Qorax,
Do applicants with AEO, get any priority when it comes to quota for issuing medicals/Visa?

When CIC states 1,44,000 pending applications & just 55,000 Visas, out of this number some 12,000 odd will goto post 26 June 2010 applicants & another 6000-8000 to post 1 July 2011 applicants in the year 2011. So approx. 35,000 odd Visas will be available for pre 26 June 2010 & pre Feb 2008 applicants. Right ??

Secondly an applicant with an AEO who applied post 26 June 2010 get any priority over an AEO applicant who applied before 26 June 2010?

Thanks....
Yes, there's a priority for AEO cases, but they also incur delays for want of addnl b/g checks of the prospective employer. It helps if the AEO was from a reputed org, say RIM, Suncor, Rogers, TransAlta etc. - however, others might come under the radar.

Thus, if the b/g checks complete in time - u get to board the bus... however, if it doesn't - what good is that 'priority'?

Seems no rocket scientists on the forum...... :(

Hey can I volunteer...... although not a rocket scientists I have a very rare skill ...... common sense ;D

I know 1+1=2.

I know if I have 10 vacant seats I will not ask 11 people to apply.....

I will stop accepting money from the 11th applicant till I have a vacancy ie until next year visa quota.

I know that if someone is first in the queue I will attend him first.... first come first serve.

Are my above skills of any good?
Since no rocket scientists on the forum I think I will have to volunteer..... :D
Good work there buddy!

good maths but thats not the way Economists and politicians look at the stories.
They want $$$$$, somehow, no matter it takes years for them to reward in reply.
money is the key thats making CIC paying their staffs' salaries, running the missions all around the world.

I have just done a searching in job site with the string "Web Designer" in GTA. There are 144 jobs alone available within a single city which seems pretty interesting. all of them wanted experience in the field and none requires Canadian education. the real fact is they'd ask for Canadian education once anyone appeared on the interview or they'd not at all call the applicants who didnt have a Canadian education. for skilled IT guys like me :p it could be the opposite. experience would surely count.

I read somewhere that there will be a shortfall of around 44,000 IT applicants in the next few years and that immigrants will fill many of those positions. We don't have enough educated Canadians to fill them, so I think you would do fine.

That's very nice, however the companies you mentioned are not willing to wait for 2 years (first at HRSDC then CIO/VO) or more for the applicant to join. I doubt if companies of these sizes would first of all actually do the documentation (sensitive & confidential mostly) for filing with HRSDC/Service Canada then wait for the FSW application to get a positive decision.
I have experienced this first hand with RIM for my spouse who went through 3 rounds of telephonic interview but then they got cold feet once they got to know of the AEO filing process & the lengthy waits that employers have to incur before a prospective employee can actually join them !! A big time opportunity was lost just because of this skewed process that CIC has for AEO applicants applying from outside of Canada.

How do they (CIC/VO) expect an employer to retain interest in a potential employee for 2 years unless that employee is a Rocket Scientist??!!

So end result is only small companies with a one to one relationship between the employer (owner) & employee are able to go through this grind... talk about making a well & jumping into it to find water while it is raining outside !!

Then CIC blames the applicant for fraud & misrepresentation, whereas they are the ones actually encouraging it !

What about the priorities for applicants (with AEO's & similar NOC's post & pre June 2010) wrt to post 26 June applicants? Is it that filing date of the application is more important then the actual NOC that is in demand? We have seen 3152's pre 26 June not getting anywhere near medicals whereas 3152's of post 26 June getting Visas within 6 months of application! Is that the way CIC makes it's policies?? (Your comments pls.!)

Similarly AEO applicants have the same rules governing their application whether in MI-1 or MI-2, so what happens to them when it comes to defining the quota?

Thanks...

AEO is good but in 99.99% cases employers just show their absolute unwillingness to go on with the formalities to hire a foreign national from other countries. They dont wanna go into the hassle. why would they hire people from outside Canada if they could receive lots of applications from within Canada?

The exception is for remote provinces like Nunavut, PEI, NT, Yukon, New Foundland.

Unfortunately it's the CIC who gets to call the shots!
We might as well lump it. We remain in the receiving end, don't we?

Ps.: Your opinions r correct... but that's the way it is.
