Hi,
According to SINP website, the processing times are calculated using the average time used in treating applications in the last quarter (eg Oct, Nov, Dec 2019). see extract below:
International Skilled Worker
The SINP's goal is to process all International Skilled Worker and Saskatchewan Experience applications within sixteen weeks. In order to process an application, we must have all information and supporting documents.
SINP Category | Quarter 3 - 2019-20
(Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, 2019)
Measured in weeks |
Employment Offer | 4 weeks |
Occupation In-Demand | 32 weeks* |
Express Entry | 25 weeks* |
*Note that the above processing times do not include time awaiting additional information from applicants or time spent under program integrity review, if required. Applicants who have been requested to submit additional documentation may experience an additional 3 to 4 weeks to the posted processing times.
I also submitted on Dec. 18, 2019 and still on AR but according to feed backs from others on the platforms, it is clear now that they are in full gear now attending to applications. infact it is obvious that they are now treating early December batch, though applications are case specific.
i have couple of applicants been given nomination within last week alone and all had submitted between late Nov. 2019 and early Dec. 2019
So keep fingers crossed and expect positive response soon.
