- Your application and supporting documents were received by the London England office. They are pending review.

- We transferred your application to the London England office on February 11, 2010. The London England office may contact you.

Reply From CHC:


Dear Sir/Madam,
This is in response to your enquiry. Please note we are in the process of returning your documents.
For Federal Skilled Worker applicants who applied before February 27, 2008.
We have received enough Federal Skilled Worker applications since February 27, 2008 to reach our immigration levels for the next two years. Because they reflect Canada's current labour market needs, applications under the most recent set of ministerial instructions are processed on a priority basis. Therefore, few Federal Skilled Worker applications received before February 27, 2008 will be processed this year or next.
The exception is the small number of cases where federal skilled worker applicants have already received instructions to undergo their medical examinations. These applicants should receive a final decision within 12 months of completing their medical examination.
The Action Plan for Faster Immigration has helped reduce application backlogs and wait times. Before the Action Plan was introduced, Canada had a backlog of over 640,000 people in the federal skilled worker category waiting as long as six years to be processed. In just three years, we've been able to get more than 300,000 people out of the lineup - that's close to half those who were waiting.
When a Federal Skilled Worker application is due for assessment, our office will send a letter asking the applicant to submit updated information in support of the application. This new information will be reviewed by an immigration officer who will determine if you meet the requirements for immigration.
Please wait until you receive this letter before providing any new information relating to changes in your personal circumstances, additional dependents, new employment, education or new identity documents.
Our office sends immigration decisions and information requests by post or by email to the mailing and email addresses provided in the application. Therefore, it is important that our office be notified immediately of any change of address and contact details.
We thank you for your patience and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Sir/Madam,

This is in response to your enquiry.

Unfortunately, it will take longer to process Federal Skilled Worker applications submitted under the first set of instructions (between February 27, 2008 and June 25, 2010) than originally projected.

During this time, the department received applications for more than 425,000 people, and 144,000 of these have not yet received a decision.

This number represents more than twice the number of projected admissions under the Federal Skilled Worker program in 2011, so many of these applicants will have to wait two years or more to be processed. Because they reflect Canada's current labour market needs, applications under the most recent set of ministerial instructions are processed on a priority basis.

Our office sends immigration decisions and information requests by post or by email to the mailing and email addresses provided in the application. Therefore, it is important that our office be notified immediately of any change of address and contact details.

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the processing timeline of your Federal Skilled Worker application under the Ministerial Instructions 1.

The following information may be useful to you in explaining processing times.

Changes to immigration law in 2008 allow us to set, through ministerial instructions, the number and type of applications considered for processing each year, and the order in which these applications will be processed.

Under the first set of instructions Citizenship and Immigration (CIC) used our new authority under immigration law to control the type of applications received, but not the number. We learned that wasn't sufficient. With so much competition and interest in immigrating to Canada, applicants, and sometimes consultants, look for ways to fit applications into the eligibility criteria in effect at the time. Therefore, before we introduced a cap on the federal skilled worker program as part of the second set of ministerial instructions, the number of applications we received exceeded our ability to process them in a timely way.

Your application was submitted under the first set of instructions and unfortunately it will take longer to process federal skilled worker applications submitted under these instructions, those received between February 27, 2008 and June 25, 2010. During this time, the department received applications for more than 425,000 people, and 144,000 of these have not yet received a decision.

This number represents more than twice the number of projected admissions under the federal skilled worker program in 2011, so many of these applicants will have to wait two years or more to be processed.

The length of time it takes to finalize an application varies from one visa office to another since visa offices face different challenges operating in different countries, regions and even in different offices within the same region. Factors which can influence why processing may take longer from one visa office to another include the number of applications received, particularly if there is an existing inventory which has to be processed; resources in a given office; a higher need for medical and security screening; poor to no communication via phone or mail, the safety and security of staff, as well as emergency situations or crises that affect workload and priorities.

CIC continues to work towards global service standards and the use of departmental standard forms to minimize such regional variations as much as possible.

Trusting this information is of some assistance to you

i got reply from london

Thank you for your enquiry.



Your documents are now on file.



CIC is working closely to manage arrivals in Canada, so that we meet, but do not exceed the immigration plan set by Parliament last fall for 2011. Since we have larger inventories of applications than limits within the immigration plan for admissions to Canada, we must process applications according to the priorities set by Parliament. As we have a sufficient number of applications in our high priority categories, we are not in a position to process your application at this time, nor can we predict when processing on your application will resume.



Yours sincerely,



Client Service Unit

Hi, Appl to CIO April 2010 , 1st Aor June 2010 , Full Documents to ND VO Oct 2010, 2nd AOR Nov 2010 .

My status turned from application received to DM last week. I sent a case specific enquiry. They have replied a week later !!
although, it is a general email, which others have posted about the delay in processing, I would like to bring these two lines to attention

'If you applied as a Federal Skilled Worker on or after 27 February 2008 and before 26 June 2010, your application is not likely to be processed in 2012"

So, the DM a bug is the good news, bad news is , a longer wait !! but I do hope, things will start moving with InProcess from Sep-Oct 2012...

Time to hibernate now...A few of the users are creating a panic by posting false opinions of a confirmed DM, verification calls etc...so guys chill...


Ps. The last paragraph also says
Processing times to finalization may vary depending on the number of new applications received and the individual complexity of each application. For actual processing times of permanent resident applications in New Delhi for the last 12 months, please refer to the CIC website at:

So , the two years wait could be a general one and not visa office specific. Like how the Manila office is working faster, New Delhi could too...but nothing until other half of 2012 in my opinion....

It also says

Your file is being processed in accordance with its place in the queue, based on the date on which the application and fee payment were received in our office

Fees was sent to CIO, does it mean, they are processing by fees payment date and 1st AOR ??

Also, the email is from section-2 of immigration dept , CHC ND

Finally, they are sure to ask for updated forms, POF , reference letters etc etc before processing

I think you are right friend. In response to my CSQ, I got a reply from CHC ND that they won't be able to process my case in 2012. I don't that will be the case because many of pre-june applicants who submitted documents in 2Q of 2010 are getting medicals (specially from Manila). So, we can expect MR/further document request somewhere in 1Q of 2012.
