Canada Immigration 2005 Cases Processing Time

The Immigration time for previous Canadian Immigration cases has been decreased after the appointment of minister Kenney in October 2008. Minister kenney is extensively working on reducing the backlog of Canadian Innigrants who applied in the year 2004, 2005 and 2006.
Canadian Government is very keen to facilitate Prospective Immigrants. Thats why Canada is taking positive steps towards processing time of Immigration. This time raised to 5 to 6 years when it comes to countries like India, Pakistan and Philippines in past processing criteria. But now the change has been made. Canadian Government also reduced the minimum IELTS score for Immigration purpose to get maximum 16 points of Canadian Immigration.

  28. Why don't you take decisions on the immigration cases under the old system, so that we can think about other things in life.... you have asked us to submit our originals documents at the time of updation and they are with you for two years now.... don't you think i would require them for other purposes.

    i am just tired of waiting, but i know that this is all a joke for you. just take decisions on our cases and let us know so that we can go on with our lives

    I have filed for permanent residency in Canada as federal skilled worker in 2004 May. I got my file No. in August 2004. As per their requirements, I submitted my updated documents in Nov, 2008. Since then I have been waiting for their decision sine die. As CIC has introduced new rules from 26th June 2010, Would it help me or others like me who have been waiting painfully for more tha 6 years to get a decision for medical this year (2010) itself or early 2011?

  86. Dear Comrade,

    I have applied in jan 2005 under skilled worker category from Islamabad Pakistan. My file number status is not available online and after inquiring through email i got following message from Islamabad:

    As of April 1, 2010, applications for permanent residence under the Economic categories for citizens or residents of Pakistan will be processed by our office in London, UK. The economic categories are comprised of Federal skilled Workers, Federal Investors, Self-Employed, Entrepreneurs, Provincial Nominees and Quebec-selected Permanent Workers and Business People. Although Islamabad will continue processing a few applications that are close to completion, the majority are being transferred to London. The file transfer of existing permanent residence applications under the Economic categories is currently underway.

    We, the Islamabad Office, are not updating your file or adding any information to your file in response to your email.

    However, the information below may be useful to you:

    If you have received instructions from our office in Islamabad to submit documents, please submit the documents to our mission in Islamabad as instructed.

    If you have received instructions from CIO Sydney to submit your application package, please submit these documents to our mission in London. If you have already submitted your application package to Islamabad, then Islamabad will automatically forward this on to London.

    If you are enquiring if your application has been transferred and will be processed in London, please be advised that the London Office will contact you when they are in a position to begin processing your application. We regret that neither our office nor London office is able to provide status updates at this time. You may wish to resend your enquiry after November 2010 to the London Office.

    At this point, it is too early to tell what the new processing times will be for these cases in London.

    We thank you for your patience during this transition period and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum.

    Can you tell me what will be next step now? and any idea how long it will further take. Thanks!

  89. Dear Comrade Sir,

    I came to know from newspaper that a Writ Petition is filled against new rules (26 June 2010) of CIC from Canadian Lawyers. Canadian Lawyer filed a Petition that IELTS should not be compulsory for those People whom mother tongue is English and who are migrating from English spoken countries. Is it true?

    If it is true, Will it delay cases of 2004 & 2005(Old cases) which were going to be decided fast by the CIC, after New rule.

  111. Dear comrade sir,This is preetinder from india. only yesterday cic has revised the time required for immigration for pre feb applicants from new delhi. it has increased time from present 80 months to 90 months. it has hurt me very bad and has been feeling depression thinking if my dream of going to canada will be fullfilled in near future or not.Pl comment what is the latest situation based upon new time lines of 90 months and when mid 2004 will get medicals.

    Thanks and Regards

    ReplyDelete
  112. Dear preetinder,
    Dont worry on that. This is only due to a junk of post feb 2008 applicants.

    As per decesion made on 26 june 2010, now the primary focus is backlog applicants thats why they have limited the figure of new applicants to 20,000 annually.

    On the other hand the total figure of annual immigrants will remain 265000.

    It means that 265000-20000=245000. If we exclude students and other categories from 245000 than the figure comes to approx 170,000. So approx 170,000 backlog applicants will be processed each year.

