TODAY I GOT REPLY FROM MINISTER OFFICEear :

This is in reply to your correspondence dated June 2, 2011, addressed to the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, concerning the status of your application for permanent residence (APR) under the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) Program.

We appreciate your wish to become a permanent resident of Canada as soon as possible. Unfortunately, because of the lack of specific information contained in your correspondence (full name with correct spelling, date of birth, county of birth, applicable file number(s), office of application, etc; I am unable to obtain any details on your specific case.

What I can say is that, updated information on processing times can be found at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-ec.asp.

I would also like to explain that changes to immigration law in 2008 allow Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to set, through Ministerial Instructions (MI), 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 (MI-1) CIC used this new authority under immigration law to control the type of applications received, but not the number. The number of applications received exceed the ability to process them in a timely way. CIC introduced caps on June 26, 2010 on the FSW program as part of the second MI. CIC has limited the intake of new FSW applications to better match the number CIC can actually process within the annual levels plan tabled in Parliament. The third set of MI, introduced in June 2011, further adjusted the intake of economic class APRs. FSW applications under the third MI are processed on a priority basis.

Further information can be found at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/releases/2011/2011-06-24a.asp.

CIC has received enough FSW applications since February 27, 2008 to reach immigration levels for the next two years. Unfortunately, it will take longer to process those submitted under the first set of instructions (between February 27, 2008 and June 25, 2010) than originally projected. This number represents more than twice the number of projected admissions under the program in 2011.

CIC's goal is to make the immigration system more responsive to labour market needs. By giving priority to FSW applications received on or after July 1, 2011, CIC is responding to the most urgent labour market needs first. The length of time it takes to finalize an application under this program varies from one visa office to another since visa offices face different challenges. CIC continues to work towards global service standards and the use of departmental standard forms to minimize such regional variations as much as possible.

I hope that this information is of assistance.

Dear Doc ! didn't u mentioned that ur noc is still on the priority list n according to LMO we should be given priority ? regards.

 

[KDSTTL]

They don't expect MI-1 to take long time.

And they are still concerned about the delay for Pre-Feb 2008.

 

[CanadianCountry]

According to the Quarterly report (1st Jan 2011 - 31st March 2011) posted on the data.gc.ca ND CHC issued 2524 visas under FSW-C50 category in 3 months.

Total 5077 visas were issued counting all the PR categories. That brings the average number of visas issued per day to 84 visas per day! (That's quite good speed in my opinion considering there are some 20 odd visa officers at ND).

Dear Doc ! didn't u mentioned that ur noc is still on the priority list n according to LMO we should be given priority ? regards.

DEAR ALL ,
I sent them my details and following page too.
I am surprised when I see many of my colleagues get fast processing of their files who applied under same noc 3111 but under ministerial instruction -2.

If Canada is looking for fast immigration who are coming under urgent job market needs then I should also get the same priority as my collegues who are getting high priority in fast processing of their applications for the immigration and my file still showing pending review because I am under MI-1 Category.

In order to get early high priority I reapplied again with full new set of documents and processing fees by DHL COURIER(tracking number-5396102832).

DHL courier delivered my package of application to CIO on 10 june 2011 signed for by GLEN.CIO websites was showing cap of 976 for occupation Noc code -3111on 21 june2011.

Unfortunately my application package was returned back to me reason being mentioned of cap of 1000 reached in Noc -3111 occupation .

I am thinking to reapply again under post july 2011 ,MI-3 instruction.

Should I reapply again or wait till my pending file moveahead for processing? Why there is so much difference in processing times inspite of having same occupation and same urgent labour market needs?

My occupation exists in both urgent market priority lists released on june2010 under MI-2 and july2011 under MI-3.

I hope you can understand my problem and advise accordingly.

Please kindly judge equally and oblige.

Awaiting for your positive response

2011 Plan target ranges for permanent residence VISA for Canada is 1,50,600 to 1,61,300. Visa target for Economic Class (Old applicant, 38 Category MI1, 29 Category MI2, Business Class, Canadian Experience Class and Live-in Caregiver) are 74,000 to 80,400(Max). In this target principal applicant, spouses and all dependants are included. It means if there are four members in your application, four numbers of visas will issue. In the first quarter (Jan to Mar) of 2011 they issued 31,127 Visas Globally. So now after the first quarter they had 42,873 visas were in their pocket. After then second quarter (April to June) was also finished on 30th June. And other two quarters (Jul to Sep & Oct to Dec) are still waiting. So they have to play for 9 months with around 43,000 visas between around 80 CHC of the world. In between all these number games they are giving priority to 29 Category’s applicants whose NOC’s are in demand in labor market of Canada. From 38 Category applications they are working on the application received between Jan 2010 to Mar 2010 currently. And also giving importance to the applicant who gain the point from relatives in Canada. Total 1,44,000 people (38 Category) are still waiting for their turn. This year’s target for PR VISA (Both 38 & 29 Category) for ND CHC is 7500. So now there is a little hope for old applicant (pre Feb 2008) and applicant of 38 Category for the fast process on their PR file. So it’s very very long waiting for entire us 38 Category’s Pre June 2010 applicant to see the Maple Leaf on our passport.

I am not trying to create negative atmosphere but trying to show you the real picture of Canada’s current policy on applications belongs to 38 categories.

I am supporting Taraks statement that we 38 category applicant have to wait long for our PR Visa.

Best of Luck to everyone......

i dont think dependents are counted in targets

 

[sunnyslietian]

I completed 15 months from doc submission

have u sent case sp inqury ??

 

[Can4131]

i dont think dependents are counted in targets

They are counting Spouse and Dependents in their VISA target. They are not counting one VISA for one FILE, they are counting VISA as per no. of persons in the file. That's y we are waiting for VISA since long time.

can u plz give any link on this?

 

[migrating2ca]

They consider 1 applicant would have 1.5 dependents as an average.

So, for New Delhi if total visas are 7500 then 3000 actual applications.
