BUFFALO APPLICANTS - File transferred to other VO due to Buffalo closing down

[sharuu]

how do you know its the fiscal year they follow?

Exactly..We dont know their fiscal year. Some say its from April some say its January!

I personally dont think it can be quota system as per nationalities. I think it might occur by province, for instance if Alberta is growing more PRs over there, that seems logical. But, my country I have my reservations!

I have seen it somewhere in this forum. But you are right, I can't say that its a fact. Its a guess.

I see..

hmmm well no one can be certain but definitely a quota system does make sense for CIC. From what I understand, their policy is to have multiculturalism rather than couple of nationalities dominating the immigration applications. Just a thought to keep this factor in mind as well. Its not on the website in so many words but it might be an internal process.

Regardless of this, good luck to everyone. Sooner or later, good news will come ;D

Well i don't think either there is quota per nationalities, however i know US has such policy in their immigration system. Yes, as far as i know they have quota per each province and that quota changes every year. Sharru if you don't mind whats your country of origin??

just out of curiosity, you just mentioned the "quota by province"-thing, and, i've seen now that canada has for every province its own PR/FSW rules as well, is it in the US the same?

I have heard from my friend in US it's "quota by nationality".

Pls see the attached link. Its quoted "The processing times for the Canadian Experience Class and Live-in Caregiver Class are based on how long it took to process 80 percent of all cases between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012. Processing times are subject to change."

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-ec.asp

That's why I think it was guessed as July to June. Still its not a fact.

I think you are mixing two different things. CIC has a budget, also how many workers it can allow to immigrate. That is what a fiscal year means, and we dont know when that year starts. The link you said to me is just providing us with a timeline of the most recent applicants, this is not based on the fiscal year but just provides us with the most updated processing timelines.

I do not know when the fiscal year starts, it actually could just be from July to June which you mentioning, but not because of the reason you are mentioning. But, I do remember somewhere I think it starts in April.

Just my two cents

;D you deserve it man......

one interesting observation from Ottawa....

Someone I know applied after 1.5 months of my application to buffalo. she also got the AOR + meds from CPP-Ottawa after 1.5 months of me and again went in process round about 1 month after me.....once it went to in process the visa officer asked for some documents....exactly same day as it went to in process....she has sent them now but no reply yet.


anyways, point is that, if its CPP-Ottawa, then in process really means some visa officer is assigned who checks all the documents. now the question is, does he initiate bg checks at that time? or once they are complete, then a visa officer is assigned.

for Buffalo, pretty much at the end of everything, VO was assigned and in process appeared. then shortly after that PPR.

LOL.. Havent I been saying the same thing since the starting? Background checks are started once AOR is issued actually, The reason she went IN PROCESS is because only thing that might be left are those documents.. For Buffalo those who went In Process late, it just mean PPR is around the corner.
