Ouch! Seems like my hypothesis is true.iceebaby said:I submitted on the 29th of June and there's no update yet...unfortunately
Im basing this from the past three years of timelines.
Month of May is the final cut off of PR approvals. September is the month of Interviews for PR, making officers' hands too busy to process newly received applications.
Basing from 2014 timelines. June to September applicants get their Owp in the month of October onwards.
Meaning if you submitted January or February of 2015, they have the same approval date from March to May 2015 applicants. (I have seen many timelines as proof for this).
So, for us who submitted starting June - we should ve receiving OWPs starting next month and progress on PR applications after September (busiest month).
I have yet to see someone who received his or her OWP in the month of September. And PR interviews in the first quarter of the year. If so, Canada would have two months for cut off period. As canada has certain number of PT that it grants per provinces and per year.
