Good news for all applicants in Backlog

[BobbyB]

You people dont loose your heart and be optimistic

No mate, It is not a matter of losing hearts. It is in fact annoying and frustrating. And sorry, but what is the good news?.
Nothing seems to have been put into practice. It is only on papers.
I agree with Nirmal and jaffarh.

Don’t lie in your Canada immigration application
Canada, 26th October: Do you know that any lie in your Canada immigration application can put a question mark on your chances of immigration?

While providing detailed information in your application for Canada immigration, you must provide a true and authentic detail of various facts about yourself. Giving any false information can hinder not only yours but also the chances of your family members seeking immigration to Canada.

Why should you abstain from providing false information in your Canada visa application---

• Giving untrue information in your application is regarded a legal crime under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act;

• It renders you ineligible to immigrate to Canada either for studying in Canada, working in Canada, going to Canada on a Canada visitor visa or seeking permanent immigration to Canada;

• It reduces the chances of your family members for Canada immigration;

• It shows your disrespect towards rules of laws and makes you suspicious in the eyes of the Canada immigration officials regarding the disrespect you might show towards Canadian laws after your immigration to Canada.

• Immigration fraud is considered to be a big threat to the security and integrity of the immigration system of Canada and anyone caught to be misrepresenting the facts is likely to be denied any chance to immigrate to Canada.

• The introduction of ‘The Cracking Down on Crooked Consultants Act’ on June 8, 2010 is another proof of the fact that anyone found to be involved in fraud either directly or under the influence of any crooked immigration consultants to gain Canada citizenship or Canada visa will not be spared by Canada immigration department.

• The government of Canada has introduced several measures to ensure that immigration consultation services in Canada are provided only by notaries, lawyers or registered members of CSIC (Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants).

• Anyone giving false information about persecution for making refugee claims is likely to face severe punishment as per the Canada immigration laws.

Remember, honesty is, undoubtedly, the best policy if you want to successfully immigrate to Canada and even a small lie might make you pay a heavy price for your mistake.

Citizenship backlog tackled by new staff
Last Updated: Tuesday, October 26, 2010 | 8:36 AM AT Comments38Recommend17.
CBC News Dozens of extra immigration staff have been reassigned to process Canadian citizenship applications to help deal with delays.

In recent years, the wait time for people applying to become citizens has gone from five to 19 months. All applications go through one office, in Sydney, N.S, and about 250 were working there.

Jeannette Meunier-McKay, national president of the Canada Employment and Immigration Union, told CBC News on Monday her members were complaining about workload, and that they weren't able to process applications on time.

"They were frustrated because they couldn't provide the quality and the quick services to the immigrants," said Meunier-McKay.

Changes to federal legislationApplications for citizenship increased after changes to the Canada Immigration Act in 2009. People who hadn't been eligible before, such as children of Canadians born outside the country, are now able to apply.

The Canada Employment and Immigration Union lobbied Ottawa to hire extra workers this summer. So far, 160 staff, mostly federal workers who were facing layoff, started a seven-month contract in September, working specifically on citizenship applications.

It's still taking time to reduce the delays, but Meunier-McKay said she is hopeful that will change.

"There's still a stress level as far as they see the applications in there, but there's a better sense" that things are moving forward, she said.

"So hopefully we'll start seeing a decline in the processing time."

Meunier-McKay said the union will re-examine the situation in the new year to see if these workers should be kept on longer

I don't think this is relevant to anyone who is yet to receive the PR and is still in the process of receiving a PR-Visa.
One after the other, mate.!!

Friends,
There is a message going around of limiting the number of processing of applicants to 20,000 annually? Is this for the applicants in the backlog or for the new applications after Feb. 2008 or it is the total number per year? If it is for the backlog applicants then it will take 15 years for the processing of 300,000 applicants in backlog @ 20,000 per annum ! Have anybody followed this up? What is this all about?

The 20,000 limit is only for the applicants of the post -June 28, 2010 fast track system.This move is to prevent backlog for the Feb 2008 Fast Track system and to give priority to those high demend skills in Canada. The limit does not affect the old system.

Dear Friend!
Mabute.
Bye the way what will happen as my occupation list does not fall in the present occupation list published by CANADA? Will they discard my application or they will pass it? Because when I applied Civil Engineer was on priority list.
