For in-canada applicants would be due to closure of seatle and detroit offices
For outside applicants delays could be due to processing of FSW back logs , december holidays and a pile of applications that came in through the hols ..
Hopefully , we get processed faster
Hi,
CIC says applicants who applied to Seattle and Detroit, will now have their applications processed at NewYork and LosAngeles. Also FSW Backlog applicants, are getting refunds for their applications, I am one of them, only those who got nominated my a province, they said 600 people would be selected from each province (that was stated in their offer letter), would be processed Inland i.e by CPP-Ottawa or the VO responsible for their citizenship i.e country of birth. My application is being processed inland. They say they would fast track all 'FSW Pilot programs'. Also they are issuing OWP for certain 'PNP applicants' now. The bottom line is they are bringing in so many changes, I guess thats why the times have increased. Do not be disheartened by the wait times, there are a lot of applicants who have waited for almost 6 years now (FSW applicants), patience is the key and pray that all our files get picked up soon.
Last but now the least, this is the mail I received from CPP-O, it has some timelines, I do not know if its a generic email everyone gets but its something at least:
Your file has been transferred to this office in Ottawa for processing. It will be reviewed by one of our officers, with priority given to applications that were received at CIC before 1 September 2011.
How long will it take until I am likely to be contacted and/or updated by the Case Processing Office in Ottawa?
