Is it Worth applying for CIC ??

It is worth applying for CIC Process anymore??

Here are the facts:
Check This Site
http://www.trackitt.com/canada-immigration-trackers/provincial-nominees

Filter by Application Status = "Denied"

Result:

• Total Denied Cases = 10 (9 Indians & 1 Pakistani National)
• Most NOC = 2171
• All ALBERTA Nominees
• Denial Duration = 01-Mar-2010 to 19-Mar-2010
• Denial Reason : ECONOMY IS DOWN, NOT ENOUGH JOBS IN APPLIED NOC

Here it gets Crazy:

• If there are no Jobs, then Why State Nomination was issued??
• Since State Nomination was FREE, is this only to make money from candidates as Processing Fee is not refundable??

We waiting for 1.5 yr and Many paid $1000+ USD !!! is it not waste of Time & Money ??

deveshjaitley,

I believe guys, you are referring to, got rejection letters from Province. If you got approval letter, you should apply to CIC and should not have any hick ups in process.

Re: Is it Worth applying for CIC ??

Hold your horses cowboy, all the cases that you have pointed on trackitt with status denied have been denied at the AINP nomination stage.

There is no case known to anyone on this forum that has been denied by CIC after nomination has been issued by AINP citing the reason that economy is down and no job for NOC.

So if you have been nominated then go ahead and apply to CIC without taxing your brain.

Hi Jacaranda,

I am back after a long silence....

I applied for my FBI clearance on jan 20th and recieved it on March 19th... for both me and my wife... I have this letter stating that there is no criminal record with out any signature... is that how its usually sent out??

Anyway I am moving to the next step... ie sending my application to CIC Buffalo... I have a few concerns (U can call them silly but what the heck is this forum for...)
1. I have 3 applicants including me (2 adults + 1 child) - do i need to get money orders as seperate one's or can I do away with one MO
2. There is this orange sticker given by AINP, which needs to be pasted on the envelope.. Do i need to paste it in the fedex envelope or in the packet which i am going to put in the documents?? (As being precautious, I am enclosing my documents inside a second envelope)
3. The passport size photos.. can i just put them inside the envelope or need to stick it in the application.
4. Also my state NJ PCC was issued on Dec 30 2009, so will it be ok if my application package reached before March 1st. Or is it the date the MO are cashed?

Guys dont shout at me for being silly.. I want make sure that they dont send my package back.. You know after being in H1B like pirates (The scared ones) I have become a scared soul.. Help me out Guys...

McLuvin

1. You can do one or multiple. I took two(wife & myself).
2. I pasted the label on the "Express Mail" not on the envelop which was enclosed in it.
3. Place immigration photos in an envelope and staple the envelope to the second page of the application being careful not to put a staple through the photos.

I have sent out my application on feb 19th and MO got encashed on feb 26th.

does it mean that there is no need to paste the photo on PR form?

Hi MCLuvin,

vankkam, taliva

Dont send it tomorrow, if you are sending through USPS. This stupid USPS fellows they will deliver on Sat and they will left a note.
Why embassy people will go and pick or ask for redelivery. Again it will comes to you after 5 days, if you are lucky means otherwise
after one month. Its happened same thing to me. So its always suggestable to send on mondays.

This is just a note for you...................

None of the denied cases were AINP nominated. None of those mentioned cases does not have "Provincial Nomination Received" date.... I am assuming they were rejected at the Nomination stage.

Thanks Jacaranda, You know I was skeptical initially thinking that guys out here will start spitting at me for asking things like where to paste the AINP sticker and other silly stuff.. But the guys out here have been gracious..

And by looking at a couple of posts, i am starting to think if its takes only4-6 months to get the visa stamped.. any thoughts on that?

BR,
McLuvin

 

[car33r]

It used to take 4-6 months to get visa stamped when the first rush of AINP nominated applicants were submitting to CIC; which was the case last year. But since late last year it has started to take 3-4 months just to get AOR. And this delay is getting longer day by day. I would consider myself lucky if I get AOR in 4-6 months as some of the members have pointed out that the new processing time is 30 weeks just to receive the AOR.

So you can see as AINP gained in popularity over a period of time, the rush of applicants increased contributing to increased processing time.
