FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[javoo]

It is mentioned "Federal Skilled Workers, Federal Skilled Trades and Canadian Experience Class : Express Entry

Start-up visa, Self-employed persons and Provincial nominees: London

All other applications: Abu Dhabi"
which means that FSWP and EE will be processed at LVO and other applications will be at ADVO

I beg to differ on your opinion.

For self employed, start up visas its London. However only if one is applying via PNP then the file is allocated at LVO. Rest applications, namely FSW (which is under Express entry route) FST and CEC would be processed via Abu dhabi office only to facilitate quick turn around time (6 months or less)

It doens´t matter. When a file is received at CIO is stamped with the date in red and that´s the date considered when opening the application.
I said red because my returned file last year was in that color.

u r right friend but then what reason can u make for saying that they received it after a gap of 40 days?

Hey buddy!
My query was abt "DECISION MADE" and PPR which comes post "Medicals received"...
My Medicals were done way before in Sep.

And I don't think ur statement, "If u did not get Medicals and Decision Made means.... Rejection..." is true. If I'm not wrong, There wont be ECAS status update at all in first place without "Medicals".
Request you to pls be sure with accuracy in ur responses. Any half-knowledged/false response would get the forumites more worried n tensed.

Dude... sorry I was about to quote a different post and ended up writing as reply to ur post.... its just a pure mistake.... And when u see answer is not for ur question ignore it,,... stop writing half full knowledge blabla... ppl are here to help others

u know ur case and how can u think that I am writing to u about rejection use brain before u post back... instead u could have written 'I think this REPLY IS NOT FOR ME, PLEASE REWRITE IT TO THE RIGHT PERSON'

THINK BEFORE U WRITE CRAP AND DO NOT MAKE OTHERS TO BEHAVE IMPOLITELY... GUD DAY

Just visit the following recently updated link of LVO:-

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/missions/london.asp

You can notice that they have categorically and clearly mentioned in their latest update on their page on 1st Jan 2015 :-

"Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Yemen, for Self-employed and Start-up visa only

Pakistan, for Self-employed, Start-up visa, Quebec-selected skilled worker, PNP and family sponsorship applications"

So, LVO will not process FSW applications for the residents/nationals of the above countries mentioned in blue color.
FSW applications for rsidents/nationals of "Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Yemen" will be processed at Abu Dhabi Visa Ofifce (ADVO).
FSW applications of Nationals/Residents of Pakistan will be processed Islamabad Visa office (IVO).

Again request seniors, what is their opinion about this and about my previous post.

Boss it also says FSW EE, that means FSW 2014 might still be processed by LVO. We shall not get confused between EE and FSW2014 as all info on CIC now is all abt EE not FSW 14

PLEASE HELP !!

I am 7 May 2014 Applicant. I submitted the PCC and FBI reports for me and my family on December 18 2014. I am now waiting for the Passport Request. I stay in New Jersey, USA.

Can anybody tell approximately how long would it take to receive the PPR?

After receiving the PPR, can I personally go and get the passports stamped?

I was generally browsing the Internet and I found out that the Canadian Consulate at Buffalo has been closed and is now shifted to New York. Is this information true?

Anybody who is in a similar situation like me?

I have always received guidance from the forum members and I am very much thankful to this forum from the bottom of my heart.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Canol / Diplomatru or any other senior availabe on at the moment,

Could you please put your comments on my below understanding about the big change that CIC have done regarding FSW vsia processing centres around the globe. Previously the FSW applications of all the applicants from Middle East countries like Qatar,Bahrain and similarly applicants from Pakistan were being processed at London visa office. But with the latest update by CIC of their website, i have noticed that London is no longer going to process the cases of FSW from Middle East residents/nationals or Pakistani Nationals.

Please see below link:-

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/missions/london.asp


With the start of new year number of visa offices processing FSWP applications have increased dramatically. CIC have included several countries in their list of FSW applications processing Visa offices assigned with FSWP applications processing. Even CIC have re-started the processing of FSW applications at several Visa Offices in several countries of the world. For example Abu Dhabi and Islamabad were discontinued in the past for processing of FSW applications and all the applicants from Middle East and Pakistan were routed to London Visa office. But now it seems that they have re-started processing of FSW applications at these two visa offices and along with these two visa offices several other visa offices around the world have been included the list of visa offices processing FSW applications. I think that the reason could be to speed up the processing. Because for Express Entry CIC have been advertising that they will try to take decision within 6-months of less for Express Entry selected applicants. Therefore to speed up the process they have increased the number of visa offices permitted to process FSWP applications.

Please refer the latest update table on the following link and this page is created on 1st Jan 2015:-

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/apply-where.asp

For example when I select my country of residence which is Qatar, it takes you to below link:-
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/apply-where.asp#q

For people residing in Qatar legally for more then one year and applying for Federal Skilled Workers (FSWP) category their case processing will be done at Abu Dhabi. Similarly people applying from Pakistan their FSWP application final processing will be done at Islamabad Visa office.

Could you please provide your opinion in this regard. It looks like that it might speed up the case processing at FSW application processing at VO.

Regards, George,
Doha,Qatar

On the other hand however, this is what Islamabad VO says on its website:

Responsible for Permanent Resident Applications from: Applications from residents of Pakistan are being processed by the visa office in London

Applications from residents of Afghanistan are being processed by the visa office in New Delhi

(Includes Self-employed, Start-up visa, Quebec-selected skilled worker, PNP and family sponsorship)
