So I am guessing all remaining January applicants have now officially reached the "LIMBO" status...

This is really starting to get really annoying...

I was thinking all the 2*** Nocs we're getting priority. Good to see that !!
Actually I've always felt like the food industry and IT nocs were getting priority. So unfortunately things haven't changed much. Everyone else has to just hang on tight :)

You have received your AOR almost two months after me, and yet you have received your medicals.

Easy to ask others to "relax" given your conditions.

I think this difference in treatment is completely unacceptable. But that's just my opinion...

Sure it feels unfair but you have to remember getting a PR is a privilege. Stay positive man, this isn't under anyone's control on this forum :)

To start with, becoming a permanent resident of Canada is a privilege and not a right. To imply that something is completely unacceptable in itself is insensitive to those who have waited longer than you and those who have benefited from this program. Further more, "completely" is a strong word, implying that a difference in treatment is "absolutely" unacceptable. Now we know that nothing in life is absolute but assuming you want to hold your ground and say it's unfair, what information do you have to prove it, a forum? I doubt you have the resources to prove or justify your claims. Don't carried away by a forum, while it's very useful, you have to be careful how you interpret information here compared to the larger pool of data. Using me for example, I applied for my PR in June 2011 and completed the whole process in five and a half months, I was too excited to document that on any forum. On the other hand I know of people who got theirs in 3 months and didn't report it either and others who were too aggrieved to report a refusal.

Let's choose our words carefully, let's understand that every application is unique and most importantly remember that you are a January applicant and you are still well within the estimated processing times forecasted by CIC. Your time will come and you'll be celebrated when you are approved. Patience is a virtue most needed for this immigration process.

I respect your opinion. (which is not mine)

Now that this is settled, we can all go back to reading this board...and cross our fingers for more MRs soon!

Have a good evening folks ;)

Do we need to submit new police certificate if the old one submitted to cic is expiring soon / has already expired?

I'm sure many of us Jan applicants have reached this point.

Thanks.

If it was valid at the time of submission, no.

I am starting to think the Jan applications are not getting processed. Since September only 3 or 4 MRs have come. I dont understand how applications done in Feb, March and April are getting MRs and Jan applications are not getting processed. Of course there some from September but they are not many compared to Jan. Dont get it. I am not even frustrated about not getting MR , but the fact that there is no way to know what is happening with your application. Just GCMS and even that you get one month old status. Seriously someday one of the guys are going to go insane .

Several feb, mar, and april applicants were put as 'in process' and their gcms notes showed their eligibility was done by CIO - this was thought, at the time to be a pilot scheme. Anyway, it's mainly those people who got MR. There was of course the odd anomaly - but you remember when waiting84 got his MR? People got upset then too. September seems mainly done, and I think October and November but there are still a number of December applicants I believe. Processing time sits at 12 months - we'll see in a week or so how that is going to change but right now, we're still within timeline.
Basically there is nothing anyone can do except wait - myself included. As venting on here isn't going to get anyone anywhere.

I understand that lpc but am not venting my frustration here . I am looking for ideas or avenues to understnad better how to know the status of the application. The timeline 12 months is for all the process to get complete. If we dont hear back anything in November then we wont hear until late jan or feb due to christmas vacation . This will take the timeline to 15 or 16 months to get the process complete. I dont know about you but for me it is crucial to get the answer by atleast early Jan as it might influence the decision on staying in canada or not matters. I also saw some one in november who got rejected and the status changed from application received to Decision made and for some no change in status but got rejected. All I want to know is if my application is in process or rejected. How can i know this?

how is your app gonna get processed if there are older ones not done yet?!

It's that simple, how do you think December applicants feel, stop crying!!
