Hi
I applied in may 2010 as a geological engineer and I recieved the 2nd file number in july 2011, they said in thier letter if I dont recive any instructions within 8 months then I have to contact them
so I sent them an e mail to london visa office one week ago ( after 8 months of thier letter) regarding my application process, the email was a follows:
"Dear Sir/Madam
I received the 2nd file number in July 2011, and in your letter (attached) you said that if I haven't received any instruction regarding my application process then I should contact your office. Please sir; are you going to send me any instructions regarding my application process within the specified period in your letter? And is the application processing time is still the same (12 months)?"
and they reply yesterday as follows:
""Dear Sir/Madam,
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,""
My question is does any body has the same case and got same reply and how much time it takes to finish our cases
many thanks
