Hi comrade, when i started preparing application for canada immigration way back in Jan 2004, i was looking very young man of 34 years with all the black coloured hairs, now after seven years of long wait, i have started feeling the affect of age and easily crossed 40.my colour of hairs has started turning white. when will i get visa?
dear anu, dont worry from white colors of your hairs because "men are naughty after forty" :)
Prepare your self for challanges in a new country and a new environment. Dont lose your heart and enjoy your life in india too because india is an incredible place to live
Dear comrade, it is in this hope that i will be in a new beautiful country that I did not took any interest in the good opportunities that came in my way. I enjoyed my life more than i ould afford just keeping in mind that I should enjoy my mother lands love in a more fashioable way.had i knew that it will take more than double the expected time to reach canada, i could have planned the things in a better way, i am sure. Any how nothing can be done now and I am concentrating more now to plan the things in a better way so that i can settle in canada after reaching there as early as possible.
November month also gone. in the same way 2011 year will also go away one by one and I fear Mr comrade your estimation will come out as a sweet lolly pop.

Hi comrade I have applied since feb 2005 & have not recived any timelines yet; which I am very much concerned about can you please update what are the timelines as no medical has also been done yet. only update available in e-CAS is that my case was transfered to london on 29th September 2010 from CHC islamabad Pakistan.
Comrade sahib ji, your one prediction has been a void as you perdicted that all 2003 and few 2004 will get medicals in Dec 2010 which is now almost over.Let us see what happens in Jan Feb.
I have applied in skilled worker in August 2005, till then only improvment is that all the cases are tranferred to London,, I just want to ask one question that,, All the decisions are made at this point and shifted to the other visa office for final approval?
Dear Comrade, I am Mrs. David from Manila and I applied for FSW last March 2005 with AOR May 2005. I have not received any update yet from the embassy in the Philippines.When I can possible expect my application to be finalized? The long waiting is agonizing. Thank you.

Hello I read Indian applicant forum, they are very organize and have well informed about CHC Delhi. Pakistani applicant waits from some 2004 and all 2005 One important news share, embassies staff very capable and well trained, Government of Canada issue order all applicant process with two months they will process. Canadian economy depends on America. American economy is down so that indirect impact on immigration process. If you see previous history CHC Pakistan cases process.
Year of Applicant Cases finalize 2001 2005 2002 2006 2003 2007 2004 2008-9-10-11 (all situation you knowledge) 2005 2006 2007 2008 (new policy start)
I am March 2005 applicant and see every years CHC history.
Dear Comrade, I am tyler. My got my AOR in sept 2005 from CHC London under FSW (Sales). In July 2008 my file transfer to CHC Islamabad. Received new AOR in Jan 2009. Now again my file is transfer to CHC London in Jan 2011. I am totally confused and no idea what to do and what not to do. Should I write to CHC London? Should I withdraw my application and apply again? Kindly do reply at your earliest.
Dear Mr.Comrade my name is Ivy just want to get your insight on this, I received a letter of acknowledgement from embassy saying that they received my application July 2005 but up until now I have not received any reply from them. Any idea when will i hear from them? I recently faxed a follow letter would you think it will help?

