Spreadsheet for PreJunes of New Delhi VO having "In Process with Date"

[kavya]

Probably with psychological pressure gone they will be able to work on our files better

I think it will speed up things

Yes

They were definitely working on backlog cases. I know a couple of them who got their visas in last 2 or 3 years.

Also it is not about the amount of files they can process, but the number of immigrants they can let in.

The approximate number of immigrants in Canada(in all streams) is 2.5 lakh.
There are waits everywhere in family category(especially for parents), business category, etc

The only way to reduce backlog will be to reduce the number of applications, which they started since June 2010.

They cound'nt be working concurrently ,had they been doing so the back log would not have been created at all

DBC, OMG, edmonta, kavya and others

It is too early to predict anything, I do fear same thing as DBC is but logic does not support it but than again I don't trust politicians.
Immigration minister is blaming previous government for backlog of approx 300000 but they still have MI -1 which almost 160000 and immigration minister him self is responsible for it. How come a doctor in MI-2 and MI-3 gets priority over a doctor in MI-1. It is important to note here that the reason behind different priorities is to manage the supply and demand of NOC candidate in canada. (does it make sense that a doctor in MI-1 is less in demand than MI-2, MI-3) biggest Bullsh**.

All ,

I think NVDO waiting for such announcements // now they are clear and may start Medicals for pre-junes which was already on hold since Jan2012.

this is just my assumption

 

[SandySurrey]

That's not fair for the people , who had been waiting since last 8-9 years for the Canadian PR. The reason Mr Kenney is so determine to eliminate the pre feb 2008 files as its been created by the Liberal government . This is a gross injustice done by the Mr Kenney , if this can happen to 300000 pre feb 2008 , it might happen to MI1 as well.

You say so

Thanks DBC,

Our process will speed up, but not due to psychological pressure of backlog, but because there shall be more seats available for us.

The thing is that Canada can only assimilate certain amount of immigrants for the whole immigration system to be profitable.
When new immigrants land in Canada they buy property and services, contribute to the taxes(which helps maintain social security etc) and fill up jobs. In short money circulates and hence the immigration system is profitable to canadian govt.

You are a financial manager, you have better understanding of it than me.

Also to be noted is that the average age of backlog applicants would have increased a lot, because of which they no longer fit the profile of ideal immigrant(at no fault of them).

The average age of immigrant family will no longer fit the ideal immigrant profile.

Canadian Immigration Minister Jason Kenney suggested Wednesday the possibility of legislating away Canada’s backlog of immigration applications.

"We’re looking at all options for dealing with these backlogs… It’s not fair to [applicants] and it’s not fair to our economy," said Kenney.

The federal government has already moved in this direction: according to the Montreal Gazette deals have been struck with eight provinces and territories to sort through the backlog of Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) applications to move qualified applicants (who are interested) to these province’s Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). Applicants will have to adhere to different criteria for each province, which can be different than the original qualifying criteria of the FSW applications.

According to the Globe & Mail, Minister Kenney described a vision of Canada moving towards an expressionist system, whereby "applicants would consent to having their application sifted by businesses and the provinces, to see who might be wanted where."

The gist of Kenney’s comments suggest the government aims to find ways to significantly reduce the government’s backlog of immigration applications, while providing a more responsive and quicker process in the future, especially to better match up potential immigrants with the provinces and employers who need them.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is selectively contacting applicants from the FSW program when they are eligible to be moved to a PNP program. For example, in the case of Ontario, some applicants from the following occupations are being contacted to see if they are interested in immigrating under the Ontario PNP:

NOC 2171 – Computer Analysts and Consultants
NOC 2173 – Software Developers
NOC 2174 – Interactive Media Programmers and Developers
NOC 1112 – Financial and Investment Analysts
NOC 2161 – Mathematicians

Other provinces may be dealing with the application process differently.


That does mean that, this is not like one night decision. Its been under process from couple of months to reduce backlog by all the mean and ways. What other thing I can see is that, they have communicated to those who are eligible for PNP program from pre feb

What to say?

