Hi
Thanks for the comment
If the website states that x no. of applications received by y date it says applications received (no mention of opened or pending or backlog) so if that is correct my logic stands correct and if that is wrong it is against the operational procedure. So it is nothing but my perception of looking at things based on the proofs i have from my bank etc and what is correct only time can tell.
Now one more thing
total application received till 22nd aug is 1296 say they opened the first application on 5th of July ( as it was holiday before that ) so from 5th july to 22nd aug is 7 weeks *5 days (2 days weekend) = 35 days
now 1296/35= 37 applications / day say additional 23 application incomplete and all= 60 applications now if 20 people working on a 8 hr shift are checking 60 application/day that means it took them around 3 hrs to check 1 application.
now do you think that if they have received 500 application by 8th july they would work at this snail speed.
now if they say that they have received 500 application by 8th july than 40% of the total application received is in wouldn't u think that they will have more no. of people checking the form and at good speed than when they would be updating the site on periodic basis sometimes almost daily how can they have 40 days backlog.
anybody is welcome to prove me wrong but with a logic.
my request to all of the people who got the negative reply is that please update on your mode of payment and that will clear the scenario.
Due to the limited number for the cap, the immigration officers will definitely check each application with more caution and scrutiny..i have posted early on the strategy this year for the CIO-500 and here it is again:
The CIO and its processing strategies:
Utter compliance with R(10) and R(11)
The Centralized Intake Office, at the Case Processing Center in Sydney, Nova Scotia has a mandate to process all new applications for Permanent Residence Status under the Federal Skilled Worker Program.
From an intake point of view, the mandate of this office causes a rather significant number of applications to flow into the CIO rendering the capacity of the CIO under constant pressure.
In light of the abovementioned, the assessment of files submitted under Category 1 (claims of possession of a minimum of one year of fulltime paid experience in one of the occupations designated by the minister), is performed by officers with all due caution and scrutiny. The officers' mandate is to ensure that only utterly complete applications are placed in the processing queue and recommended for further processing by “a” visa post (Embassy, High Commission or Consulate).
The above described level of scrutiny practiced on the part of visa officers at the CIO will now be amplified as a result of the reduction of the total number of application in the occupation groups that are eligible for submission, as more applicants will try to submit their files “in time” before the cap hits, whether the file is utterly complete or not. On July 1st, 2011 the minister of citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism announced that the total number of applications to be processed under each occupation group is 500, with a total quota of 10,000 applications to be processed between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012.
Applications that are not in full conformity with R (10) and R (11) will be returned to the applicant pursuant to R (12).
Applications that are complete in terms of components (Supporting documents, forms and fees) but not in terms of criteria compliance, will be placed in the processing queue of the CIO and will then be refused.
The remedy
1. Understanding the meaning of the Occupation Groups.
It is of the essence that applicants understand the spirit of each NOC group. Mere titles and position summaries are insufficient. The applicant must firstly ensure that S/He did in fact perform a substantial number of the duties described in the NOC occupational structure, they need to ensure that they can satisfactorily document their experience.
Bulking up the work experience section of the application package with material that is mostly irrelevant to the essence of the claimed NOC group, will not cause the officer to overlook the lack of presence of the proper substantiation of the main duties claimed on the application forms.
Simply put, you must have performed the duties of the NOC group you are claiming membership of and you must be able to extensively document those particular duties.
2. Understanding the quota at the CIO, the timelines of the IELTS and the TEF examination centers
There is no application without the conclusive evidence of language ability.
Applying to the CIO requires very precise and comprehensive planning and coordination. An Applicant must firstly understand the testing times for the IELTS and the TEF examinations, keep a very close eye on the cap of applications in the same group the applicant is applying under that have been received by the CIO, the time required to procure the remainder of the supporting documentation for the file.
3. Ensuring that all regulatory components are present in the application package prior to dispatch in order to circumvent the application being returned due to component deficiency
Applications complete in terms of components yet refused due to lack of compliance with the definition of a Skilled Worker (i.e. refused due to points deficiency or NOC group lack of true membership):
Applications received at the CIO face one of three potential outcomes:
- Positive Final Assessment (Approved, file will be screened for inadmissibility at a visa post)
- Returned to applicant due to missing components (not refused, the cost recover fees paid will be refunded)
- Refused due to deficient points or lack of satisfactory documentation that substantiates membership in the claimed eligible NOC group (an assessment of the point will have taken place, and the processing fees are non refundable)
