I pray to God your theory would be correct
Still next update will be a killer for doubt ... I hope in a positive way

Hi,

My application was received at CIO on 15th Dec. I know there are many who reached this mark in Dec'14 alone for this category and the latest updates on CIC site for this NOC status have not been very promising in general.

but just to be optimistic to all my friends here if you have tried your level best and gave your best shot and reached the CIO well before closing of this year then my dear friends here on there is nothing much that you can do but to frustrate yourself if you feel that you might not make it.

God has his plans and after our try if Canada is our destination to be from where we will get our share of bread then so be it and if not then I am sure something better awaits .

best of luck to all of you including myself and I hope you all get best that you deserve.

Regards,

Syed Soulat Zaidi

About completed applications from CIC Help desk:

What is a complete application package?

Your application package is complete when you have:

- answered all of the questions on the application form, and
- submitted all the necessary documents along with your application.

If you forget to send a document, your application may be returned to you, the processing of your application may be delayed, or your application may be refused.


No words about fee payment. So, this means that those number of completed applications may display the general number of applications waiting for review and received until mid December....

am I right?

Hope it wll be helpful to all

8. Procedure: Receiving the application
8.1. Completeness check upon receipt
All applications for permanent residence in the Federal Skilled Worker Class must be submitted to the CIO in Sydney, Nova Scotia.
Applications received at the CIO will first be reviewed for completeness pursuant to R10 and the application kit requirements in place at the time of application receipt, including the following forms, fees, information and supporting documents:
• a signed and completed Generic Application Form for Canada [IMM 0008], including the name, date of birth, nationality, current marital status, and current immigration status of the principal applicant and all family members (whether accompanying or not);
• results of the principal applicant's language proficiency test from a designated testing agency, which are no more than two years old on the date on which the application is made, demonstrating that they meet or exceed the language proficiency threshold set by the Minister in all four skill areas in the first official language identified in their application;
• evidence that the principal applicant has accumulated at least one year of continuous full-time paid work experience, or the equivalent in continuous paid part-time work experience, in the NOC 2011 0, A or B occupation identified in their application for permanent residence as their primary occupation. This work experience must have been obtained within the 10 years preceding the date of their application, and the applicant must have:

o performed the actions described in the lead statement for the occupation as set out in the occupational description of the NOC 2011; and
o performed a substantial number of the main duties, including all of the essential duties, of the occupation as set out in the occupational description of the NOC 2011.
• a completed Canadian educational credential OR a completed foreign educational credential and its equivalency assessment (Educational Credential Assessment – ECA report) issued by a designated organization or institution. If a professional body has been designated for the occupation specified by the applicant as their primary occupation, the ECA report must have been issued by the designated professional body. The ECA report must be less than five years old on the date on which the application is made;
• a properly completed Schedule A – Background/Declaration [IMM 5669] for the principal applicant and, if applicable, his or her spouse or common-law partner, and all dependent children 18 years of age or older listed in the IMM 0008;
• a properly completed Schedule 3 – Economic Class – Federal Skilled Workers [IMM 0008 – Schedule 3] for the principal applicant;
• a properly completed Supplementary Information – Your Travels [IMM 5562] for the principal applicant;
• a properly completed Fee Payment Form – Application for Permanent Residence [IMM 5620] and evidence of payment of the applicable fees;


•clear identification of the visa, permit or authorization for which the application is being made;
• clear identification of the class in which the application is being made;
• a signed declaration to the effect that the information provided is complete and accurate; and
• any additional documents and information required by the IRPR, as well as any other evidence required by the IRPA.
Note: Applications that are incomplete or received after any global or sub-cap specified through Ministerial Instructions has been reached will be returned to the applicant along with processing fees.
• If it is determined that the application meets the requirements pursuant to R10, including the application kit requirements in place at the time of application receipt, then the CIO will proceed to assess the application against ministerial instructions (Section 9).
• If it is determined that the application does not meet the requirements pursuant to R10, including the application kit requirements in place at the time of application receipt, then the CIO will return the application to the applicant as incomplete. The CIO will record in GCMS that an application was received and returned to the applicant, and will take no further action unless a complete application, as outlined above, is made.
Note: Applications are date stamped upon receipt at the CIO and then checked for completeness in order by date of receipt. The “application received” date at the CIO is the lock-in date. Processing offices should therefore maintain the application received date from the time of the applicant's initial submission to the CIO, and process the application to conclusion.


