It's not about countries guys ....it's the laziness and incompetency of cic ....they might have lost paper work of some applications ....one of my friend applied in October 2015 and he is still waiting for security...he applied again through express entry and recently got invitation to apply ...these people are suckers making money ....it cost 1500$ for each application and there is absolutely no reason for delay as all applications are similar ...their false Response that each application takes different time isn't right ...all my friends who applied to pr had similar applicaton as mine and they got their pr in 15-16 month ...we are all from Pakistan

80 % of applications are finalised in 15 months irrespective of your countries ...as far as security check is concerned it's the something they do when we come to Canada on student or visit visa ...it shouldn't take long because in that case they do it in few weeks not months ...and btw I am in Canada from last 5 years ...what security issues there can be ....I am in the fucking country what security checks they are running ...insane

guys u wont believe wt i heard from these agents when i called them....i am not sure if it was a slip of tongue or something.....they told me that there are other options of applying to PR as express entry and etc....and that the current applications will be carried over to the next year ....she didnt tell me a reason but in her conversation im feeling that she is trying to tell me that it is going to take another year to finalize......i insisted again as to what could be the reason....nd she told me that there are only 2-3 officers in sydney or other offices who takes care of all these files which are over 25000 applications.....nd that they have requested government to appoint more staff for processing these applications.....the government has rejected the plea nd said that it is over the budget.....

so in short that lady told me that the officers are on a kinda strike nd doing the application at their own pace.......processing, background checks, security, and finalizing are done all by these 2-3 officers who are present there. the government cannot abolish this category of skilled worker pnp paper based as this would effect their immigration standards and put their immigration down in the eyes of other nations.

i am a march 31 applicant.....im also going thru the same situation....guys if you have any option of applying under express entry go ahead and do it.......u can apply simultaneously along with the old PR application.....when one of the application finalizes go ahead and withdraw the other application. i know its expensive and time consuming and pain.....but it will be worth it......or if you dont want to then go ahead and wait......it might come someday, months or years......god knows.....

I don't think that's true. There is no way there is only 2-3 officers are working there

I am an April 18 ,2016 applicant and got my medicals done in Nov 16, after that I did not get any progress on my case . My 16 months period has also elapsed . Since many forum members have crossed 16 months , we should do collective efforts to bring fairness in the immigration system. The suggestion of ssc12 might be the first step .
