Hello Damocles,
Thanks for making me feel important
I'll try to come up with the next steps, docs to keep ready etc. ASAP.
The first item on my list is:
1. Patience (a lot of it!)
No, seriously, I'll come up with something really soon. Seems that we have lot's of time anyway!
Well, I always value your contributions and think they always meaningful and helping other to better position themselves in this application process. You are right, we need a lot of patience.
Today, I tried to venture a bit in other forums to get a feel of the process from other perspective and I was quite pleasantly surprised that you were very active in many of them, not just the French-Speaking Skilled Workers Stream. So is Aal_. Hence I assume that you might have some insight that you can share to benefit the rest of us. We will also have to contribute and be assured that the task is not going to be left to you alone.
I couldn't help noticing that, although the December group is 70% nominate (41/73 in their forum ) and the December group @ 30%(37/121 in their forum), the January group is huge( 178 members with 144 awaiting Nominations). The Feb group is also big :127 applicants with 109 AORs waiting for nominations. The March group is not that big but is definitely larger than ours : 63 members with 55 awaiting Nominations. A lot of these applicants have their process being delayed by additional document requests while others get their nomination relatively quicker without any document request. the delay can amount up to 3 weeks in certain situations after submission of the requested documents. This exclude the delay incurred in compiling the requested documents . => approximately 280 candidate before all the candidates in our group (Without counting those outside of forums) cannot be processed in less than 7 weeks at the current pace (record day was 20-Oct-16 with 8 Nominations) . We might just have accept that the journey is still long.
We going to certainly have a long wait. It will be nice to shorten the last part of the journey by being prepared now(and even pre-empting OINP if possible) by getting the types of document requested ready (those that we can) and not panic when they request the to be submitted in two weeks. Imagine if we could all receive the nomination in a raw without additional document request. Maybe that would make the job of the officers easy and the might just be delighted to expedite the process. I am counting on that.
vensak is also very active and keep the forum alive. Thank you for that and keep it up.
For my next list update, I am thinking to focus only on the applicants that have already submitted their documents @ OINP and awaiting for AOR and/or Nomination. Those still in the process will be removed from the list and only updated when we are sure that their applications have been received @OINP . This can give us a correct idea of the the progress in our stream's applications. I might keep a separate list for those intending to join the process (awaiting for PT ) those with a NOI and in the process of submitting their applications can still be part of the list so as not to make them feel excluded from our forum.