    Dont u worry please on this increase in time because it will be decreased very speedily

  119. Dear comrade sir, I think you are missing some thing . As per new time lines at new delhi website they have increased the time lines from 80 months to 90 months. will it be possible for cic to issue medicals to all 2004 applicants within available quota in 2010.
    CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN THE REASONS OF CIC TO EXTEND THE TIME LINES TO 90 MONTHS WHEN THE NEW APPLATIONS ACCEPTANCE HAVE BEEN STOPPED WITH AN ANNUAL CAP OF 20000 ONLY.

    ReplyDelete
  120. I explained that it is an approx data based on history-not on future.
    As per my opinion, 2004 applicants will be covered till mid 2011.

    The 20000 cap on new applicants will work for backlog applicants

  121. Thanks Mr Comrade. I wish your words come true for all of us, 2004 backloggers. Let us see whether Rule of natural justice pervails in canada or not.

  125. Dear Nirmal,
    Its hard to give any estimate about 2004 applicants but 35% of 2004 applicants have already applied in new system (Post Feb 2008). So the actual quantity of 2004 backlog applicants has been decreased

  140. Dear Jotbinder , your case seems to be little confusing. When did you sent orizinally your application to cic? If in May then why did you recd aor in Nov, so late. Have you applied through consultant. if so then your application might have been sent little late probably in the month of sept or oct,which you might not knowing. If your file starts with No B0474 then you are a case of sept 2004. Pl clarify what are your initial three digits of file.

  146. hi comrade.

    my name is tayyab and i am from pakistan, my mother applied for immigration in jan, 2005 and got the file number in march, 2005. I have a different kind of question.. my age was 17 at that time and now i am 23 i have completed my engineering a year ago and i wanted to apply for master studies in Canada, so i waited all this year but if i want to apply to the September 2011 session the deadline are January 2011.. which means if i waited one more year i will lose three important years of my career.
    So i decided to apply on a student visa, and if a get the visa i would go but some one told me that it will bring a negative point to your family file and may be if your family gets the immigration you will be exempted from it because there will already a be student visa on your passport and to get a student visa you have to show a bank statement of 40 lacks rupees. He said that by doing this they will think that your are self dependent but as your mother is your main applicant then her children have to show them self dependent on their parents.
    Please REPLY as i m in a big puzzling situation.

    ReplyDelete
  158. Dear Anonymous,
    The processing of CIC was slow because CIC was dealing 2 simultaneous streams of applicants between 28 feb 2008 and 26 june 2010.

    As per new policy there is a cap on new applicants (20,000) and old applicants' processing will boost up because canada will not reduce its target of new immigrats every year. i.e. 265000

  167. Respected Sir/Madam,

    I Mr. Kaushik Patel is PR Applicant from old case. I have applied to PR to Canada from india in Jan 2005 & my AOR is March 2005. I have updated my documents in Feb 2009. Till date there is no response from new delhi embassy.

    I want to know what exactly is planning of Govt. of Canada to clear this backlog.

    They are really interested to clear backlog.

    What exactly is the analysis of CHC New Delhi regarding old applicant process

    Why new delhi timeline is increasing from 72 month to 80 month & now from 80 month to 90 month. Mention the misleading information on the website about the processing time as it gives an impression that the future processing time would be more or less the same.

    Why does the New Delhi and the Canadian site differ in the processing times?

    Why are new priority processing rules allowed to come and go without processing the long waiting applications.


    Please help or give some hint about processing been done at new delhi .
    Thanks

    Kaushik Patel
    India

    ReplyDelete
  168. Mr Kaushik, the policy of Mr kenney, The minister of canada is such that the time lines will go on increasing untill you withdraw your application or get demised. Only this is the way with him to get rid of you and other thiusands of applicants. His intention is not in favour of backloggers. CIC is only showing crocodilles eyes with no output for last 7 years.

    ReplyDelete
  169. And this unnecessary and discriminatory delay in processing the 2004 applications is having direct impact on the applicants including their dependents both in terms of disturbed planning for future and on their mental as well as physical health. This is the right time that cic start acting favourably and atleast clear 2004 applicants. JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED. ALL HUMANS ARE EQUAL IN THE EYES OF GOD. GOD IS ONE AND ONLY ONE.THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY DISCRIMINATION WHAT EVER MAY BE THE REASON OR SITUATION.

