In December 2007, I applied for Permanent Residency under the Skilled Worker category.
I was very disappointed to receive a letter from my Immigration Attorney two weeks ago informing me of this queue !.
"We are pleased to inform you that we have received Acknowledgment of Receipt (AOR) from the Canadian High Commission in London, England. The number assigned to your file is *************.
The letter states: “Please note that because of the volume of applications in process at this office, you should not expect to hear from us for 42-48 months.” "
When I appointed my Immigration Attorney to process my application, I was under the impression that the whole process would take 2 - 4 years but it now seems I will have to wait 4 years before my application form is even picked up !.
