Hi forever victory.. No one knows the processing procedure of mpnp. I know mpnp give priority to FS bcoz the intentions and connection are strong of FS applicant bcoz of family relation reason. As we know gs online tool was just started in jan 2013 so of course I applied by snail mail or courier in April 2012. One thing more I'm not a single applicant who is waiting from last 1 year, actually there are 20-25 gs applicants those are waiting from last 1 year or more. These all applicants are present on this Canadavisa.com in different threads. So think abt others those are not on this website, we can't assume tht how many gs applicants are in waiting list frm last one year. Most are of April may June 2012 applicants. I think no one heard any sponsor interview for online gs applicants yet. And jan 2013- feb 2013 FS applicants already got their loa. So this is the difference between FS and gs processing time. Mpnp have 5000 nomination cap limit per year ... And right now they have thousands of applications to process. So nobody knows how they pick applicants and wht is the processing procedure of mpnp.