Does anyone have an idea please. I am a 2005 applicant with my family. We did our medicals in August 2010. Before we recieved the medicals I sent an email asking about the status of my file and the response was that background checks are ongoing. Till now we haven't received ppr. Till when do you think we need to wait. And, do you think that they are still in the stage of background checks? I am from a middle eastern country.
I'm Mr. Tan from Manila. My AOR is October 2005, Manila Office. When do you think embassy will request us for updates to our file. Would you know what month they are processing already? Do you think we will hear from them this year? Appreciate that you are taking time to respond to our inquires.
Hi Everyone CIC is making changes to the immigration system and has opened an online survey to express views, please make the most of it and express your views on how to improve the Canadian immigration system following is the link
Good day comrade. I hope your prediction that 2011 will be year we get update letters is correct. I'm also a 2005AOR applicant. I'm just wondering why there hasn't been any movement from CIC for the past 3-4 months? It seems they stopped again from sending request for updates. I still see a lot of Feb and March 2005 waiting for their request for updates. Do you think it will speed up soon?
Dear Gentlemen/Comrade I am an applicant of 14 Feb 2005 since then I have been waiting to hear some thing +tive my case has been transfered to London recently on 29th September 2010. haven't heard any thing neither medical request has been sent nor new froms are sent for re-filling as is the norm. I wonder how long would it take to process can any one shed some light on this pls. As waiting without visibility on timelines is really irritating now. Atif atifamr@hotmail.com +92-321-400 2206
HI Anyone can guide me with true information?. I have applied in Dec. 2006 but still no update.How long it will take further to get response from Canadian high commission. Of which year applicants are being processed at this time ?. Thnaks
It has been noticed that applications in Manila filed on March 2005 have not moved for a year now. Although, those applications since Feb 2005 and before have already been approved since last year. Intriguingly enough, those applications filed starting Feb 2008 and above have been moving since late last year. Although it already appears unfair, do you happen to know the rationale behind this shift of processing. Also, will it be more beneficial for us if we just pull out our old applications and file a new one. By doing so, we will no longer be affected by the old system and our applications will be expedited. Please advise. Thank you

I submitted my application to the Canadian Embassy in Manila in May 2005, received my file number in July 2005. I received a letter asking if I want to proceed sometime late 2006 or early 2007 (I don't remember exactly), and I said yes. It's now 2011 and no news yet. When do you think I will receive request for updates on my data/documents from the embassy?
i applied in 2006 for immigration to canada from pakistan and last june my cases got is transferred to london when will CHC london look at our case which year
good day sir, we have applied for PR in canada AUGUST 2005 here in the phils. Received our immigration file number last NOVEMBER 2005- on the same year. Four years later at exactly NOVEMBER 2009, we received a confirmation letter stating f we still want to continue with our application. It was the last communication sent to us by CIC. To sum it all, we have been waiting for 5 years & 10 months already.By the time we received our IMMIGRATION FILE NUMBER-LETTER we are promised to wait for 42-46 months starting from the time of application. How can this be when its more than the promised time frame. I think a WORD OF HONOR has to apply on this case.
In all honesty sir, how many more years do we have to wait in order for us to able to move on. I have a growing family. We love each other and & as much as possible, we dont want to be separated.
dear anonymous from the phils.,dated may 30,2011.we have the same status.me and my family cannot move on.we stopped buying a car,buying new appliances, my husband going abroad to augment the income,and fixing the house for good for the worry of sooner, the canadian embassy would recall us for update to canada.but,until now,the canadian embassy remains very,very silent about our long and queued application since 2005.my family and i applied in june,2005 and we received our acknowledgment from canadian embassy in july 2005.
indeed, it is agonizing to wait for the unknown.moving on is very hard as well as spending is tightly controlled with the mixed feeling of disappointment and agony that until when we would be called up.
comrades at the canadian embassy, kindly give us now the fastest time around because we're getting older, and we still want to experience in our younger years the comfort of living there with our children whom we have considered in immigrating there.
we are calling on all the heaven's doors to answer our plea.we are still here.waiting and hoping and most of all praying to be recalled the soonest possible time.....please....!!!!
i guess all of us 2005 applicants have the same situation and feeling..AGONY OF THE LONG WAIT.. i also applied for FSW last feb 2005 and received my AOR april 2005, by oct 2008 i was able to recieved another letter asking if i am still interested in my application, after that no news from the embassy, it really hard to cope up with this kind of situation, we are all left HANGING IN THE AIR and don't know what to do.
just hoping that before the end of june,2011 we will all be able to hear some good news from the embassy.
Dear Gentlemen/Comrade I am an applicant of 14 Feb 2005 since then I have been waiting to hear some thing +tive my case has been transfered to London recently on 29th September 2010. haven't heard any thing neither medical request has been sent nor new froms are sent for re-filling as is the norm. I wonder how long would it take to process can any one shed some light on this pls. As waiting without visibility on timelines is really irritating now. Any body from 2005 recived good news pls update! Atif atifamr@hotmail.com +92-321-400 2206
I guess Canada is joking with us, CIC office is treating us worse than our offices in Pakistan, imagine, we applied in 2005 but still the CIC office is saying us to wait pateintly its to early to say anything about processing time, I dont know they just dont directly say that CIC doesnt need pakistanies, its an idirect way of refusal, i too applied in july 2005, i m no longer enthusiastic for canada any more Is any or you get any update
Hello, I Applied for pr in Canada in 2005 april and not heard about my case from CHC New delhi.It is more than 6 years and still waiting.CHC has cheated and wasted my precious years.
hello we applied november 2005 and received our file no january 23, 2006 that it was started processing on that month... Whats the status of 2005 application. does this mean that we still need to wait more than a decade to finally arrive in canada as fsw...
I applied feb 2005 and i received my file number april 2005 here in the Phils., it's been 6 years, will CIC really update us this year 2011? it's been a long long wait.And it's been very unfair with the NOC classification.... I am a professional Medical Technologist I just wonder why it is not included in the NOC, is it really of no demand?
CIC has not been open with all applicants regarding the true status of the system. Inside information I received indicate that for those who applied in late 2004 to late 2007, applications will no longer be entertained. The main thrust of the embassy is on applications starting 2008 to now. It has been suggested to pull out all old applications and re-apply for a new one
Dont lose your heart friends. Although there is a delay due to a change in system but you will be treated fairly according to the system of your time. As you might know that 2004 applicants from India are receiving their medical request. the new immigration applications are limited to 10000/year due to the fact that Canada want to clear backlog first. Despite of the fact that what happened to back loggers from 2008 to June 2011, the canadian government has realized the difficulties and now the things are streamlined
Hi Comrade well come you back after long slinet, I am March 2005 CHC Islambad Applicnat, September 2010 case shifted london, How much time after CHC london start backlog applicant. Plz enlighten us on above issue
Is there any hope for 2005 applicants until 2012. We waited for long period of time, we cannot move on and sometimes had a feeling that this is already a hopeless case, please update us.
We have file our case in Dec 2005 from Pakistan and waiting for reply from CHC. Our status shows that our application has transferred to London office in September 2010 please update us.
dear comrade, we applied for PR in canada in september 2005, actually ,our relative applied for us from canada, lawyer said that our case is taking 76 months but , just tell me that in your opinion, what will be exact duration for us to wait? 6 years are completed already, and SECONDALY i read on this blog that right now 2003 cases are finalizing and with that respect its d bad news for 2005 cases, its d news of morrrrrre wait that 2005 can go in 2014, plzzzzzzz clear that??? waiting for ur reply from aleezay,pakistan
Honestly, This waiting game is killing nad discouraging.The last I heard from them was 2 years ago.I applied 2005 December.I will be 72 months in December.I wish they will finalise the cases soonest

