Canada has limited the number of immigration to 20,000 because of the huge backlog of those who applied before March 27, 2008. Even with elevated numbers of economic immigrants, Canada still receives numerous more applications than can be processed in an appropriate way. Consequently, the department is restricting the number of new applications it will think about in the federal skilled worker category every year.
Canada will carry on to welcome traditionally high numbers of immigrants, but Canada need to deal with the figure of new applications or hazard creating new backlogs and longer processing times. Minister Kenney said that they have more than an adequate amount of applications on hand now to fill lots of of our needs, and we want to be fair to those prospective immigrants who have been waiting the longest.
Congratulations to all applicants in Backlog.
Don’t forget to post your comments.

I am really happy for this decesion of Canadian Government. i am applicant of 2007. But hope that my wait will be end in coming days

A
Thank god that pre 2008 applicants are now remembered. i have waited for 4 years already.
I hope our application will be considered soonest.
i want to see the link where you got this
I hope they do. There was yet an immigration consultant who added that the old applications will be processed but at a slow rate and those(old applicants) who fall in the new NOC codes will have theirs processed faster. Mine does not appear in the new list, so here I go into hibernation again!
Dear Anonymous,
Source is defined
Dear A,
Your waiting time is reduced now
As per my opinion the pre 2008 backlog will be finished in coming 2 years
How about an applicant who is wailing for PPR?
DEAR KINDLY DISCLOSE THE SOURCE, I THINK THIS IS FAKE NEWS.
Dear Anonymous,
Here is the source
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/releases/2010/2010-06-26.asp
they have nowhere mentioned that applications prior to 2008 will be expedited.
i applied in april 2004.how much time my application will take now.
Bless God on this development, am July 2005, it's been a long wait, go so frustrated seeing people apply in 2008/2009 and have already landed .Good let them remember us and do it quickly I have to get out of here
Ina
i am the applicant of oct'2005, i was frustrated and gave up that nothing good was going to happen for me now...but after reading this news i am glad that still a ray of hope is exists....but have not heard about such news from anywhere....so little doubt,may be fake news..
I have applied in july 20o5 with my sister last week my sister went to canada but still i did not get any responce
whenever islamabad demand documents from old applicants,please inform to all of us by this page.all can understand the processing year in this way.thanks
i am an applicant of august 2004 applied for P.R. in canada from india .According to new list my occupation lies in it.Will it add wings to my file? plz reply.
dear Raman,
your wait is going to be finished so pursue your 2004 case instead of applying for a new one
It's good to know, they are doing something. I hope to receive up date on my 5 year old application this 2010.
This is supposed to be a good news. However, anybody sees actual implementation of new policy shift? I do not see any progress here in Korea where seoul office has stopped processing FSW since late 2009. Can anyone tell me if you see any progress somewhere else? I do hope things are moving again for old law applicants in Seoul.
hi Comrade!! i am March-2004 applicant. for how much more time we have to wait. its too frustrating. No Progress is visible till date of the new implementation of rule. Worst than Indian system.
Dear Anonymous,
Your turn is expected to come in late 2010
mine case is aug 2007,when my case will start
Dear DAVINDER SINGH,
Approx 2 years remaining. But the scenerio will be more clear in coming few months
hi comrade, m sending you the link..
http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/india-inde/visas/skilled_workers-travailleurs_qualifies.aspx?lang=eng
Please suggest when really my case would be solved as i applied mid march 2004.
thnx
Dear,
Yes the processing time of pre feb 2008 applicants has been increased due to a large number of applications of post feb 2008 applicants.
But after the decesion of june 26 2010, backlog applicants are on the priority and yhis time will reduce speedily
But comrade this link is updated few (2-3 days) back, lots after the declaration of june 26 rule. That means they are really taking this much time??
Dear,
Things are disturbed now in CHC because of junk of post feb 2008 applications. The procedure will be streamlined in coming months.
thnx for your reply comrade.
but at last can you plz tell me by your estimate or experience, by wht time i would get Visa.
i file my application on 15th march 2004.
Your case processing might be start in the end of this year. or perhaps the first quarter of 2011
They are more readily accepting applications and deliberately coming out with new rules and schemes for some dedicated financial benefit obviously. Who can think of new rules when already a backlog needs to be cleared. Why the hell they make new rules or even accept new applications if they are really determined to clear the backlog. Hell with Canada.
Hi, I applied for PR from newdelhi chc on 17th jan 2004, got file no. dated 10 feb 04 , updated docs in sep 08 , still waiting for medicals. Can u pl give an idea when can i expect medicals .
Thanks .
Dear Anonymous,
Only 20,000 new applicants will immigrate to canada every year and 245,000 old applicants (included students and others) will immigrate to canada enery year. This will definately reduce the backlog with in 2 years. Dont u worry plzz
Medicals are expected within 2 to 3 months
CHC Delhi has increased the timelines form 80 months to 90 months for the pre-feb2008 backlog cases. What happened to all the talk of reducing backlog when timelines are actually increasing by a massive 10 months.
these are aggregate timelines based on past estimates. These are not future timelines.
You will see positive results in coming months
Regarding Delhi CHC, Dec 2003 applicants are in 80th month of processing and still not finalized. Delhi increased timelines from 80 to 90 months yesterday on 16th August 2010. How does it mean that the timelines are decreasing? I see the timelines further increasing for the Dec 2003 cases from present 80 to 90 months at CHC Delhi. Please advice.

