yes it takes so long these days at the CIO, am sure that immigration canada will change that system soon in regard to send applications from FSW around the world to the very small immigration center in sydney nova scotia because CIO department has a lack of human resources (employees) to be able to process the huge amount of applications which they recieve form applicants around the world, because this way is not going to work properly according to the new promise of immigration canada to process FSW applications from 6 to 12 months.


I think CIO idea is just to hold the new FSW applications for a while on the CIO to give an opportunity to the local visa offices to get rid of the backlog of applications recieved previously under the name of (eligibility review )!!! because CIO is already unable to check the real eligibility for category 1 without documents, they are only able to check category 2 and 3 because both of them must send their eligibility documents such as; study, work permits, arranged employment offer approved by the HRSDC. that is it. but for category 1 it is really pointless waste of time and efforts.


CIO is a very bad idea and am sure that they are going to modify the system soon it is just a transition stage.

PMM wil have the right answer to this... dialing PMM...