9.1. Putting an application into process at the CIO
Following a positive completeness check and final determination of eligibility for processing under Ministerial Instructions, if any, in place at the time of application, the CIO will:
 create a file in GCMS;
 enter “SW1-FED” in the Category field in GCMS;
 cost recover the applicable processing fees and enter confirmation in GCMS;
 record the GCMS file number on the paper file;
 send an acknowledgement of receipt letter to the applicant informing them that their file has been placed into processing and, if applicable, transferred to another office;
 transfer the paper file to the processing office in accordance with existing file transfer policies; and
 transfer the electronic file to the processing office in GCMS by making that office the primary office for processing.

Actually no one can say with 100% certainity. I saw on the CIC page that they had "last updated" date of 19/11 & Same date for PhD applicants. Earlier they used to put date for applications/cap update - that is no longer the case so I cannot say for sure - I just said its my opinion. We could either be right/wrong but most likely we are both in the "maybe" state.. Also please note for 2171/2173, 1000 applications were reached around 3 weeks before the last reported charge and the fact that the update page reads, "we have received more than 1000 applications in xxxx NOC" which is a clear indication that they are still sticking to an overall FIFO approach never mind the 1000 applications cap.

Payment need not be charged at completeness. Complete means your application has everything that is needed to make a decision on MI (what we call points calculation). Once complete, I believe it moves to charge and then PER/NER stage and somewhere in between CAP gets updated. However this is just observation and inference & tribal knowledge. No 100% certainty.

Rick

Awesome! Guess tribal knowledge and google are more or less within the range. +1 for locating the document, brother!
As above, UIC is created first, then CC/DD charge is done.

Hello everyone,

I've been reading this thread for the past 2 hours and it looks like there are quite a few of you with reliable knowledge of the proceedings of CIC. Please help me!
My situation is this;
NOC: 1123
Application received: October 17th
Still no news, no cc charged, nothing!
I applied with the help of a consultant and all she's saying is "best is to be positive & patiently wait". I understand she means to be PC and not get hopes up but I am freaking out!!
All of the correspondence will go through her, apparently there is still no news.
I'm also eight months pregnant, my stress level is skyrocketing with both waiting for news from CIC and the impending delivery of my baby!

What do you think of my chances, do you think I should at least be in the 340 cap (pending apps)? What are your opinions? If it was negative, would I have received word by now that my app is refused? If so, should I console myself thinking no news is good news?

Please someone help me, I desperately need guidance!

Top 3 Suggestions : Relax, Relax, Relax!
I am not saying this to soothe you....
If your application reached in october, whichever way it goes, you are in cap!
If your date of receipt at CIC is 17th Oct, you will not get charged until February (110 day average)
Your first concern should be the baby and safe delivery! Do NOT worry about anything else. Baby will bring you good luck

On behalf of all forum members, BEST OF LUCK - Have a merry Christmas and a happy NEW YEAR! See you in Canada around Sep-Oct 2015.

Hi All,

I have come across weird issue. I applied for FSW 2014 under 1123, and I checked my file status using old UCI no. and found that the file is in process. However, my immigration agent have not received any email yet.

I have a friend who applied under same category one month after me and he received PER email last night. I again contacted my immigration agent and still he said that he have not received any email from CIC.

Can someone please shed light on this issue? Is it possible to call CIC outside canada? If yes, could you please pass on the contact no. so I can try to figure out the issue.

Regards,
Sarvesh
