Poonam

Dear all, I just got my AOR today, application reached on 3 March.

NSNP just requires me to update my funds, confirm my NOC 1111 and my job description, and there is no phrase "intend to refuse" in the email. Does it mean I have a chance to get nomination soon? Because it will hurt me alot if they reject me after AOR...

Thank all.

Your welcome Peniel, be hopeful and patient. I think the remained cap covers March and April applicants at least. we all get together in NS.

Hi Mostafa,

As per the CIC and I'm quoting "Citizenship and Immigration Canada will process most complete applications in six months or less." ... and here's the link of the video that says so > http: //www .cic .gc.ca/english/department/media/multimedia/video/express-entry/potential-candidates/potential-candidates.asp

As you mentioned, on the speadsheet most of the colleagues have already got their passports, but that doesn't mean it's a general rule ... And actually (as far as I know) now it is taking way less time than it used to do before ! ...

Patience is a virtue ...

They have already sent you you ITA so the processing time might varies and hopefully you'll get some good news sooner than you expect

Regards,
D

Dear CADragorn,

Thank you for your reply. I know I'm still within the timeframe but I can't stop myself from stress and worry and still no body answered my worries.

I applied under NOC 2173 .

I have experience of 1.9 years under the designation Software Engineer .
Currently I am working in a job that has a different title(Buying Assistant) but the job roles that I perform are same as that of NOC 2173
I work in UAE and thus the designation given here will be based on availability of the post during time of visa stamping.

As per the employment letter given by my current company, the designation is Buying Assistant but I have also got a letter from my reporting manager on white paper(with no letterhead ) stating that my current roles match that of NOC 2173.

Kindly advise if this would be enough for us to get considered for 2 years experience under NOC 2173?

 

[Sharnaa]

Can someone advice me on the information regarding country-wise/city-wise centers to have an upfront medical test done?

I believe there are specific medical test centers recognized by CIC.

Thanks,

You can find all details on this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VSlrGd5WYHoElg75K9te3CXyuyw-1RudhWxIb4h2tdI/edit#gid=878787901

In short, they are now nominating candidates from 8 months ago. There are still some nominations left this year, but we don't know how many, since the quota (650 nominees) is shared between 2 streams: NS Demand and NS Experience. The last nomination numbers from NS Demand are probably between 250-260. We don't have recent information from NS Experience and we don't know if their numbering sequence represents the actual nominations, but I believe there must be at least 150 so far. That means we have less than 250 left for both streams combined.

There are still hope, as our spreadsheet apparently has 30-40% of the total nominees. It is unlikely this percentage drops significantly, although the amount of candidates that sent their packages after February drops significantly (which is expected, as many early applicants were remnants from previous years). Right now, I believe the last candidates on the spreadsheet must be around 600-700 in the queue, and should be processed in the next year, according to an inquiry I made to the NSOI itself.

Therefore, nobody, except NSOI officers, can predict how long will it take for a specific file to be processed. And they'll probably tell you they need to know how many nominations CIC will give them for the next year.
