MAY 2011 Application- Process and Timeline

May 16, 2011

Hi to All Mayians,
Here is my situation and I look for your kind advices and time predictions. I am also may 2011 applicant. I have got 'in process' at the end of Sep 2011 and in a couple of days after that my VO sent me my Medicals, but unfortunately the ordinary postal service lost my medicals at that time and I discovered it recently. My VO sent the medicals second time, i went through examination this week and my doctor sent the docs to Medical section of London VO, these were sent by reliable courier service, docs should arrive there tomorrow or 30 January.
My question: will my VO send the RPRF as a next stage? How long can it take? Do they send by ordinary post or it is just e-mail request? I am afraid to loose docs second time :(. My VO is Ankara and as i guess/understand the process it will be London office which will make final decision on my passing medical check and then inform Ankara, and only after that Ankara office may send RPRF, does it happen that way?

The Department of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) have announced they plan to accept even more immigrants under the Federal Skilled Worker program in 2012.

Latest news
19 January 2012 New Immigration Group created to welcome immigrants and refugees to Canada
05 January 2012 Canadian Tourism Commission encourages Indians to visit Canada
05 January 2012 Canada's Federal Skilled Worker visa program is filling up fast - Apply now!
02 January 2012 Canadian Immigration opportunities for biologists and related scientists
In its report to the Parliament of Canada, CIC has indicated that in 2010 they admitted over 280,000 immigrants, an increase of over 11.3 percent over the previous year, and the highest number of immigrants in the last 50 years. Around 67 percent of those admitted were economic immigrants with 40 percent of these being Federal Skilled workers.

In 2012, Canadian immigration plans to accept 55,000–57,000 Federal Skilled Workers, which is up from 47,000–47,400 in 2011. The Canadian government stressed that these additional numbers will help meet market demand, as well as reduce the backlog of applicants for the skilled worker immigration program from previous years.

The Federal Skilled Worker Program is Canada's most popular immigration route for immigrants to obtain permanent residency. Under this program, potential candidates are awarded points for their ability to adapt and contribute to Canada's economic development. In order to be eligible you must either:
have a job offer with an eligible employer;
have been legally residing in Canada for at least one year as a temporary foreign worker or an international student; or
be a skilled worker with at least one year of experience in one or more eligible Canadian skilled occupations within the last ten years.

In a recent speech, Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney expressed his optimism about the program and about Canadian immigration, "The government's number one priority remains the economy. We recognize the importance of immigration to our labour market and we value the contributions of skilled immigrants who add to our international competitiveness."

Canadian immigration completed an extensive review of the Federal Skilled Worker Program in 2010, which seemed to suggest that the program was working well and was leading to the selection of immigrants who perform well economically. The report also found that 89 percent of Federal Skilled Workers were employed or self-employed three years after landing in Canada. This would appear to suggest a strong continuing need for skilled immigrants in Canada.

"CIC will continue to ramp up efforts to modernize our immigration system to make it more nimble and responsive to labour market needs," said Kenney.

My current status is "In process" and a line was added that the

"My application was reviewed and processing has started on 8th December"

Application received Date: 12TH May 2011
NOC 6242 (cook, chef)

I have seen a loads of April applicants getting their MR/PPR request.

My question is should I go for a case specific inquiry or its worth a wait?

Thanks in advance for any help. The wait is killing me :'(

Great!!! reply was lightning fast. One more thing I am worried about is by reading lots and lots of forum posts that. There are also thin chances of rejection after your status is "In Process"

What do yout expertise say?

And again Many thanks for your reply.

Kix, and Seniors,
please tell me: after medicals done do you first get POVL and then RPRF and Passport request or it is vice versa?
