Anil, I have checked my online status, and as expected it says; In Process, interestingly it also mentioned my old application(I had applied in 2007). It says, we have started processing your application on xxxx, 2007. I guess I would be requested to withdraw one of the applications at a later stage.
Please update my status on the spreadsheet( cc: Wayne, Amro and Indira ) thanks ALL.

Bros,
pls don't withdraw it yourself unless they ask you to. I advise that you hold on for some time and see how the new one is going.
I thought it was done in your wife's name like ours.
Best wishes.

Hundreds urge to restore funding to immigration settlement agencies in Toronto


Canada, 31st January: A large number of immigrants are urging the Canadian government to undo the funding cuts for immigration settlement agencies in Toronto.

Toronto Liberal MPs joined the immigrants in asking feds to reinstate funding for settlement agencies in GTA by launching a campaign named ‘The Fair Start’ Thursday.And around 500 protestors gathered on Toronto City Hall for launching the campaign ‘Rewind the Cuts’.

Funding to the tune of around $22 million will be withdrawn from various settlement programs in Toronto and these federal cuts are nearly 50 percent of the $43 million cuts in federal funding throughout Ontario.

This step will result in loss of jobs for around 1,000 people within the GTA and will make it impossible for around 10,300 new immigrants receiving immigration and settlement services.

The share of Toronto’s funding will be reduced to $118 million from $140 million. This is an attack on Toronto, not just on the South Asian Women’s Center, stated Kripa Sekhar, executive director of the agency in Toronto.

This agency will lose around $570,000 funding from federal government and will have no option but to close down.

Come April 1, 2011 and around 33 organizations of Ontario involved in providing employment, language and integration services to newcomers and immigrants will face closures.

It may be noted that the Canada immigration department had announced way back in December last year that funding for around a dozen immigration settlement agencies in Toronto will not be restored by the federal government.

MP Gerard Kennedy stated that immigrants including newcomers will not be provided immigration settlement services by agencies. Kennedy added that Toronto is seeing a cut in federal funding when the rate of joblessness and immigration is going up.

Simon Zhong, who is among several workers of Toronto settlement agencies involved in helping immigrants and newcomers and facing closure due to funding cuts voiced his frustration against the issue.

Around 300 protestors including Zhong urged Jason Kenney, the Canada immigration minister to undo $53 million federal cuts. Nawang Choedon, a Tibetan monk stated that such a move will be a big blow for hundreds of young immigrants receiving immigration settlement services.

Me thinks this was published awhile back.

The difference here might be that one's for those applying through the Nova Scotia VO and the rest for those applying from outside Canada.

If my interpretation is wrong ..... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I imagine it will mention both applications until you either withdraw one or a decision is made on one.

Shalom1, yes it was done in her name, but because I am the one personally active on this forum, I always refer to myself as the applicant. Both applications were in her name.
For sure, we are not going to withdraw the old application, until we are asked to do so. Usually the VO would ask you at a later stage to withdraw one of the applications, and that is usually when they are set to issue the PR.
Thanks for your concern Bro. Greetings to your family.
 
Hi guys.

We got a rather unexciting reply from London CHC regarding my change of company name:

"Thank you for your correspondence.

We have noted the content of your email and have made a note on file and it will be reviewed by the immigration officer."

Whether they will send any further correspondence to us or simply dump a note on their file we don't know. What I found interesting is that below this they listed our details. At the top it says "Protected B". Could this indicate what the "B" means in the application number? Some people have an "E" at the start of theirs.

PROTECTED B

Title: XXX
Name of Applicant: XXX
DOB of Applicant: XXXXXX/XX/XXX
Nationality: XXX
File Number or Client ID Number: XXX

So this mean that they receive the file or not ??? and about the Protected B what that should mean

Amro
 
Hi Wayne,
That looks like standard reply from Visa Office

I still cant get the difference between E and B files, the most applicants have B, but not so many of E (like mine and Cur Rozen....) and we still not able to access our file on line :(

Can we add another column to our tracker spreadsheet "First letter of the file" this might help to see the difference