HI comrade, I applied in JAN 2007 and received file number in feb 2007 till no response for documents updation heard from embassy please tell me how much time they will take to finalise the things
hlo sir, myself sukhwinder kaur sandhu..... I applied for pr in canada in june 2005 n received file number in 2005 only. i hve submitted all my necessary documents wth police verification certificate to CHC canada. whnever i checked online satus is IN PROCESS. how much time they will take to finalise the process....
Its not your fault but its your good luck that you applied in 2004-05-06-07. In 2008, Canada has restricted its occupations list. These days it is very difficult to be eligible for Canadian Immigration
In your time there was no requirement of specific occupation and you were fortunate and eligible.
So wait for your turn. Don't worry at all. Pre 2008 applicants are very lucky.
My name is purvin, I applied for Canada in Sep, 2005. and I got my file number in November, 2005. After that, there is not any process. When I check the status of the file, it is showing in process.
Please let me know when can I get the file approved. How much time still it take, It has been already 6 years. It is enough of patience.
I applied n 2004.. Updation of case n oct 2008. After that, there is not any process. When I check the status of the file, It is showing in PROCESS. Please reply back IMMEDIATELY....
Wel =, I have contacted CIC london, repely the said that those applied before Feb 2008, should wait for 2013 by that they will deal with fast track applicatn.. so we can see any action after 2012 MJH
Today I received an email from IOM office. Contents are hereunder....Read carefully last lines
Dear Amir, Thank you for this additional information.Copying Sadia Zarif in IOM Islamabad. 2005 is a very long time ago… In order to attend a COA session you must first have been granted a Canadian visa.Along with that visa should come an invitation to attend our COA session. Our COA trainer would then travel to Lahore to deliver a pre-departure orientation session once a considerable number of people have been referred to us. As you know, because of the security situation, the Canadian High Commission is no longer processing immigration files from Pakistan, but from the UK; thus the longer delays. Let’s stay in touch in order to ensure that you do get that session once your visa has been granted. In the meantime, if you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me and Ms Zarif.
well to be honest they don't need pakistanies, its strage that people has applied in 2004 but still waiting for their application to be process, dont you think its nonsense, 8 year and still CIC saying to wait patiently
There is no discrimination n Canada for people of any country. Lots and lots of people applied for Canadian immigration in past years/ Thats y a huge backlog was created. CIC is dealing with this backlog and continually struggling to finish this backlog. Be patient and wait for your turn
Hi Comrade, I am again posting my situition.Kindly reple to me.I have applied in Dec 2005 and also received my file number on 29th December 2005.After that i got letter in which CHIC confirm from me either i am still interested or not.Now my status on the CHIC site is your application has been transferred to London on 29 September 2010.How much i need to have to wait for my case to be finalized. Waiting for your response. Nadeem Sattar
I guess both pre feb 2008 applicatn must write sign a protest and consider of going to court for such long wait. its in humane for both Indian and Pakistanis

