yes heatspine, that's why i asked kung anong category si lhou eh... smell ko lang naman departmentalized na ang processing... different officers ang assigned sa FSW, PNP, old applicants (march 2008 and below) and new applicants (june 2010 onwards)... our best indicator will be the first FSW na makakakuha ng visa sa atin... nag start ang delay sa mga nag submit ng passports beginning october 2010... dahil i have a friend who submitted her passports oct. 13 and got her visa dec. 02... 50 days na processing yon... it usually took less than 40 days daw sabi sa kanya ng agency nya kaya nawindang din sya sa takot nung naghihintay...
i'm just trying to rationalize things... pang bawas sa pagka pranning baga haha! ;D :'(
;D
so our best bet is pag meron na si kiking visa, sunod sunod na tayo nyan
SANAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! ??? ??? ???
oo. it's hard to wait -- kasi plans are hinged on it.... anyways, we can only speculate - nde ko rin talaga alam how they process it -- but i'm sure gagalaw na yan ... this is what i know of (lifted from a post of saki - from CBC news)

Canada's 2011 immigration level unchanged
Canada will accept between 240,000 and 265,000 immigrants in 2011, about the same number as 2010.

Most of those coming will be skilled workers, as about 60 per cent of immigrants will be accepted under the economic category. The government will also be letting in more spouses and children under the family category, along with about 1,125 more refugees than 2010.
"Canada's post-recession economy demands a high level of legal immigration to keep our workforce strong," said Immigration Minister Jason Kenney.
About 75 per cent of the immigrants will likely settle in Ontario, B.C. and Quebec.
According to Citizenship and Immigration Canada, the country's low birthrate and aging population means in the not-too-distant future Canada won't have enough people to keep the workforce growing.
The Federal Skilled Worker Program makes up a significant portion of the economic category, and gives priority to technicians, skilled trades people, managers and professionals who help supplement the Canadian-born workforce.
