to meet the challenges by drawing resources from other visa posts or inducting extra human resources.



My conclusion from the above reply of the minister is as follows:



The present time line CHC Delhi posted as 90 months is because of the fact Dec 2003 is still going on.
The purpose why CIC is posting timelines as 30% 50% 70% 80% could imply the complexity each application may pose while processing. While the cases that come under 30% category could be because of the simplicity the application facts contain. Imagine the applicant is a bachelor/spinster or a person married, with family size 1 to 3 children, the applicant lived in the same place for his entire life till application or in multiple locations mostly in India with an occasional travel abroad a period for not more than 6 months each time how many ever trips he/she may have undertaken. Now imagine the same person living abroad for once away from India which could be under 50% and several spells of different job contracts each time for 1 or 2 years maximum in different countries etc. The complexity keeps increasing, taking marriage and other situations upward requiring of several background checks. The most complex would even go beyond 80% timeline under extraordinary circumstances.
The thinking in Canadian policy makers is undergoing a major metamorphosis and CIC is already showing signs of its implementation. The result of the thinking is the latest ministerial instruction and 29 category announcement. Once the backlog is exhausted, immigration will be only through student migration. Remember the popular saying, ’Catch them Young’. In a few years from now the immigration could possibly be through Student Migration route. Even in the present ministerial tour this was evident. Where ever the minister went he was encouraging students to come to Canada for higher studies. Immigration will be linked and restricted to the international students because their integration into Canadian society will become much easier and readily possible. For this the future Governments should have the same vision and willingness to carry forward this thinking.
The point of our immediate concern is if CIC will truly reduce timelines as above, then the tail enders stand to benefit the most. Dec 2007 along with Feb 2008 may possibly get through by 2012 is my estimation.I want to stress again that the 2004 Jan - Dec will be decided in the current year - before June 2011 itself.
