Dear Sir/Madam,
(System generated mail - that is why it is mentioned Sir/Madam instead of our names)
This is in response to your recent email enquiry to the Immigration Section of the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi.
circular message modified by New Delhi Office
Please be advised that if the applicant has (they should have mentioned "you have" instead of "applicant has") applied as a Federal Skilled Worker on or after February 27, 2008 and before June 26, 2010 , the application will take two years or more to be processed. This is due to the fact that Canada received over 425,000 applications (Canada received - not New Delhi ) under this program during this period, and 144,000 of these have not yet received a decision (Canda has not taken decision whether those applications are eligible for processing). This number represents more than twice the number of projected admissions under the federal skilled worker program in 2011, so many of these applicants will have to wait two years or more to be processed.
The applicants who have to wait for two years or more are those applicants whose applications are still in Canada pending for approval and not yet send to the processing country.
Those applications which were send to the India will be processed in 14 months period.
If you (applicants whose application are still in Canada) wish to withdraw your application, you may be eligible for a refund of your processing fees.
We trust that this information will be of assistance.
That is the circular message which was advised by Canada to circulate to the processing countries clients to avoid further applications being sent. New Delhi office wrongly send the same to applicants who asked for processing period request.

We are still within the quota and will be processed in 14 months period (average). Some may take 15-18 months.
Can you please tell us the source of the conclusions made at the end of the letter? And BTW why did you write those conclusions within the letter itself instead of writing it after the author of the said letter? I got quite confused trying to make out what was your own conclusion and what was part of the letter from CIC India.
