Hey Baba123sai1: I was just gonna ask the same question posted by Piggie. It makes no sense for CIC to request passports of March applicants when the whole of feb is waiting. Was that March applicant inland or outland?

That must be Canadian experience class applicants. They have faster processing I think. Correct me if I am wrong. ???

Sigh... Didn't we all fall for the trap of being a provincial nominee as we thought it is the "fastest" stream.
Yes we did :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

for me, PNP is still faster since I would have submitted my application this May if I submitted under CEC and that makes me 2014 May applicant ;)

Hi,

If EOI comes out next year, does it effect our processing?

Technically, it shouldn't going by this info on the CIC website. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=869&t=6
But I have a feeling our delays in getting a PPR is probably due to implementation of Express Entry. Maybe they are training staff and updating equipment to gear up for the launch of EE. Just my two cents.

but CEC peoples are getting tons of PPR... as far as I know PNP only takes a "portion" in express entry unlike CEC.. so I dont think they have big impact

Good point Diaboluce. Also PNP processing should be much faster than CEC as CIC doesn't have to bother about making sure applicants have worked a certain job, under a certain permit for a certain time. The nomination certificate should be enough. I still can't figure out why is CIC so slow all of a sudden?

I totally agree with that point. Nomination proves that we have economical stability/eligibility to live in the province. What I am thinking is they want to catch up the numbers for other stream (just like FSW July/August/September delay) because they don't have enough number of new PR for this year under other stream and it takes more time for them to review. So PNPs are easier job for them to do and they think they can rush it out till the delay allows them to work on other streams? (rough guesses...)

In addition, since they have given IP for Feb/March, I think they intend to finish those files in this year it kinda explains how april applicants are not getting IP yet.. they should have received it by October.

So I think something's gonna happen in November for sure like big batch out of PPR just like two month ago..

It is been 64 days past since my application turned IP and I am sure lots of people here as well waiting more than two months..

yeah mine's also reaching 2month by next week and I believe it doesn't usually take this long unless the specific application just takes more job to do.
I believe they are obviously holding us back since it doesn't make sense most of FEB/MARCH application takes more than 2 months to process.
(meanwhile CEC march applicants are getting big PPR batch out yesterday and CEC Feb applicants were getting it last week)

let's hope to see some changes in next 2 weeks..

This is quite very unusual....applications staying in IP for over 3 months. But then again most PNP PR applications are completed approximately 10 months from the date application was received. So am hopeful Feb application is completing this Nov... March applications next month, Dec.
