Well, the bad news is, from the data available, it appears that PNP-O applicants are processed a little slower than their FSW-O counterparts.Mr Optimist said:That's interesting... I expected PNP will be given preference for crying out loud last year!!
First it was CEC vs FSW during OINP... Now FSW-O vs PNP-O!! Why am I always on the weaker side?!! Aargh!!
As Mr Optimist wrote, I also use to often hear and read that PNP-O applications are usually processed much faster than FSW-O applications. But now I think either it was all myth created for us, or the legend was wrong in calculating the data .rajkamalmohanram said:Well, the bad news is, from the data available, it appears that PNP-O applicants are processed a little slower than their FSW-O counterparts.
From the NDVO spreadsheet, for instance, we can see that the average processing time for 66 FSW-O applicants is 161 days. For PNP-O applicants (based on the data of 85 applicants) is 175 days. This is a very small sample set AND it shows data from one VO only.
Well, you could calculate the average for yourself.

But most probably the same VO, mentioned in the spreadsheet, will process our application. Again it will be luck-by-chance kind of thing.
I think the difference of the 10 days (week and something) is because of the additional step, when they contact your province (which they do). So it points that everything else is treated just as fast for FSW-O and PNP-O applicants. Advantage of a PNP is that there is lower rejection rate on the basis of a non complete application (most of the time EE PNP streams has very similar documents requirements).rajkamalmohanram said:Well, you could calculate the average for yourself.

Yes, there are always exceptional cases. I'm game if NDVO wants to issue PPRs sooner for PNP applicants (who doesn't want that?) but I suppose we should keep the 6 months timeline in mind to avoid disappointment .
That's really weird. I always thought pnp would get processed faster since most of the checks have been done by the province.vensak said:I think the difference of the 10 days (week and something) is because of the additional step, when they contact your province (which they do).

Yea, may be. If we can put together and analyze the data from multiple VOs, then we can get a clearer picture.vensak said:I think the difference of the 10 days (week and something) is because of the additional step, when they contact your province (which they do).

That's what the intuition says, yes. IRCC does its own checks though.aditik15 said:That's really weird. I always thought pnp would get processed faster since most of the checks have been done by the province.
As "legend" I am not pointing the blame to you, but metaphorically saying as the legend said . I know you from our OINP days. I believe in you.rajkamalmohanram said:Well, you could calculate the average for yourself. Link in my signature.
6 months is at least. No questions aboutt it, anything before is a blessing .rajkamalmohanram said:Yes, there are always exceptional cases.

Past rejections wouldn't necessarily affect your current application. As long as you have mentioned it, you are good to go IMO.s.abuhass said:by the way I have a question, is it an issue for someone which would affect the process and might lead to rejection in case I applied for a visitor visa 2 years ago and got rejected? I have mentioned that already in my application but my representative said no need to go into details, she only mentioned when it was applied and rejected!
thanks in advance for the help!
