Thanks Indira, that was really great.

I was skimming through it as well and for the most part (other than what you have mentioned) things seem to be the same. They have mentioned the 20000 cap quite clearly as well which makes me wonder what the caps are going to be like next year. I read on the CIC news page that they wanted to maintain 240000-250000 applications a year. I think June/July 2011 are going to be very interesting as well. I just hope that ALL of us get thorough most of the process by then and are collecting our visas.

Hi wenstumped:

From what I understand, they have approximately 400,000 applications in backlog and are trying to process 200K this year and 200K next. As for the process itself, for applicants after July 1st 2011, it seems the 67 point system will be raised and made more difficult... So yes, I hope all of us get through this year as well...

Hi Katy,

I feel so sorry for you . I can relate to you as i was in a very pathetic situation too while trying to launch the application. One after another some thing comes up to delay the launch, or even worse if i could gather All the papers or not! But things do happen when time comes and believe me what ever happens, happens for a reason and for good For example, we were thinking of applying for this PR LONG back in 2006. But we were not able to do that in-spite of trying more than a couple of times. That time, i was like so upset and even thought we will never make it to Canada. But time came and i'm glad we are applying now, as we will get the result within a year. Had we applied in 2006, we would have waited for ever to even know if we are in the queue. Sorry if this din't relate to you .

I read in this forum via people who called up CIO to ask for their application status, they were all told they had started to work on the Oct applications and that was around a fortnight back i guess. That's the basis i said they are working on Oct applications.

Please don't give up, try to contact the courier again and again about the status of the package. What is the latest on it?

Thanks,

Indira Prabhakaran.

Dear Indira

Thank you very much for your words of support. That's great to know that you have taken up the right measure in the right time. And I sincerely wish the whole process will go smoothly with you, just the way you wish.

I am on the phone with the courier in my country every monent and a very nice friend of mine is doing the same from inside Canada.But they've got nothing to say except that it is missing. They don't know even where and when they have lost track of it.You know , that's disgusting when you think some reckless ppl have lost an invaluable package that was a gist of your whole life and that was meant to bring a life-changing process into your life and the life of your loved ones. I am in a very desperate situation, just don't want to pass my anxiety and deep sad moments on the thread specially when I see all the joy an dexcitement of getting the PER's by our friends I feel it would be so silly and selfish to pass on some negative emotions.

Anyway,The whole story gose like this;My package which I submitted on Dec 1st to courier has been lost on it's way to the CIO. The courier is not sure where it has lost the track of my package. After several days of follow-up the driver has gone to the CIO to see if it has been delivered without scanning, but has been denied any info due to privacy matters. On the other hand that friend of mine in Vancouver who has been following my case very seriously has called the CIO asking for information. First he was asked for an authorization form signed by me. After we provided that and sent it to the CIO, CIO told my friend that they couldn't give him any information because they are still working on 7th Oct applications and they do not have any info on my app. or any other app. filed after Oct.7. He has said that my case could be followed at least 2 months later. Until then NO INFO. could be given from my case. When asked by my friend whether I should gather and send another package-which of course would be very hard particularly with my original IELTS that has gone lost- the agent had said; NO!!!! Because in case we have received it -without being scanned by the driver- then there would be two cases for the same person and that's against rules. So they wanna to keep me up in the air at least for two other months just to let me know whether or not the app. is with them. My method of payment has been money order, that's kind of cash you know. So I cannot know anything from that either. Now after two months, in case I somehow solve the IELTS problem, would there be any vacancy in 3131???? God knows.

I am desperately in need of your prayers friends.

Wish you all luck and happiness

Good one indira!! can u point me to the page exacty where u found this.. i read through it but wasnt able to exactly decipher to this level of detail..

i should have been able to(applied under 1122)..LOL :'(

 

[wenstumped]

Thanks for the Info Cam, clearing the backlog makes perfect sense since the numbers would add up perfectly. 200,000 from the backlog, 20000 from NOC applicants and another 30000 roughly for family settlements.

Katy, please stay strong and do not worry, for all you know it really is at the CIO already and in two months time they will tell you it is being reviewed by an officer, then in another 40 days you will get your PER. I know how much you want this so my prayers are with you, as they are with all members of this awesome forum.

