Hi girl,
Do let us know about their reply to your mail about receipt of test results.
Well, preliminary review is done by BIQ when ur file gets its turn for review by IO.
Here they calculate the overall points scored by applicants and if they need, they send notices for additional requirements within stipulated time frame such as updated language test results should be sent to them within 60 days, or work certificates in original must be submitted within 60 days.
So, in short, preliminary review is the immediate step before interview call.

@mkshah
first of all thanks for ur quick response. secondly, i updated my file details in the time tracker( the link that u sent)as u had requested me to. i must say dats a great idea cuz it gives other ppl an idea about how long their processing might take. thirdly, i understood what a "preliminary review" is ..thanks for explaining it to me but, i have a small doubt here..u said they will send notices for additional requirements which has to be sent to them within stipulated time right...i got such type of a letter dated " 16th march 2012" which specifically asked me to send my french and ielts marks within the next 6 months else they will be obligated to close the file.. so i sent my french and ieltsmarks in may as soon as i received them..it reached the BIQ hk office on " 10-5-2012".please can you tell me if this is a preliminary review and if this means that they have already calculated my points or is it something else? and yes, i will surely keep you informed once i get the reply from BIQ hk...waiting for ur reply.

@miss.02
you can actually apply for PNP(provincial nominee program). u will get it much faster in this program when compared to QSW as u r currently in canada . also, try and convince the emplyer to make u permanent. taht way ur chances r much better. check this link out and read the info under saskatchewan program. http://www.canadavisa.com/provincial-nomination-program.html.

you have lots of options
-make urself a permanent worker
-better chances of a PR as u r havinga canadian degree
-have work ex in saskatchewan.

i have seen cases where ppl got a PR under the PNP within 9 months. also,, in the PNP program i heard British columbia PNP is the fastest.

News Release — Minister Kenney Hits the Reset Button: Sets the Foundation for New, Faster, More Flexible Immigration System

Calgary, June 28, 2012 — Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney today announced the latest step in re-designing Canada's economic immigration system.

Effective July 1st, 2012, Citizenship and Immigration Canada will place a temporary pause on new applications to the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) and federal Immigrant Investor Program (IIP).

“We have been making lots of changes to our economic immigration system,” said Minister Kenney. “We will take the next six months to do a lot of the heavy lifting to get us closer to a fast and flexible immigration system.”

The pause will allow CIC to make important changes to its economic immigration programs before accepting more applications. This is an important step in moving towards a faster, more flexible immigration system, while immigration levels are at a historic high.

Since the launch of Canada's Economic Action Plan 2012, Minister Kenney has announced a series of changes to CIC's economic immigration programs. They include:

>> eliminating the backlog of old FSWP applications;
>> improving the selection of FSWs;
>> creating a new Federal Skilled Trades Program;
>> modifying the Canadian Experience Class to help transition successful skilled temporary workers to permanent residence;
>> changing business immigration programs to target more active investment in Canadian growth companies and more innovative entrepreneurs; and
moving towards a new application management system, to develop a pool of skilled workers who arrive in Canada ready to begin employment.

“This temporary pause on new Federal Skilled Worker applications will allow us to set the program on a new course as we intend to launch revised selection criteria soon,” said Minister Kenney. “The pause has no impact on the number of workers Canada admits into the country, as CIC continues to process applications already received. Current immigration remains at historically high levels.”

Application intake is expected to resume in January 2013, when the proposed FSWP regulatory changes – which will be published in the Canada Gazette in the coming months – are expected to come into force.

The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act allows the Minister to issue special instructions to immigration officers to enable the Government of Canada to best attain its immigration goals. Since the 2008 Action Plan for Faster Immigration, four sets of “Ministerial Instructions” have been issued relating to Economic Class applications.

Under this fifth set of Ministerial Instructions, CIC will also introduce a pause on new federal IIP applications. This pause will remain in place until further notice, allowing the Department to make progress on processing its existing inventory.

As Minister Kenney announced earlier in April, CIC will be consulting with provinces, territories and stakeholders on ways to reform the current IIP in order to maximize the economic benefit to Canada. The Department is also consulting on whether to create a new investor program on a short-term basis, to promote growth in the Canadian economy.

The temporary pause on FSWP applications does not apply to candidates with offers of arranged employment or those applying under the PhD eligibility stream. The full set of Ministerial Instructions will be available online in the Canada Gazette tomorrow.
