Your idea of an informal volunteer group is wonderful in my opinion, some people literally don't know anyone when they land, like us... I certainly look forward to meeting you in Canada, as for the Toronto/Vancouver debate, it comes down to more jobs vs warmer weather... the debate still goes on in my household :) Let's see if they give us a visa to begin with...

Cam
You will get your Visas my friend. The Buffalo just needs to be nudged a bit more perhaps. Cheers.

Members of Parliament remain locked in debate early Friday over legislation that would send Canada Post employees back to work and end a lockout.

MPs were to supposed to leave Ottawa on Thursday to head home for the summer, but instead pulled overnight shifts in the House of Commons debating Bill C-6, which was introduced earlier in the week.

Opposition MPs made lengthy speeches throughout the night designed to delay passage of the bill. As a new day began Friday, members continued to take turns filling their seats in the House.

But the number of <J2010 applications is easily handable within the visa processing year - unlike the <J2010 applications of which they have 144,000 and don't have the resource to process all of these.

If they cancel the entire backlog (which I believe if you include pre-Feb-2008 is around 300,000) at around $1200 average processing fee - this means they would have to give refunds in the region of $360 million.

Please also remember they cannot afford to simply blast through 300,000 applications for pre-June-2010 even if they had the resource to do so, since this would flood the Canadian job market with many applicants whose occupations are no longer in demand.

So IMO the only way forward is to ensure that a third backlog is not created (this should now be easily achievable with the capping system) by keeping on top of >J2010 and >J2011 - and processing pre-June-2010 gently into the system over a few years. This is why pre-June-2010 have been told it may take 2 years or more to process their applications.

So whereas I think CIC have been stupid in allowing 400,000+ applications in for Feb2008 to June2010 without controlling the intake numbers - having made that mistake, I can't see any way round the current situation other than to keep doing what they're doing with regards longer term strategy.

Shorter term - they need to seriously improve communication and look at the disparity between visa offices.

Makes sense bro :) hope it moves in the same manner!

Thanks you are really such a logical person +1 ;D. I guess sometimes we get carried with the feelings of anger/frustration at the disparities in processing of application that we dont even want to think about the logic of what will happen in July.

Let's look at this logically.

<J2010 were eventually put into the "backlog" only after 6+ months of the new rules, and that was mainly because there were 144,000 of them left to process - CIC having not had the foresight to control the number of applications between Feb 2008 and June 2010.

CIC have had less than 14,000 total applications for FSW1 >J2010 - that's less than 10% of the total that were still outstanding for <J2010 when they were put in the backlog.

So in short, CIC have a lot less >J2010 applications to worry about - and from that and a PR point of view it would be political suicide to create a third backlog, having created a second backlog with <J2010 when they promised they wouldn't.

Also bare in mind it will be at least 2 months before the first >J2011 applications filter through to the visa offices - maybe more, by which time quite a lot of >J2010 will already have their visas.

So my guess is that they will continue to process >J2010 as a priority until the >J2011 applications come in, and then they will probably treat >J2010 and >J2011 as the same priority.

I am only guessing of course - but attempting to inject some logic into it! :)

Wayne.

One of my friends who applied in August and sent his passports in March still awaits visa like us. He has a situation - his wife who is a Mtkg Manager has to travel on an overseas assignment between 22nd-24th July. He is baffled over certain options. Hope senior people here like Wayne and others can help.

1. Should he send couple of case specific queries/fax etc.?

2. If those queries aint answered, should he make a trip to CHC ND with his wife and kid?

3. If he goes there should he also prepare himself for an interview and be ready with all the required documents; academic/professional etc?

Many thanks in anticipation folks.
Cheers!

Wayne and others members, can you please advice me on one issue –

My husband, the PA, applied under NOC7265, he is a metallurgical engineer, was working under this qualification for the past 10 yrs, couple years ago he obtained Masters in IT, and very recently completely change his career to Software Developer, at the time of application to we didn't put any note of his intention to work as Software Developer. Now he got a new job completely different from his NOC.

Do you think we should notify LVO of his new employer? I just think this might confuse and slow down the case, they might say, ok this guy applied as 7265 and currently working as Software Developer, which is not on the list at all, surely he is not going to work in Canada as Welder/Machine Operators.

What do you think?

Thanks very much everybody

No matter what he is working now. Only he must have at least one year experience in one of the listed occupations and performed the duties as stated in Noc website.

Any one who has paid Right of Permanent residence fee, will like to guide me that is there any form which is also filled and submitted along with bank draft like "Fee Payment Form" which is filled at the time of submitting bank draft for initial application processing fee, or I shall just have to submit just copy of bank draft as an evidence for payment of Right of Permanent residence fee to Visa office.

Thanks,
Akrum 66

The following webpage says "Note: Complete the Fee Payment Form – Application for Permanent Residence – Federal Skilled Worker Class (IMM 5620) and include it with your application to the CIO."... "Each application from a principal applicant must include a fee payment form. This form must include the fees for the principal applicant and any accompanying family members."

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EG75.asp

However, the form IMM 5620 has pre-written amount that is for the initial application fee (for CIO Sydney NS).

http://www.cic.gc.ca/EnGLIsh/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5620E.pdf

So, this form can not be used for payment for RPRF. Which form should I use to send along with the Bank Draft?


Thanks,
Akrum 66

It doesn't matter what your husband is doing now; what matters is that he should have had at least 1 year's experience in the NOC 7265 in the last 10 years. CIC has mandated that you keep them apprised of any major change such as job, residence, etc. I do not think it is wise to conceal this. This of course is my personal opinion.
