CEC timeline.. applied in july 2010. pls share yours...

[hbic]

hi to everyone,

i need to know what's the next step... pls...

applied: jul 14, 2010
AOR: dec 7, 2010
file transfer: apr 5, 2011

i received an email from immigration when they transfered my papers to new york VO saying, "pls don't request for your status within 90 days." so from apr 5th, it means july 5th would be the 90th day. i haven't heard anything yet, do i have to email the new york VO and ask for status, or do i have to wait for their update? i need my passport to be renewed for my work permit renewal. so i'm hesitant to renew my passport that will take 2 months or just wait for the VO update. i need some advise plss...

You will eventually receive a letter from NY. They sent mine by snail mail in the middle of the postal strike. You could hear something this month.

I did it last October, when there was a minute hope that processing would be completed by the end of the year... Mind you, it took me 6 weeks to get an appointment, and another 3 weeks for them to send the results to Ottawa...

 

[asifS]

I am referring to the date which was on the letter. I received the letter 2 weeks after that due to the postal strike

My brother who applied on July 26th 2010 received his medical request 1 day before me but his letter dated June 2nd 2011

First of all, congratulations man. I remember when you were talking about withdrawing your FSW application and applying for the the CEC, and you are now done. Actually your doctor appointment has drawn my attention, as it took you 6 weeks ! I think I was lucky enough to get my appointment immediatly the day after I received my medical request by mail. Then it took them two weeks to send it to Ottawa.


Wish you the best of luck in your new life in Canada.

Thanks Prof1 - good memory! it's not in the hand yet... But it's feeling very good...

Yes, it actually was a 6-week wait for an appointment... I'm sure I could've gotten it done more quickly if I had wanted to travel to Toronto, but since I did it "in advance" I could afford to wait ...

Thanks for the kind words, Yaju. Qorax is indeed a great role model! As for my FSW application... I applied in May 2009 (FSW3) - would have been earlier, but they changed all the rules in February 2009 just as I was putting together my application... By the time I got my AOR in July, I realized that I had missed one of the rule changes regarding proof of funds, and wouldn't be able to qualify under the new rules. So I withdrew before submitting full documents (to get the refund), knowing I would qualify soon enough under CEC.

You can withdraw your application any time, but if your file is in Seattle, have you already received your initial assessment? If so, you can no longer receive a refund of application fees (if that is a concern).

But there is no need withdraw your FSW application, you can have 2 applications processing at the same time, no problem. When one is ready for finalization, you will be asked to withdraw the other. I would suggest that you not withdraw your FSW application, you never know, some 2008's are getting approved now...

I am planning to apply under CEC as my application in skilled worker class has been there for 2 years and nthng positive.
Thanks
