MKshah, Vick Rocks,mademalli & all other seniors....
I feel we need to further understand llink posted by mkshah......as per the CIC targets VISA office wise Asia has lowest number of QSW visas alloted 1100 compared to Europe & Africa...
CIC QSW Visa target for 2012
New delhi 100 :-X
HK 300
Beijing 600
Low QSW VISA's alloted for Asia and i have following queries....
1.If we are considering 14000 applications cap for Group 2, we also need to take into count the VISA numbers mentioned by CIC on their website.if we consider that New Delhi will get 500% more QSW Visa's alloted by CIC against their plan or projected visa number from New delhi in 2012 the number will be still 600 in total...which is less...
2.Considering low allocation of VISA's to Asia and to New delhi, most of the these 100 alloted VISA's will be consumed by Group 1 applicants as they have priority processing done by BIQ HK. Chances of Group 2 applicants getting CSQ will be very less.
3.It is also mentioned on CIC website that, if a particular BIQ/Processing centre has more load of applicantions they have a software system Global case processing sys, allot case processing to any other processing centre in the world. pasting some of the infor from CIC website....They are delaying processing for Group 2 applicants as a bck up plan & if they dont get enough applications falling under Group 1 then only they will consider Group 2.
Step 2: Establishing Operational Targets
In order to meet the targeted admissions set out in the Plan, CIC establishes what are known as “operational targets” across its processing network.
Several criteria are taken into consideration when allocating targets across the CIC processing network, including:
the inventory of applications and ongoing demand, by category;
the complexity of the applications, such as the need for medical or security screening;
resource constraints, including number of staff, office space, etc.;
immigration priorities as determined by the Minister;
backlog reduction strategies; and
CIC’s service standards.
With respect to overseas visa offices, the number of applications an office receives and its resource capacity play a vital role in determining individual targets. But with all the factors to be considered, targets are not always proportional to the number of applications a mission has. Over time, this can lead to processing times that vary from visa office to visa office in some immigration categories. CIC’s new Global Case Management System now allows us to transfer files seamlessly across our global processing network. This is making processing more efficient, helping us to meet our service standards and to make progress in reducing variations in processing times from visa office to visa office.
Our ability to move work around the network also means that increasingly, visa office targets are not a reflection of the number of admissions for any given region or country in the world, but rather an attempt to strike an appropriate balance among the criteria highlighted above".
4. knowing all these should we still have all our hopes of getting through in this rigid process or should we considering other country migration options which will save us time...