I too had applied in Mar 2004, received AOR dated last week Jul 2004, resubmitted additional requirement including funds proof in Nov first week. I am running 55 and would soon be 56 early next year. God only knows when will it come through and I wonder if I will be able to contribute well to my chosen country if it take a long time. I am a very fit person for my age, but moving to the destination country late has its own challenges. Rumours are aplenty that it is going to 90 months,but one has not seen anything in black and white. Any views as to when it is likely to come through. Deep

Dear Comrade,
I applied for PR under federal application. In February 2007, I received my file number and then I received my confirmation letter in October 2008. We were informed on the internet that it takes maximum 3 years for the application process to be completed and it's now 4 years since I applied. I would really much appreciate if you could tell me when am I going to get my letter to do the medical examination or if you could just tell me how much time will I have to wait to be able to finally enter the Canadian territory.

Hi dear friends
"Good News for Immigration Applicants in Backlog"
Haa Haa , very cheerful and promising title , BUT the statement "... Consequently, the department is restricting the number of new applications it will think about in the federal skilled worker category every year."
appeared to be not true . What was mentioned above including the speach of the minister Kenny is NOT honest . It has been published in Jun 2010 , and NOW we are aproaching Sep 2011 and no any advances. So how we can beleave them more and we see that so many applicants from 2010 and even 2011 have already landed in Canada while still there are huge numbers of applicants from 2004 up to 2008 who are waiting hopelessly.
Is this the utopia to where we want to throw our selfs in , Just think about this.
with my wishes to all to get their PR cards very soon.
Oak Tree
This is called keeping people waiting with hopeless speech!! Canada has been making and breaking the promises since a long time with backlog immigrants...please don't get lured and excited with their empty words...:((
I m gurpreet and applicant of dec 2004.and good news is that my close relative who was applicant of january 2004 .got there medicals in july 2011.now tey got visa for canada in this week .i think it is a great news
HI
I am applicant of july 2004,still waiting for some positive respons but oly god know the day we will celebrate.......endless hop
MY WIFE APPLIED FOR A BETTER FUTURE FOR IMMIGRATING TO CANADA.I TOWED HER IDEA.BUT TODAY OUR IMMIGRATION IS NOT THROUGH,EVEN AFTER 5 YEARS.TODAY OPPORTUNITY IS IN INDIA AND NOT CANADA.ITS A MIRAGE WITH NOTHING TO OFFER BUT LOW ECONOMIC GROWTH,RASICISM AND NO OPPORTUNITY EXCEPT BEAUTIFUL NATURAL BEAUTY.SO PLS PEOPLE DO NOT LOOK FOR A EL"DORADO OVER SEAS,ITS RIGHT HEAR IN INDIA.
Guys it's been 5 years I applied for immigration to Canada but seriously now I have changed my mind and would never ever like to move to a country which has no perfect rules of immigration. I don't think that being partial with backlog is really a best method to raise a country's economic status. O Lord protect us from the partiality being done with us!! :(
I RECEIVED ACKNOWLEDGEMENT LETTER 2005IN PHIL. I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING MY APPLICATION WILL BE PROCESSED fEB., 2006. wHEN WILL BE OUR MEDICAL EXAM?
I got my file number in august 2007, when will it be proceed? is any movement of files or canadian govt will reject all back log files together?
