Hi Guys,
I have drawn two conclusions behind the new system and document checklist..
A) One reason could be that, earlier there were no sponsor interview regarding our whereabouts at PNP level (up until two years ago when my sister and her husband and then later on when her husbands brother also applied, they did not have a sponsor interview), based on the documents provided, they used to give nomination letters. But now almost every case has a sponsor interview and they find out about our complete whereabouts which is a form of verification and randomly they even call our employers to verify our employment (not for everyone, but I have come across people in this forum who had their employers contacted by MPNP and AINP before and after sponsor interview). So the new rule could be because, unlike FSW, we are being nominated by a province and the province is nominating us based on the verification they have done, so Federal Government going through our documentation all over again is double work, so because of that they probably dont require us to send those documents again as they already know we qualify and they are only focusing on our medical and security checks, so if that is the case, as mentioned in the website, sending the documents to the CIO would definitely speed up the process.
B) The second reason could be that, CIO is not processing our documents, they only do a quality check of all the documents and probably responsible of doing overseas security checks and take care of the application processing fees and so on to make sure that the concerned visa office are reduced with the burden of issuing additional document requests and so on and just focus on verification and issue of MR and PPR and visa stamping. So, if that is the case, if CIO feels that the documents are complete and they forward our application to the concerned visa office, then once the visa office starts processing our application, they may request for our transcripts and employment documents during verification or may not request for one and then comes MR and PPR.
Based on these two assumptions, I do hope and prefer it is the first one, which would make things a lot more easier and faster for all of us.
Ok guys, so since I am not an immigration officer, whatever stated above is just an assumption based on what I have seen and experienced both personally and from what others have said on this forum, so please dont think that this is what is going to happen ok ..
Please pool in your thoughts too.. Cheers
