hey, wht # did u call them> i will be callign them tomorrow morning, my app was received on sep 8 but bank draft still has not been cashed n i sent them an email 14 days ago no reply so far, its been 3 months now since i sent my app n no response :s

FYI all I called CIC about an hour ago and they told me that the cap HAD NOT BEEN REACHED. They asked me to fill out a bug report.

But, it seems as though some people had been told the cap HAD been reached.

I stressed to the guy how important this was, and confirmed that he was not simply using the website as a resource. He confirmed that he had used other sources to confirm this.

However, I'm not sold, in fact I am *censored word*ting my pants.

Applications Recieved Before Expess Entry -Re: September 2014 - CEC Applications

Hi Everyone,

I came across this thread in the last two hours or so. Seeing the last few posts particularly on the Express Entry I decided to do a little digging and share what I found. To clarify, I am applying for CEC and sent my application in September (this is what drew my interest to this thread), so I am in the same boat as pretty much everyone here. From what I found, as long as you submitted and CC was charged then (a) you fell within the cap and (b) your application will be processed according to the laws in place at the time your application was received (see below). Correct me if I am wrong, but I think CC only gets charged when an officer has determined that your application is considered complete enough to proceed to processing.

Anyway, thought I should add my two cents to the conversation. I hope it helps and correct me if I am wrong

By the way, the posts on this thread and quite entertaining

Cheers folks!!

7. What will happen to permanent residence applications you receive before the launch of Express Entry?

Applications received by CIC before the launch of Express Entry will be processed according to the rules in place at that time.

Guidelines for processing new and existing FSW, FST and CEC applications
All FSW, FST and CEC applications will be considered according to the date they are received at the CIO. In calculating the overall and occupation-specific caps, applications will be considered by the CIO according to the date of receipt and in accordance with routine office procedures.

MI12 does not apply to FSW, FST and CEC applications received before May 1, 2014. All FSW, FST and CEC applications received by the CIO before this date shall continue to be considered for processing subject to the program requirements and Ministerial Instructions in effect at the time of application receipt.

The CIO will assess FSW, FST and CEC applications received on or after May 1, 2014, against the criteria described in MI12 to determine whether the application is eligible for processing. The CIO will make a final determination of eligibility for processing. Applications that receive a negative eligibility determination at the CIO will be returned to the applicant and fees will not be collected. If the CIO makes a positive eligibility determination, the application will be placed into processing and the applicant will no longer be eligible for a refund. (So, I believe if your CC has been charged, you are within the cap)

In all cases, applications placed into processing are still subject to the requirements of the FSW Program, the FST Program and the CEC, and all other applicable requirements under the IRPA.

Instructions for processing CEC applications

Complete CEC applications received by the CIO on or after May 1, 2014, whose applicants meet the language threshold set by the Minister for each language skill area (speaking, oral comprehension, reading and writing), for their occupational skill level; that do not exceed the caps set out above; and whose applicants are not claiming work experience only in one or more of the six ineligible occupations listed above in support of their application, shall be placed into processing.

cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2014/ob572.asp

Limit on the number of CEC applications to be processed

A maximum of 8,000 new, complete CEC applications will be considered for processing for the period of May 1, 2014, until April 30, 2015, unless otherwise indicated in a future Ministerial Instruction.

Applications received on the same date will be considered for processing having regard to routine office procedures." taken from; gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2014/2014-04-26/html/notice-avis-eng.php#d107_a



DECEMBER 1 2014 UPDATE

Instructions for managing certain permanent resident applications in the Economic Class:
Federal Skilled Worker Class, Federal Skilled Trades Class, and Canadian Experience Class

These Instructions repeal, as of January 1, 2015, the Ministerial Instructions issued pursuant to section 87.3 of the IRPA and published in the Canada Gazette on April 26, 2014, for the management of applications in the Federal Skilled Worker Class, Federal Skilled Trades Class, and Canadian Experience Class. For greater clarity, the repeal does not affect the processing of applications received prior to January 1, 2015, and considered under previous Ministerial Instructions issued pursuant to section 87.3, including the Instructions published in the Canada Gazette on April 26, 2014.

What are the chances that they haven't issued aor's but on our file indicates there is positive eligibility because they have cashed or charged the payment?
I feel as it's getting into December now and I can't buy any time on my bowp because they are probably gonna open it within the next 2 weeks I'm hoping they at least acknowledge on my file they have charged it or something. Any thoughts?

did you apply bowp with or without aor? And on what date did they receive your file.

 

[yokies]

My question was general not specific to me even though I wanted to know for myself too. Let me rephrase if it helps. if aor's have not been issued for people in August yet and none in Sep, do you think cic keeps a record on file to state file was good and payment was cashed so that when they open up people's bowp application they can see payment was cashed? I'm thinking whether they are just not issuing aor's anymore because it's time consuming or whatever the case is.

 

[yokies]

did you apply bowp with or without aor? And on what date did they receive your file.

I did apply with no aor paper form as I had no choice. Received on Oct 28th. But timelines now make me think i won't receive an aor in time.

i have heard that they pick your file few days may 7 to 8 days before they will give you bowp...
