Thank you vensak !
What is A112 and LVO ?
Any feeling how fast the federal process moves timewise ? I have gathered almost all necessary ITA documents so as not to waste any more time . Any tips for the future ? I know I am really getting ahead of myself as I dont even have nomination yet , it's just that I want to make sure things process as fast as possible ( my oldest dauhter would be on 11th grade next year , and I am hoping she could start school on time )
1. Send them results of your husband IELTS ASAP per email.
2. I am estimating, that if you got that possibility, they will decide on your file fast after that (maybe within 2 to 3 weeks).
3. Nomination itself can be accepted within 1 day
4. ITA will be received within 3 weeks (depending when will you get your nomination - but count more like 1 day to 2 weeks).
5. After that it really depends on your background. (any government job history or military history will put it in a detailed check. which can be 6 to 15 months). But if you are a simple case, you will get PPR like after 4 to 5 months after your AOR.
How to speed up federal process:
1. check documents in detail so nothing is missing.
2. put down clear LOE for things that might be not clear (but simple enough so that they dont have to read lot of pages).
3. prepare scan of your ECA, diplomas and translations of diplomas if needed. And also scan of your IELTS and TEF results (even if ECA and those language tests are not needed for application, they do ask for them frequently and so they will already have them).
4. Make your travelling list. that is something that you have to fill in together with your personal history (similar like for OINP) and adress history. From that list you will be able to identify all needed PCC.
4. prepare all your PCC (excet the one from your current country). Make sure to consult CIC webpage in order to check what exactly is needed from which country (they were some rejections because incorrect PCC was forwarded). If you need one that will take too long to get you need to make application and add explanation about the leadtime of it or that you were rejected.
5. medical - this one I do advice only to do after you get your nomination
6. when sending your application add also Schedule 4 - intent to reside in the province. You will add it as a scan together with your LOE. Again, they do ask for that one frequently.
7. if you choose to pay your RPRF together with the application fee, that might also help with the delay, where they will be waiting for those fees.
other than that there is nothing much else you can do to speed up your application.
You will soon join the others that are waiting every day for any change in their application and counting days and other things.
