Very encouraging piece of advice but funny as wellMogboy said:Amitsmeet,
Trust me, I am nothing if not sympathetic and I understand how hard it is to wait month after month with no positive response. But can you think of any other desirable country that does it better? It's not a miniscule task when you are dealing with about a million applicants.
I truly think you will be here way before you expect, so chin up and start packing. You will be a landed immigrant before you know it and a Canadian citizen in four years. Then like many other new immigrants you will probably be calling for a halt. Life is weird.
It looks very fine. Can we expect Information Act to advice us about all the recent directives/statistical reports?Mogboy said:Hopefully the final draft - it's ready to go:
"Any memos, directives or statistical reports sent to or from the New Delhi Visa Office in 2011 concerning economic classes 1111 and 0111 for applicants who filed between November 28th 2008 and June 25th 2010."
Will mail as soon as the system reopens. I hope that it is of help. Response time is 20 days but our mail, even when working tends to mirror the "third world" somewhat.
A great post indeed.....lot of encouragement for all of us (1111/0111). Thanks a lot Mogboy!!!Mogboy said:Amitsmeet
Looking at the figures over the past few years I would say that Canada has done a fantastic job of processing an amazing number of applications. It seems to me that there is no hold for any group, but that the newer job categories are treated as more of a priority since those are the jobs we need. M1 and M2 are still being processed as far as I can see. Canada does have a right to pick and choose whom it lets in and if it decides that your job category is no longer a priority I'm not sure you will get much public, political or judicial sympathy. Personally, I found the numbers encouraging.
I do feel that Canada could do a better job in explaining the assessment of qualifications and some people really are working at jobs way below their training. There are efforts underway politically to change this and to allow people such as doctors to get into their fields quicker.
I don't think many people go home, but I do think some struggle.
Some of the comments here would suggest that coming to Canada is a right, it's not, it's a privilege that many around the world would envy. All of you have already been accepted. All you have to do is be patient. Who says that no medical this year means you will not get in? I believe you will all be processed in due course but for heaven's sake give the process a break - it's overwhelmed.