Respected comrade, I am puneet from Punjab, india, My file no. comes in feb.2005 and send the required documents as and when requested. I sent mail to embassy in nov.2011 and as per there reply, they donot need persons applied before 2008 and they have enough capacity of required labour so they told they have stopped our cases processing atleast till 2012 and after 2012,according to requirement, they will update us. But sir, at the time of application, the processing time was around 60 months and now its increased 93 months for india cases. why the embassy is doing so as it is their duty to cover our cases with in time frame admitted at that time. But as if they will continue increasing the time, what will be our future. Every one who applied before 2008, sacrificing their opportunities one or the other ways to get in line of PR to canada. But can u update, when can our wait be over in near future. As in one paper it printed that all cases before 2008 have been canceled by embassy. is it true?
LEAVE to think about CANADA, after 6 or 7 years returning of application due to BACKLOG ................... What a planning of CIC? Great planning.................\
..returning our applications after 7 long years of waiting????...it goes to show how INSENSITIVE your office in dealing with serious matters...I have high respect in your good office & yet this is how we reciprocated?...tsk...tsk...tsk...Many years have passed ...blood,tears & sacrifice we endured longing for a single reply and this is what we are getting???? Your office should have informed us earlier < better yet ..3 years ago> so that we could have moved on. And refrain from telling us false promises..Anyway LIFE IS NOT PERMANENT...will never know what lies ahead...GOOD LUCK CIC...I HOPE CANADA WILL FOREVER REMAIN A DEVELOPED COUNTRY.
what a system of this country , that called Canada. which is named as country of opportunities. but actually this is a country which wasted all our opportunities. as they cancelled all the cases applied before 2008 giving the reasons of huge backlog. can they give us our backlog of years which we wasted for this country. what a shame for their system. can we fight for this unjustice ,can anybody tell me
The Government of Canada announced on 29 March 2012 a plan to reduce the backlog of Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) applications by returning all applications and government fees submitted prior to 27 February 2008. This will amount to a total of almost 300,000 returned applications, as well as approximately $130 million in refunded government processing fees.
Approximately 160,000 FSW applications, submitted after 28 February 2008, will remain in queue for processing.
The Announcement
This statement has been issued as part of the larger Federal Budget for 2012, which was released on 29 March. The budget includes information for reducing national deficit and creating more fiscally efficient government infrastructure, an integral part of which is tied to immigration policy and processing times. As part of this plan, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), is expected to reduce its operating costs by $179 million over the next three years.
The budget mentions that “Canada risks losing the global talent competition for the world's best and brightest as potential immigrants choose to take their skills to other countries with more responsive immigration systems rather than remain in the queue to have their applications process in Canada”.
With this in mind, the decision was reached to not only return the approximately 300,000 applications, but to focus on creating a system that would streamline processing and “reduce duplication and overlap” in the overall structure.
Government Rationale
The applications being returned are currently only from the FSW program. No additional plans have yet been announced to address backlogs in other immigration categories.
CIC hopes that reducing application numbers will allow it to streamline its programs in a way that will eliminate overhead costs currently incurred by dealing with the backlog. For instance, some visa offices devote significant amounts of time and money to processing pre-2008 applications. With these out of the way, visa officers will be free to devote time and energy to processing applications that have a higher likelihood of approval under current government standards.
The decision is also part of a larger effort by CIC to “transition to a faster and more flexible economic immigration system”. This new system will be aimed at more accurately addressing Canadian labour market needs as well as better serving those applicants still in line to be processed. Currently, Canada is facing severe labour shortages, specifically in Western provinces where skilled tradespeople are in great demand.
So rest assured ...that applications before 2008 will be returned...what about those applications whose occupations are still included in the 29 Occupation List? will they be also returned?

