Judging by CICs track record I wouldn't get your hopes up.curious_123 said:I really hoped we will come to know something before 12 noon today..the hope is fading away now... please for god sake..say something...why are you not talking to me...did i do anything wrong?
The Canada Gazette is already published and there is nothing about express entry draws in ministerial instruction. I think since the Job match facility is not working, the draws won't happen soon. The Idea of the whole Express entry is to invite people who do not struggle in settling down and they already have a direction in way of Job or Provincial Nomination. That's my perception....but only CIC knows what it is uptocurious_123 said:I really hoped we will come to know something before 12 noon today..the hope is fading away now... please for god sake..say something...why are you not talking to me...did i do anything wrong?
I wouldn't expect CIC to announce anything right now. The draw has been postponed to an undetermined date. Probably they are buying themselves some time to finalize the rest of applications submitted in December and they are tweaking the system. Moreover, I believe they wanna give some time for the pool to get bigger and to choose the most competent applicants.
Honestly, I am not happy with the fact that they didn't meet their deadline, and they didn't even come up with an announcement explaining the whole situation and giving the applicants a timeline they would expect their applications to be assessed at. The act gives the impression that they have no obligation whatsoever to any rules, that is why all of us are disappointed.

Totally agree. But again, until yesterday they were replying to tweets and saying draw will happen before the end of month. If they weren't sure, they wouldn't even have replied to the tweets. May be they wanna do the draw at midnight to let majority of people chance. This is so confusing, because they clearly mentioned that they'll release the details of each draw beforehand. Haven't got a clue what's going on. Whatever it is, it is just so frustrating.doc_mady said:
I'm not happy either. It's not clean on their part and I thought they had better standards.
But keep in mind immigration is not a right we have. They are choosing to open their country to us, but there is nothing they have to do. If they want to close EE and FSW right now, they can. Ministerial instructions have that power.

I agree with you... Also, it is a bit unprofessional from their side not to give public notice - "draw is postponed, we will come shortly with new information", and that is it...doc_mady said:
However - I also believe pool is too small, much smaller than expected, and there are still loads of FSW pending... I can see Vienna office (the slowest one) is issuing PERs heavily, so they are cleaning up the tail first for sure...
Also, I am not expecting the draw to be announced before end of February... However, I expect a public notice from country like Canada - this silence would not even happen in the banana-state I am living at... It is embarrassing, at least...
It is unprofessional. But I would expect that from the banana-state I'm living inboske83 said:
.Just a correction: it's not the VO that issues PERs. It's the CIO. And yes, FSW2014 will run slower once EE kicks in.
But there will be some time before the application reaches the VO. At least 2 months I expect. The thing is, with EE you have to submit MR + PCC + RPRF upfront. And that's going to save a lot of time at the VO stage.
And they are not committed to handle PRs within 6 months. Their promise is 80% of applications within 6 months.
Got an email form CIC this morning saying my Application(EE*********) has been updated please sign check your mycic account and check your application status and messages for more information. I logged in and dont see any changes! Anyone else received any email?
