Hi All,
I got invitation under province nomination program in Jan this year, and i submitted all the documents as per request in 4th March. My agent told me it only takes 3-5 months to get reply from canada immigration. However, until now. there is still no news from them. I tried to contact them to check about my status, their reply is that my application is still under review and this has been more than 6 months. Does anyone have the same situation as mine?

i got 938 points because of the province nomination 600 pointed being added
Sir, If I may ask, you got nominated with 338 points?
That's unheard of. Regardless to say, it seems like English is not your primary language. Care to explain, perhaps?

No, it's common.

How difficult was it? Can you share your experience?
To be honest, i was surprised by the speed of their reply. I don't think it is difficult as long as you submitted all the documents requested by them.

Yes, I got nominated with 338 points, and you are right English is not my native language (born in China, staying in Singapore now). I think the criteria for them to nominate anyone in the application pool is based on the working skills they are looking for. I am a IT professional, when i apply i did check on what professional skills each province is interested in. For sure, i chose the right province to apply to which is most matching with my profile.

I thought that the criteria included showing evidence of your ties to the province. That apparently is not true after all.
