SINP processing time

[Poli]

Hello, my name is Walter and I've applied for SINP in November 2011 and I haven't hear anything since then. Does anybody know how long this process take?
Thank you

I was under the impression that the application would be processed within a few weeks (eg 6-12 weeks). I know someone that had this experience, however I have heard of a lot of people having far longer waiting times. I don't know why there is this difference between different people's experiences.
We are just about to submit our application so I will report back when we get a response/approval.

However you applied a LONG time ago & I would definitely chase it up, but I don't know how you should go about doing this, sorry.

Hi Walter,

We applied for SINP (Skilled Worker) November 2011 and like you, have not heard anything. The only bit of information we recently received was that my employer in Canada had a phonecall to verify the job offer etc, but that was 5 weeks ago now.

The wait is a nightmare.

What category have you applied under and what is your country of residence? Did you apply yourselves or use a consultant. We are from the UK and used a consultant based in Regina, SK.

Lets hope we hear soon!!!

I am wondering if the job category & your country of origin may have some affect on the processing times?

Thank you everybody,
I've applied for a Skilled Worker category through a lawyer in Vancouver ( I didn't apply from my country "Argentina"). When i called the SINP immigration office they told me that my file is in process.

Hi everybody,

I also applied in March 2011, had a document update in June or July 2011, sponsor's call in Feb 2012 but havent heard anything since then!

I really do wonder who's filling up the Sask quota?!!!

Did all of the people you heard off apply in Saskatchewan? Saskatchewan is the province with the longest waiting times on PNP; minimum of 8 months these days and only if you're really lucky. Its only being processed quicker if you already have a work permit with LMO.
In other provinces it can take as little as a month.

Just to update..we submitted the SINP application online & within about 8 days received a request for further documentation/clarification. We submitted these within the next week, then waited less than a week to receive the Visa approval. So all together it was about 3 weeks, but half of that time was spent with being told to/ sorting out the additional documentation.
This is WITH a valid job offer, but the actual work visa will be applied for at arrival (immigration in Toronto airport).

This is almost identical to our friends' experience.

Are you talking about saskatchewan immigration nominee program? Your timeline and those of your friends don't match anyone elses timelines. it takes about three months alone for the employer to get registered (new requirement) before the employee can apply for SINP. how long did that part take for you? Or did you apply before may?

Hi poli

I think average processing time for sinp skilled worker varies from 15 to 18 months for nomination's only and add 8 to 10 extra months for CIC
