Just want to give hope to everyone;

Today I realised that I got nomination through my cic yesterday; with no ADR

Those under French stream, no need to worry, they will be lenient; relax

Congratulations!!!
 
Christina, fight your case. I'm sure you will get it as you are bilingual under French stream.

This is because yesterday they add an additional questions on my express entry profile (assume this is for all applicants pre-ITA).

That question asked which Canada's official languages English or French you feel more at ease.

Christina you just have to submit this additional simple defense to your case. Mention to them that you feel more at ease in French.

If you come from a Francophone or even Hispanic country (or any other language a bit similar like French), cherry on the cake!

You will get it, believe me.

I agree with Vensak that it is too early. It seems my application has moved an inch though, the status was 'submitted' one a month ago, and now it is 'assessment' since last week. Not quite sure if this means application is being processed!

Congratulation! Looks like things started to move for the French stream online applications.

Merci a tout le monde!

Yes, have hope.
 
Hi everybody
Damocles, have made an update of your tracking file? If yes, where can I find it?
Thanks a lot.
 
@ Elrud Thank you for comment and your concern.
Today we received my husband's IELTS results ( OINP had called me late FEb, and offered to hold a decision on my application until my husband takes the engish exam) and so we now score over 70/100 . So after this , I think I will receive a positive answer soon.

Still I am not sure I understand your proposition . Are you saying that applicants under the french stream should say that they are more at ease with French ?

I am sure, they will let you pass now Christina. All they needed is to make sure, that you will meet FSW criteria at the day of ITA (which you do now).

As for language. All you need is to cash your PNP with this French stream.
But you can choose English as language where you are more at ease (that is what I did - because of me being a bit out of practice with French also because to share with my husband).

And after I did it and still kept French as first language.
There was no problem with that and I have passed A11.2 in the CIO (now waiting for my LVO to move).
 
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.

Hi Emilie,

I have been a bit away from the forum due to some work load. I will update the tracking list and try to compile the list I promised during this weekend.

By the way, finally, my medical just passed today in my eAPR profile. It has been a long wait! :)
