Dear Forumites,
Just wanted to get your expert advise on below.
One of my friends got PER on 30th Oct,he is July 3rd applicant, visa office NDVO.Still awaiting MR from NDVO
His consultant told him that MR from NDVO will get delayed as they are launching express entry and once express entry comes in then FSW will get only second priority? Is that true?
Looking forward for your valuable views
I don't know the truth but I am a realistic person, and it is my personal view that yes, currently all VOs must be undergoing some kind of preparations and training for EE, and I am extremely sure we will be second priority applicants. I read that "higher quality applicants" thing in CIC site, and I was extremely appalled by it. Maybe they will assess us as per EE standards — unofficially of course? And EE applicants were promised less than 6 months processing — OF COURSE we will be constantly pushed back in line.
Well, immigration is not a right, it's a privilege, so we must just humbly wait and hope for the best.
