Dear Sir/Madam,
This is in response to your recent email enquiry to the Immigration
Section of the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi.
An Acknowledgement of Receipt letter was sent to you after your
application was received by our office. Your application is currently
in a queue awaiting initial review.
Unless we have specifically asked you to do so, you are not required to
submit any documentation at this time. Our office will contact you to
provide the required supporting documentation for the assessment of your
application.
If you applied as a Federal Skilled Worker on or after 27 February 2008
and before 26 June 2010, your application will take two years or more to
be processed.
Unfortunately, it will take longer to process federal skilled worker
applications submitted under the first set of instructions (between 27
February 2008 and 25 June 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. As a
result, applicants will wait two years or more to be processed.
If you wish to withdraw your application, you may be eligible for a
refund of your processing fees.
Applications in the Skilled Worker category are processed in order of
receipt. Your application forms and fees guarantee your place in the
processing queue. 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. As we are not yet ready to review
your file, you are not required send any documents in support of your
application. Since your application is still within normal processing
times, we are not able to provide any status updates on your file. When
we are ready to review your file, we will send a document request letter
to you using the contact information we have on your file. That letter
will list all documents required to continue processing your
application.
Until we contact you, the only information