  177. Comrade sir, that means cic will not process 2004 cases till April 2011 and in fact backlogged cases of fast track will be cleared in 2010. Is nt it in humanity and discrimination towards 2004 applicants?We have learnt that rule of law pervails in canada then why justice is not being given to old applicants. cic is well aware that we old applicants cant do any thing to get our cases fastened but that does nt means that cic acts in such a rigid manner. see many of us have been waiting our turn for seven years and this have disturbed our important decsions of life.we are realy very frustrated by this delay in processing our files.

  184. File it and Forget it!!
    Canadian Immigration makes applicants wait for 7 years
    * Illegal immigrants catch the next flight, Legal immigrants wait for 7 years.
    * Applicants of June 2003 still waiting for their visas.
    * Applications from India taking double the time from those of China and many other
    countries.
    * Crores of Rupees collected as application fees from old applicant lying with Delhi
    Embassy.
    * New Delhi Visa Officers not processing old applications, keep on increasing processing
    times. Is this a part of the undisclosed policy to discourage immigrants from India?
    Chandigarh, India, September 06, 2010: Applicants who had applied for immigration under Federal
    Skilled Workers (FSW) Class in June 2003 and onwards i.e. Pre-Feb 2008 have come together
    online and have formed a forum to highlight their plight as they have been forced to wait for more
    than 7 years, without any fixed time-line for a decision on their cases.
    Such long processing times dissuade legal immigration and creates a congenial
    atmosphere for crooked immigration Consultants and Agents to lure would-be immigrants
    by promising them faster immigration, based on forged and fraudulent documents.
    Addressing this issue of backlog, would be a step towards taking anti-fraud initiatives
    against these scamsters and unlawful Agents.
    There is a huge disparity in the processing times of various countries. Let's consider our neighbor
    China, for a moment. China caters as much as India does to the immigrant pool of Canada, but has
    the processing time of 41 months, against 90 months of India. Does this imply that the processing in
    India is slow NOT because the Canadian embassy in India has to process more applications, but
    because Canada wishes to discourage immigration from India?
    The old applicants were given an impression that the future processing times would be more or less
    the same as of past, which were 33 months at the time of filing the applications. These have been
    extended every now and then, and currently stand today at 90 months, an UNBELIEVABLE 200%
    increase!
    New priority processing rules like "Fast Track" are allowed to come and go without processing the
    long waiting applications. This totally violates the promise made to old applicants that the
    "applications will be processed in order they are received" Why are the old applicants being
    discriminated against for none of their fault? Is that what the Canadians mean by imparting justice
    and being fair? Further, now that even the "Fast Track - 1" with 38 occupation list has been scrapped
    and there is a "New Fast track" with 29 occupation list, further increasing the backlog. Is this not
    playing with the future of the applicants as it suits Canadian market demands? Does the Canadian
    Immigration Department not have any foresight? Can they not plan the intake of applications a year
    or two in advance?
    Has the Canadian government taken into the fact that the applicants who were medically fit at the
    time of application may not remain so after 7 to 10 years, and how does it intend to deal with such
    cases? Will they be simply rejected because now after waiting all this time, they turn too old to meet
    the strenuous medical standards?
    The two official websites of the Canadian Government give misleading information, giving two
    totally different processing times for the same application category. One showing 76 and the other
    90 months. On inquiry we get a automated generic reply that your application is in a queue.
    What is the real reason for the long processing times? Is it only because of lack of resources at the
    processing departments? If so the application fees should have the provision to employ more staff
    for processing.
    We will also urge Minister Kenny by submitting a memorandum to resolve our long pending issue
    related to the ever stretching visa application processing times and the long delay caused by the
    Canadian Embassy in Delhi.

  185. Even If cic thinks that few %age of applications will be taken back or some change their mind to immigrate, cic still have a backlog of many applications which they have to process even after a delay of 100 months as there are more thn 90% of applicants who are in the age group of 40 and they will never surrender before the ill wills of cic. what will cic do then even if one applicant went to court in india citing reason of fallen health as cic delay in processing and demanded huge compensation in return to unwanted long harrasment and mental torture in the hands of cic?Such problems may have to be faced by cic and how to tackle these problems and find solutions ,is a big question.
