My application received in April 15. And I also have to send my passport for MRP which takes 12-16 weeks. I wonder if it is the right time to do that, or will I get a PPR before 12-16 weeks.gzqgzq said:It could be but it depends, I have been waiting 8 months since I got my AR in May, I don't think it's a good idea for me, but if you just started applying not long ago, then why not?
Sorry I can't find the email now...Anyway status on my ECAS just change. Jan 5th "In Process"..kelbc said:Hi Leikyut,
Do you mind sharing the email with us as the wording that CIC uses rarely changes and this would a good opportunity to compare. Just remove personal info. Many thanks!
It seems like with current processing speed, May 2014 applications will probably go in process in March 2015 and will probably get PPR in July/Aug 2015, where applicants from express category will probably get PPR by June 2015.leikyut_31 said:Sorry I can't find the email now...Anyway status on my ECAS just change.

Let's hope for the fastest moving of our application this year. God Bless everyone! ; - )
Wasn't the whole premise of PNP PR that provincial nominees have priority over ALL other candidates applying via other streams? So disappointing that this service standard was not met and us 2014 PNP applicants are getting the short end of the stick.alpha_centauri said:It seems like with current processing speed, May 2014 applications will probably go in process in March 2015 and will probably get PPR in July/Aug 2015, where applicants from express category will probably get PPR by June 2015.
Indeed, or maybe provinces are complacent,..because people dont move during procesing time.traxton said:Wasn't the whole premise of PNP PR that provincial nominees have priority over ALL other candidates applying via other streams?

Yes, exactly. Nominees were given priority over other PR applicants. This aspect of the PNP has made it incredibly popular among prospective immigrants (like yourself). In turn, visa offices have been flooded with PNP applications thus accounting for the slower processing time. Add to this, the fact that provinces have been nominating applicants who don't meet provincial criteria or who've misrepresented themselves on their PNP/PR applications.traxton said:Wasn't the whole premise of PNP PR that provincial nominees have priority over ALL other candidates applying via other streams?

Do you indirectly mean that those who do have valid qualification and are working in Canada and want the PR earlier for whatever reason should go with the express entry now ? Because as it stands we may get PR via express entry in 6 months right ?A.G.Pennypacker said:Yes, exactly. Nominees were given priority over other PR applicants.

If you're looking to place blame, direct it toward the provincial immigration offices who've proven to be weak in their selection process, leaving CIC to clean-up their mess.
Less face it, many of you have been beneficiaries of this broken system. If the PNP and the Federal immigration process was as efficient as many of you would like, you may not have been nominated to begin with.
You'll just have to take the good with the bad and be grateful that eventually you'll receive Permanent Residency. So what if it takes 4-8 months longer?

I'm not a citizen nor a permanent resident, however I make more than twice the Canadian average, which means I pay a lot of taxes!A.G.Pennypacker said:fenomenalb, you say:
"Who are you to say that everyone who has been nominated is guaranteed a PR in the first place?"
The approval rating for provincial nominees at the federal level is 96%. The approval rating at the provincial level is something like 94%.
Why? Because it's a broken system. CIC thinks the province does the screening, the province thinks CIC is doing the screening and as a result no one gets screened and a lot of cheaters find their way in to Canada.
Incidentally, the approval rating for other federal immigration avenues is approximately 60%.
The PNP system is a disaster..do some research and you'll see for yourself.
Once you become a citizen, you will understand my point of view.

Pretty much every immigrant I know is a hard worker, no matter whether they're PhDs or factory workers. They do also pay taxes!
I know a lot of Canadians living of social welfare, EI or other benefits. Can't remember of one single immigrant doing it.
Your citizen status doesn't change crap, my friend... Canadian, temporary or permanent resident, you MUST pay taxes!
Anyway, this is not the point. Not sure why I'm replying to your comment.
All I know is that...... THE ROOF, THE ROOF, THE ROOF IS ON FIREEEEEEEEE!!!
You're suggesting that giving PR to cheaters is a good thing for Canada - CIC should rush through all PNP applications so they (CIC) don't inconvenience the applicants rather than thoroughly screen for misrepresentation? Given the PNP's track record for fraud, I think you're way off base.
LOL!
