Hi everyone. I just joined the forum though used to follow different threads all the time as a guest. My ecas status also shows the same..."Decision Made- a letter has been sent on Sep 11............" though I'm totally confused how they can make a decision without receiving my medical reports. I received my second AOR in Oct '10. Until last month there was no progress in my status from 'application received'. Suddenly I checked & found today that status has been changed. Pls lemme know of any updates that you may get by.

Don't worry . Its a technical glitch.
 
the current processing time for pre june is 16 months, my case almost we are in 12 months , but still the file is not even in in process? how they will maintain the time.

they have increase the time of processing thrice, now what ? it is confusing....they should stop talking any new file ? to clear the backlog.

Its a matter of hope NGE has got MR yesterday who is contemporary to us. Let's see what happen. I hope there might be some positive steps in October, Nov and Dec....
 
I'd say let us see when NGE gets his PPR as I have seen people waiting for years after getting their medicals done.

good one, so far. +1 bhaiya for sharing.
 
Immigration Minister Jason Kenney appeared before a House of Commons committee on Oct. 20 to discuss immigration backlogs. (Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press)
Canada needs to accept fewer applications from people wanting to live here, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney says, and he's eyeing the family class for cuts.

Canada is facing too big a backlog and, despite accepting 254,000 applications every year, there are one million people who are waiting to hear whether they can move to Canada, the citizenship and immigration minister said Thursday.

Canada gets about 420,000 applications every year and refuses about 10 per cent of those.

Speaking to the House committee on citizenship and immigration, Kenney said processing applications faster won't fix the backlog problem. And it isn't possible to accept enough people to deal with it either.

The only options, he said, are to vastly increase acceptances, or take fewer applications and keep processing the ones already received.

"Those are the only two possible solutions. It's a math problem," Kenney told reporters after the committee meeting.
Cut family class applications

Kenney pointed to the family class, under which parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens can immigrate. His department received 37,500 applications in 2010 but admits 18,500. Right now, there's a 10-year wait time for processing.

"Merely for us just to tread water, we would have to double the number of people coming into that program ... and that wouldn't even reduce the backlog," he said.

Kenney said other countries require a minimal family income, private health insurance or a bond to limit parent and grandparent applications.

Immigration lawyer Richard Kurland said Kenney's right to suggest a cap on the parents and grandparents category.

"Unless you solve the intake problem, you're going to have a growing backlog with growing processing times and it's time to bite the bullet," he told reporters after the committee meeting.

Kurland said a 20,000 cap is appropriate, and that the government should break the applicants into categories.

"Bring in as priority one the single parents overseas. Priority two is you bring in parents where the families can pony up $75,000 up front to defray medicare costs, either with permanent resident visa on payment or [for $75,000] give that family a 10-year visitor visa to Canada and that way they can be here waiting until their number comes up in the immigration inventory overseas."

Speaking to Rosemary Barton on CBC's Power & Politics, Kenney called the $75,000 payment "a very interesting idea."

"I've heard similar ideas about asking people to share in a greater portion of the social and health-care costs. And maybe that's one practical way of bringing more fairness while limiting the number of new applications so we can avoid the big backlogs. That's a very valid idea," he said.

The Conservative government and previous Liberal governments averaged about 18,000 parent and grandparent entrants a year, he added.

Kenney says the department is launching consultations on cutting the backlog.

NDP immigration critic Don Davies said reducing parent and grandparent applications is the wrong way to go.

"What I object to the most is the minister has come into this so-called study, these meetings, with a preconceived conclusion. The only policy tool that he's looking at is capping applications. Well, that's not the only policy tool available to the minister," Davies said.

He wants Canada to accept another 100,000 immigrants every year, arguing a per capita measurement doesn't make sense because the country has so much space
 
so CIC is planning to increase the IELTS score for the new applicant.

HEy! do you all think , they are going to keep the 10000 cap for 2012?

Dear Teaspoon and deba_avik bhai,

Well, NGE's case is a little different in the sense that, some months ago CIC representative physically visited NGE's workplace for some of his predecessor's application verification. CIC was highly satisfied with their workplace and cases and I think, they took NGE's case for granted - No doubt, NGE's case is definitely well worth in terms of merit. All NGE's predecessors got visa accept one. The one that did not get visa is my friend.

Please do not dig any more and trust what is written here.

We do dua for NGE for smooth sailing through the process of immigration to Canada, and expect that, In Sha Allah, our turn will also come...

Best Regards,

INDIANAJONES.

SUBJECT : CANADA INTRODUCES SUPER VISA FOR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS OF IMMIGRANTS.

COURTESY TO Dr.HASIB, I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE ONE OF HIS POST IN ANOTHER THREAD HERE :

FAQ:Who is eligible for a Parent and Grandparent Super Visa? What do they need to do to qualify for it?

Parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents who have been found admissible to Canada and meet some other conditions are eligible for the Super Visa.

Visa officers consider several factors before deciding if the person is admissible. This means they are a genuine visitor to Canada who will leave by choice at the end of their visit. Among the things that could be considered are:

•the person's ties to the home country,
•the purpose of the visit,
•the person's family and financial situation,
•the overall economic and political stability of the home country, and
•invitations from Canadian hosts.
In addition to being found admissible to Canada, the parent/grandparent must also:

•provide a written commitment of financial support from their child or grandchild in Canada who meets a minimum income threshold,
•prove that they have bought Canadian medical insurance for at least one year to cover the period of time that they will be in Canada, and
•complete an Immigration Medical Examination (IME).
