[AnGeLJaDe]

Still no update from my part. It has been over 4 months now since my status changed to IN PROCESS. I have already written to CRNBC to extend my SEC assessment since it will expire on July 31, 2011. What's slowing things down?

Look at the reply i got from Buffalo on my inquiry for application status.

Dear Sir/Madam:

Due to the volume of applications and processing issues beyond the control of this office, processing times may be longer than those listed on the CIC website.

We cannot provide a precise estimate of when the processing of your application will be completed. We can only assure you that we will contact you when we require information from you or have information to share.

Dear spatel09,

This reply is not surprising at all. Some other applicants from different Visa Offices got more or less similar reply that processing will not be possible within the initial estimated time line due to huge application backlog and quota of 2011. Just wait and watch. Nothing to do at this moment. If any new rules announce this June then their might be some pace otherwise I don't see any hope but to wait.

this is response i have received regarding my PR status. even though my e-cas status shows received by visa office they confirmed that iam in the process so confusing


e-Cas is for applications processing within Canada only.



Immigration cases being processed in Visa offices outside Canada use a system different from that used to process similar applications in Canada. As a result, the e-Client Application Status (e-CAS) does not reflect the status of cases being processed in Buffalo.

Do not use the CIC e-Cas on-line change of address system. Your new address will not be downloaded to your file in Buffalo.

Your application is in process. We are unable to provide a date when the processing of your application will be complete.

How Canada's Election May Affect Canadian Immigration

On May 2, 2011 Canadian citizens will be casting their vote in an election to either re-elect the governing Conservatives, or to elect a new party and Prime Minister. The outcome of this election may have important implications for Canadian immigration.

Canada has five major parties running for election. While many parties agree on certain issues, such as the need to improve the efficiency of the immigration system, they each have their own views on what changes need to be made to Canada's immigration system. The following are some promises made by each party during the election campaign:

Conservatives

If re-elected, the Conservatives have promised to:

Get tougher on human smuggling;
Streamline the process for deporting foreign criminals;
Impose a two year conditional Canadian permanent resident status for applicants who are sponsored by a spouse or common-law partner and who have been in that relationship for less than two years; and
Have foreign credentials recognized in Canada faster and more easily.
Liberals

If elected, the Liberals have promised to:

Reduce wait times for immigration applications and increase efficiency of the current Canadian immigration system;
Increase the number of visas that are issued in the Family Class Category;
Increase federal funding for language training programs in Canada for those wanting to improve their English or French proficiency; and
Improve the system of recognizing foreign credentials in Canada.
NDP

If elected, the National Democratic Party has promised to:

Improve immigration wait times and fast-track family reunification;
Reduce the backlog of applications at the visa offices;
Develop better procedures and appeals for those applying for visitor visas;
Accelerate the recognition of foreign credentials in Canada;
Reinstate federal funding for immigrant settlement agencies, especially those cut in Ontario;
Implement the “Once in a Lifetime Act” which would allow Canadians a one-time opportunity to sponsor a relative who is not a member of the family class to come to Canada; and
Ensure tough laws against crooked consultants are enforced.
Green Party

If elected, the Green Party promises to:

Allocate greater funding for language training programs in English and French in Canada;
Establish a program for people living in Canada without official status that will lead to full landed immigrant status;
Improve the integration of newcomers into Canadian society;
Toughen and enforce regulations governing the practice of immigration consultants; and
Amend the Anti-Terrorism Act and the Public Safety Act so that formal charges can be brought against all those detained.
Parti Quebecois

Throughout the election campaign, the Parti Quebecois have been fairly quiet on issues regarding immigration. They recently released a document which proposes several changes to their own immigration programs within the province of Quebec (full story can be found here); however they have not discussed changes they would make to federal immigration policies.

The 2011 election is important to potential immigrants and Canadians alike as a new government can mean changes to current immigration policies, but whether all of these promises will actually be kept remains to be seen

Hi Zakout,
From many posts on this forum, I understand that it will be really in process only if we see "We start processing your application on.....(Date)"
I might misnuderstand it but you can dig deep in the forum. I have the same since 1st March 2011. My consultant commented that it is "In Process" but I can't believe him ???
Good luck

In process mean you file has been opened and VO being review and Back ground and dox verification has begun
