HI everyone, I've sent my application and they received it on May 8, still have not heard anything, there are no charges on my CC, I don't know what to think.... how long can it take for them to process it??? can they have returned the package and got lost in the mail??? in any case there's no one to contact... what do you guys think?

Too early to worry. May 8 applications are just barely beginning to be charged. Many May 7 still outstanding.

Immigration Processing Times Appear to be Decreasing

Over the past few years, the Government of Canada has expressed its intention to bring immigration processing times down to approximately 12 months or less. Recently, it appears as though the government has begun to deliver on its promises.

According to Attorney David Cohen, of the Canadian immigration law firm Campbell Cohen, some clients who applied to the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) program in summer 2013 are now receiving passport requests. A passport request is the final step in the process of obtaining Canadian Permanent Residency.
“It is exciting to see that processing times are beginning to decrease to under a year,” said Attorney Cohen. “Shortening the timeframe for application processing means that Canada gets the workers it needs in a timely fashion, and applicants are assessed within a reasonable timeframe that allows them to plan for their futures.”

It does seem to be true, but only for a few visa offices. Most visa offices are still trying to clear backlogs from years ago and they will probably take longer to process applications than expected. But some other visa offices like CPC-Ottawa and NDVO have already shown last year and again now that they are on with this new faster processing timeline.

Well that's true but still an year is a long time...but mind you Singapore VO's have special techniques to delay the process... ;D ;D ;D ;D what say Oscar?

The question is if in case fds are given.. Can they still ask for a bank statement?

 

[harka007]

yes of course...they want to make sure that you are not manipulating and fooling them...they just want to make sure that the funds are yours and not borrowed

The question is if in case fds are given.. Can they still ask for a bank statement?

Having an FD in a bank doesn't mean that you have a bank account in the same bank.

I have worked with hdfc

Yes, they can but should not. If I have shown FD as my only settlement fund, they should ask for only FD's status.
