You applied in july ans started already complaining?? Some people applied 25 monts ago and they still waiting . Why you think trade category is more important than international students and skilled worker?
Processing time depends on the quota. For example they might distribute the 5500 certificates
X % EDS international students and skilled workers
Y % EDS post graduate
Z% Engineering and trade
etc
Now how fast the process an application is directly affected by how much people apply at the same category and the how much they need your job at current market situation.
The point is SRS-Trade has a different story which compare to EDS category. There were only 30 applicants in the waiting list in July. It has increased to 50 because they didnt process these applications after July. AINP approximatly issue 20 nominations a day, If AINP could issue only 1 nomination a day for Trade category, they should finish July's application already. What I am feeling bad is, they didnt work on trade category, and I dont know when they will start.
I can understand that waiting over two years is a kind of torture, but there are couple thousands people are waiting, the backlog is serious. How can you expect to get the decision quickly if you are not lucky enough?
I have three friends are eletrician and we all grudate at 2014. They applied in EDS international students toghter in Sept,2014. Two of them received nomination in 3 month. The unlucky one is still waiting and his work permit is expering.
