Hi Tidelander,
Excellent tool. Thanks for all the effort.
Now that you're getting the well deserved exposure, maybe you could add a form to allow people to enter their timeline? And you can add the data points, pending your approval of course. This will bring in tons of more data points!

Also if you could make the processing time a (slow) function of time, it'd be great! Presumably, at the beginning with a smaller backlog, they'd probably have a shorter processing time.. etc etc you know best.

And if you do take the beer invitations seriously, I live in Vancouver too and would be glad to hangout and commiserate over this whole EE process, over a local microbrewed pint.

Hello

I would like to ask some few further details. I'm currently working as a nurse for more than 6 years and I already have my express entry profile. My score is a bit low for 349 points. And honestly, It's difficult to find an employer because some of them requires someone that is a resident or most of them do not reply. But, I keep on searching for potential employers everyday I wonder if I am also a registered midwife. Will this also help me to improve my score? I badly need your help, I feel like I'm in limbo.. thanks!

I just curious why people say that inland applications are processed faster ?

The (albeit limited) data does not show that.

Also, from what i read in the forums, CIC is often requesting RCMP checks for the inland applicants. This adds to the overall processing time, and for obvious reasons, it is not needed for out of country applicants.

CIC can also check the PR application of inland applicants versus their previous study or work permit, which again adds to the processing time. This again is not needed for out of country applicants, unless it is a previous resident of Canada.

So, given everything else is the same, it makes sense that inland applicants should take a bit longer.

On the plus side, being in Canada shows that one can adapt to living here, which may be a favourable point when the officer is analysing your application. It just doesn't seem to speed up the process though.

Any other thoughts on this ?

This is because the OP used the info of those outland applicants whose apps were processed at their local VO's and majority of outland apps are processed at Ottawa. I'ld therefore suggest that if you're outland with Ottawa Vo then you should select FSW inland because it's the same processing speed anyway.

i dont think your crs will change if you change your noc. maybe if you tried other programs other than ee...

as far sa job bank is concerned, there's very little success with that. as you mentioned, most of them want candidates who are already residing in canada. maybe you should try provincial nominee program or caregiver program. just read-up if you qualify or not.

I'm an outland pure FSW applicant. How do I know if my application is processes in local VO or at Ottawa?

According to the July thread, outland FSW applicants are getting DMs and PPRs while all inlanders are still waiting, so I'd say the predictions are correct.

Thank you for the input.
You see, I am a report developer. I work with finalized datasets. I have no experience in data harvesting so I don't really know what is the most efficient way to collect data. Your idea of adding a form sounds good to me. However, I do need some control over what other users will post to avoid data issues and keep the spreadsheet clean. But I do not know how to add this form. If you know how to do this could you maybe PM me and we could discuss it in more details?

Also if you could make the processing time a (slow) function of time, it'd be great! Presumably, at the beginning with a smaller backlog, they'd probably have a shorter processing time.. etc etc you know best.

I think we already have it. Take a look at General Statistics, Processing Time Distribution graph (second from the top).

And if you do take the beer invitations seriously, I live in Vancouver too and would be glad to hangout and commiserate over this whole EE process, over a local microbrewed pint.

I would like to meet other PR applicants. What attracts me is not the idea of free beer but an opportunity to complain about CIC

Eddie,
Very sound ideas and I agree that indeed there is more background to check for those who apply within Canada but at the same time these people need to get some preferences from CIC while they don't. So according to CIC logic best applicant is a person who has never been to Canada. I've been in Canada for 2 years already but I am not favored by CIC.