 

[destinationBC]

Agreed

All ,

[destinationBC]

The Gist is

MI 1/2/3 are all brain child's of the present Immigration minister , Its a different world out there Ministers cannot say "oops" i made a Mistake Unlike there counterparts in the sub continent

they have to deal with the applications they sought

Since pre 8 applicants were not his problem for him so he was able to wash his hands off them

may not be easy for for post 2008 applicants

It is evident from the forum that all VO have started issuing medicals to Pre june applicants except NDVO

I am sure its a Matter Of days now before things start moving

Now what can we say for the reply got by this applicant from London VO.
He applied to CIO in March 2010, 1st AOR in May 2010 and full documents sent 6 Sept 2010.

All

FYI...............

My ecas status has been In Process since October 2011 with RBVO message. However, today 29-03-12 i received a letter from the London office confirming that my application...I quote.... "has been reviewed by an officer and found to be eligible for further processing. We anticipate to being able to advise you of the next processing steps in 6 to 12 month's time".

It went further and said...I quote..." please note that your application is still subject to admissibility checks and verifications that are deemed necessary. You should not take any irrevocable ations like.....sell your house, quite your job" etc....hahahaha (am not that a fooooolllll...lol).

But basically, it means that the completion time window for pre-june 2012 applicants is most likely to be March 2013.....according to this letter.

Which however suites me very well because i have other pressing projects to tackle.


Just FYI all...

cheers

 

[truthseeker4pr]

Precisely! this is what it's all about.
But, only fear is that since major backlog is gone, I just hope that he does not put MI-1 in to real backlog to push through his so called immigration overhaul which is due in next few months.

Minister Kenney proposes to assess foreign education credentials before skilled workers arrive​

Ottawa, March 28, 2012 – Canada is proposing a major change to how foreign skilled workers' education credentials are assessed, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced today.

The proposed new requirement would mean that applicants wanting to immigrate as Federal Skilled Workers would have their foreign education credentials assessed and verified by designated organizations before they arrive in Canada.

“Our Government is building an immigration system that is focused on economic growth and ensuring that all Canadians, including immigrants, are able to contribute to their maximum capacity,” said Jason Kenney. “By having their foreign education credentials assessed before their arrival to Canada, foreign skilled workers will have a better sense of how their credentials fit into the Canadian labour market and will be able to contribute their full skill set to the economy more quickly. This proposal is part of a broader package of transformational changes that will make Canada's immigration policies work better for the Canadian economy.”

A pre-arrival assessment would let applicants know how their education credentials compare to Canadian credentials and it will give immigrants a sense of how Canadian employers are likely to value their education. This will also screen out people without proper education levels and is an important step in helping to address the problem of immigrants arriving and not being able to work in their field.

The assessment of international educational credentials would not mean that Federal Skilled Workers would automatically find employment in Canada commensurate with their skills nor would it guarantee that they would become licensed to practice in a regulated occupation. Applicants who intend to work in a regulated profession would likely need to have their qualifications assessed in greater depth for purposes of licensure by a regulatory body specific to their profession and intended province of work.

“Internationally trained workers make an important contribution to Canada's job market and the economy,” added Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development. “That's why our Government is working in partnership to improve foreign credential recognition so that skilled newcomers can put their knowledge and skills to work sooner.”

Minister Kenney also used the occasion to release the 2011 Government of Canada Progress Report on Foreign Credential Recognition, Strengthening Canada's Economy. The annual report, led by the Foreign Credentials Referral Office, highlights achievements made by Citizenship and Immigration Canada , Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, and Health Canada to help foreign trained individuals integrate into the Canadian workforce.

Highlights of the report include:

•expansion of the Canadian Immigration Integration Program (CIIP), which is designed and managed by the Association of Canadian Community Colleges. CIIP currently offers pre-arrival orientation sessions in up to 25 countries, based on demand;
•an innovative assessment and bridging program to help internationally educated nurses meet regulatory requirements for licensure across Canada; and
•the launch of the International Qualifications Network Website for stakeholders to share information and best practices in credential assessment.