It is not in a single page I went through the entire process and gathered inputs from the new version. They have outlined the changes made from the old version separately, but i thought it's always better to read the whole process again 8) 8)

Thanks,

Hi Indira:

Well, like all other instruction guides by CIC, it is confusing ??? I don't have time right now to go through it in detail, but I have skimmed the contents... Looks like there is good info on how they will process the applications, and from what I have seen, most of the work is done at CIO... even after the final eligibility is done... which is confusing because they are sending PER emails, telling people your application is being forwarded to VO :

Wayne, are you out there? Take a look at the new OP6 will you, so we can discuss it... thanks.

Cam

I am semi-out there just had a very busy day, will try to take a look tomorrow morning (going out again soon). Have just downloaded the new OP manual.

Hi Katy,

For sure our prayers are with you Don't worry . I would suggest not giving up with the courier company, and also keep an eye on your bank draft and closely check if it's being en-cashed. None other than the CIO can en cash it and that's the best indication that the application has in fact made it to their desk.

We are with you 8) 8) through thick and thin!

Thanks,

Indira Prabhakaran.

You are a great help Indira.+1 from me.

I did go through the new version and here are the my observations;

The CIO does 4 different stages of processing for applications received on or after June 26 2010.

1. The completeness check, which leads to the payment en cashment.

2. Check if the applications correspond to the MI - NOC and job descriptions(Keeping in mind the CAP as well)

3. Check if the applications correspond to the minimal requirements of FSW - here they only check the work experience as to if it occurs in an appropriate NOC and within last 10 years, and that the applicant performed substantial duties etc.,.

4. Assess the applications against the FSW selection criteria. Here they assess and award points based on 6 selection factors and the Proof of funds.

If the application passes through ALL the above 4 stages, then the CIO officer will 'forward the entire application to the visa office identified by the applicant on the IMM 0008 for a selection decision',

Applications can be rejected/refused at any of the above 4 stages and the CIO will intimate the applicants on this if their application failed and they are returning the application.

If the application failed at the 4th stage, The CIO officer will refuse the application (negative selection decision); record outcome and reasons; and send a letter to inform the applicant (see Appendix C for sample letter).

Note: The CIO can only make negative selection decision and not a positive one. So, if the application passes through the 4th stage, the application will be forwarded to the VO, and The visa officer will review the application and case analysis provided by the CIO and make the selection decision.

The VO part is not that clear and hence we have to assume it remains the same.

1. Once they receive the file, they will start the BC on the applications, and request for the PCCs if they were not submitted already.

2. Issue medical and RPRF requests, while they do the security checks

2. Issue the Visas

Long story short, they have made it clear what CIO does and what is left for the VO.

Man! they are keeping good time and 4 months is completely acceptable for all the 4 stages @ the CIO.

Also, for those lucky ones with the PERs, you have all passed through the most difficult stages already and cheer up! It's just the background, medical and security checks remaining

Thanks,

Indira Prabhakaran.

So, we think with all certainty that if you have received your PER
1) Your application is complete
2) Your duties correspond sufficently to the duties and they have long enough experience (2 and 3 above look very similar to me!)
3) That you have 67+ points

The above makes sense because even though they dropped the "AOR" line from the previous set OP, they did say that the application is forwarded to visa office AFTER selection + admissability (which is where they tot up your points to ensure you have at least 67).

Can we also say that once your PER has arrived, your visa application can only really fail now if:
1) Something in the security or background checks brings up something from your dim and dirty past that you haven't told them!
2) You fail your medicals

The question now is, what will the visa offices do with the incoming applications, in relation to the pre-June-26 applications they already have? Slot them in behind the ones which are already at the security/background check stage?

Direct comparisons of processing times at visa office cannot really be done since pre-June-26 had significantly more to be done at the visa office than ours will. But IMO the process will be a lot shorter. So if the average finalisation time is 10 months for pre-June-26 applicants, one might expect the post-June-26 applicants finalisation to be 5/6 months. So for a 10 month visa office we should see some actual visas around May/June 2011 for those who received their PER in November? Or am I just being overly optimistic?

Has anyone managed to ascertain - do we get an AOR from visa office when they receive the paper file from CIO, or only when they put our file into process (security checks etc)?
