Greetings Everyone,
I have been keeping an eye on this post, thought I should share my experience as well.
I submitted my application (through my lawyer) back in June'14 and CIC returned it due my photograph's were missing (I believe they lost them as I sent 2 copies with and without stubble!). The lawyer also pointed out a concern with my work experience letter; it had to state from the date I started employment I did work for 37.5 hours per week (not simply stating I did 37.5 hours). Then they changed 2 forms and that delayed submitting my application to CIC on 11th November.
On 19th January CIC took my payment and receive a email (I think it was the PER) on 5th February.
Good luck to everyone as it is quite stressful just waiting, just hang in there.
Back in 2013, I visited Toronto and my brother in law spoke to his local IT recruitment agencies, we have the skills they want, but the hurdle is the working visa. I think this Express Entry may work out better as an alternative, also I am orientating to gain skills towards what they require should I fail the process. Never give up and adapt!
I hope this will cheer everyone up
