Dear Madam / Sir,
This is in response to your enquiry.
Your documents have been received and placed on file. No further action is required by you at this time.
Unfortunately, it will take longer to process Federal Skilled Worker applications submitted under the first set of instructions (between February 27, 2008 and June 25, 2010) than originally projected.
During this time, the department received applications for more than 425,000 people, and 144,000 of these have not yet received a decision.
This number represents more than twice the number of projected admissions under the Federal Skilled Worker program in 2011, so many of these applicants will have to wait two years or more to be processed. Because they reflect Canada's current labour market needs, applications under the most recent set of ministerial instructions are processed on a priority basis.
Our office sends immigration decisions and information requests by post or by email to the mailing and email addresses provided in the application. Therefore, it is important that our office be notified immediately of any change of address and contact details.
We thank you for your patience and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum.
Yours sincerely,

i feel so disappointed. they should have seen these things were bound to happen. they should have done something to make it right.if they have projections, how come they didn't stop accepting admissions at the time they approximated that they cannot anymore accomodate this much applications? it isn't easy to go through all the process involving money, time and efforts. some plans are given up and it is difficult to wait when you don't even know until when you have to..i hope an immigrant officer may read this.
