To James1 and danishsoomro,

Guys could you please confirm your country of origin and country of residence? Are you both from UK and currently living in UK?

You are currently the only guys to have received med requests from London so trying to fathom London patterns for sending these out!

Thanks,
Wayne.

Ok I will put that down for now then unless he confirms otherwise!

OK guys I have updated the projections tab on the spreadsheet following the totals update on 28 March.

Current projections are that CIC will receive 12,023 applications by 30 June 2011.

We haven't got relatives in Canada and neither of our jobs is even on the Cat 1 list, but we were able to apply because my husband got off his backside and went over there and secured a job. FSW Cat 2 applications rightly get several more points for adaptability by virtue of already having a job.
For FSW Cat 1, yes, it is harder, but when you read the figures regarding the number of Cat 1 immigrants who fail to get a job and also who return to where they came from within 5 years, you would understand that this is what the Canadian government immigration policy is all about.
They don't want lots of foreigners coming with no jobs! Most countries don't.
If you are serious about it, it isn't "simply impossible" to immigrate to Canada, despite having no relatives or other help to get there - you just have to be committed and try very hard to get a job there and then you have to be prepared to go on a TWP until the PR comes through.

Amen to that!!!!
We did the same thing, worked very hard to find a job and got 78 points in the end WITH a job!
The only thing what is giving the delay is that your joboffer (AEO) is being checked and checked and checked by CIO and CIC.....

Kind regrads,
Louise!

Congratulation Sasi,

It is very interesting, your PER date is 14 February, but you have got it on 30 March. What has happened with your PER? Has it been to wrong way?

It is no important any more.

Congratulation again !

Regards

Viktoria

Very well said! Anyone who is serious can book themselves a 2 week holiday, get over there and get a job offer, sort the LMO and then go there permanently once their TWP comes in and apply from there. With a job offer you would get +15 points which should be very sufficient for anybody of decent intelligence and education to get over 67 points.

This is certainly the route we were resided to taking (had to wait until close to August 2011 since we can't sell our house before then) but with the rule changes of 26th June 2010 the FSW1 opportunity presented itself.

I do find it a bit tiresome when backlog applicants whine about how unfair it is that they have to wait so long. Whereas I have sympathy for the long wait they've endured, the fact is they don't have the skills Canada needs right now - and if they were serious they could be in Canada within 12 to 15 months if they'd go find a job rather than wait 3,4,5,6,7 years in the backlog. Or if they ARE on the new FSW1 list this is nothing to prevent them from making a parallel application.

I honestly don't see why Canada should process backlog applicants with no job offers who are not on the in-demand list - since all this would achieve would be to bring them in to take jobs off Canadians, which is not what Canada wants or needs.

Wayne,

Don't you think we will become part of this backlog of applicants if the professions in demand change this coming June and unfortunately we where just in hands of slow VOS's? I really hope we are not... :'(

Wayne, it is good for you (read Europeans) to say that as you all can pick up your bag and go to Canada as a tourist. For us (read most Asians) we need a tourist visa and if you see the requirements of the tourist visa, they are very cumbersome and lengthy (read not easy). Cheers

9j, I admire your spirit and can not wait to rejoice with you when your PER comes.Keep faith ,great man.

Thanks Eljo. Hopefully, will share the good news soonest.

Well that is a concern - however the last "in demand" list lasted for 2.5 years. If an occupation is on the list for only a year and is dropped in July 2011, and the applications take longer than a year to process, then by definition it means nobody from that occupation has had any opportunity to get the visa before Canada has decided they don't want them.

Although the points system will definitely change I am actually expecting the in-demand list to be the same or similar.

And by "backlog" applicants I am referring to pre-Feb-2008. Post-Feb-2008 at least conform to a recent list of wanted applications even if that list is slightly outdated.

By cumberstone and lengthy (two words which don't mean anything without a frame of reference), could you please embelish a bit. What is involved in getting a tourist visa and how long does it take?

Wayne.

I guess you can inform the VO of the change in the passport number for your spouse now.

Thanks,

Indira Prabhakaran.

Thanks for the reply Indira but I have not yet received my spouse passport.
Once I will get that I will immediately inform to ND VO.

Do I email or send case specific inquiry?

Thanks
Barkat
