Oh, so I guess I've been following you in the immitracker. I saw a similar note there, so it gotta be you.
Let's hold our horses, though, because DIP doesn't mean it is positive. My company has several branches, so I don't know if they will look at the criteria for branches or main office. I was told they make enough money, but I don't know for sure.
Don't worry about the delay. Truthful candidates have nothing to fear, and your case may be a difficult one. They have to see if the company makes more than 500 k or 1 million per year, and if it is restructured for less than a year, they may not have enough information on the new company to assess if it meets the criteria profit, number of Canadians and PR employees, and reasonable efforts made to hire Canadians. So they might request names of who is in the board and so on to know if the new company is actually the old one, but divided, bought, rebranded, etc. Also, can they consider a new company as an old one? If the president is the same as the old one or if part of the board remains the same? Can they use the average gross of months to estimate the average for the year to assess the criteria? Stuff like that may not be in the manual yet (if there is a manual they use).
The fact that it is taking long is actually a good thing, because one might have rejected you on the spot saying they don't meet one criteria, for example, if there is no proof they tried to hire Canadians as there is not enough job postings since it restructured. It means they are analyzing it carefully. Is it in Canada?
For how long have you been waiting? Did the company send the documents already?
@Toma1993 DIP = decision in progress, ADR = additional documents requested