Dear Aqdas,
have u received a document update request from chc
Dear comrade, it is in this hope that i will be in a new beautiful country that I did not took any interest in the good opportunities that came in my way. I enjoyed my life more than i ould afford just keeping in mind that I should enjoy my mother lands love in a more fashioable way.had i knew that it will take more than double the expected time to reach canada, i could have planned the things in a better way, i am sure. Any how nothing can be done now and I am concentrating more now to plan the things in a better way so that i can settle in canada after reaching there as early as possible.
Regards

Hello
I read Indian applicant forum, they are very organize and have well informed about CHC Delhi.
Pakistani applicant waits from some 2004 and all 2005
One important news share, embassies staff very capable and well trained, Government of Canada issue order all applicant process with two months they will process.
Canadian economy depends on America. American economy is down so that indirect impact on immigration process.
If you see previous history CHC Pakistan cases process.

Does anyone have an idea please. I am a 2005 applicant with my family. We did our medicals in August 2010. Before we recieved the medicals I sent an email asking about the status of my file and the response was that background checks are ongoing. Till now we haven't received ppr. Till when do you think we need to wait. And, do you think that they are still in the stage of background checks? I am from a middle eastern country.
Dear Mr. Comrade,
I'm Mr. Tan from Manila. My AOR is October 2005, Manila Office. When do you think embassy will request us for updates to our file. Would you know what month they are processing already? Do you think we will hear from them this year?
Appreciate that you are taking time to respond to our inquires.

Good day comrade. I hope your prediction that 2011 will be year we get update letters is correct. I'm also a 2005AOR applicant. I'm just wondering why there hasn't been any movement from CIC for the past 3-4 months? It seems they stopped again from sending request for updates. I still see a lot of Feb and March 2005 waiting for their request for updates. Do you think it will speed up soon?
Dear comrade, why you are absence from this thread and not replying to our posts? we are loosing interest in this thread with your continous absence.

HI
Anyone can guide me with true information?.
I have applied in Dec. 2006 but still no update.How long it will take further to get response from Canadian high commission.
Of which year applicants are being processed at this time ?.
Thnaks
Dear Mr. Comrade,
It has been noticed that applications in Manila filed on March 2005 have not moved for a year now. Although, those applications since Feb 2005 and before have already been approved since last year. Intriguingly enough, those applications filed starting Feb 2008 and above have been moving since late last year. Although it already appears unfair, do you happen to know the rationale behind this shift of processing. Also, will it be more beneficial for us if we just pull out our old applications and file a new one. By doing so, we will no longer be affected by the old system and our applications will be expedited. Please advise. Thank you

Dear Comrade,
I submitted my application to the Canadian Embassy in Manila in May 2005, received my file number in July 2005. I received a letter asking if I want to proceed sometime late 2006 or early 2007 (I don't remember exactly), and I said yes. It's now 2011 and no news yet. When do you think I will receive request for updates on my data/documents from the embassy?

good day sir,
we have applied for PR in canada AUGUST 2005 here in the phils. Received our immigration file number last NOVEMBER 2005- on the same year. Four years later at exactly NOVEMBER 2009, we received a confirmation letter stating f we still want to continue with our application. It was the last communication sent to us by CIC. To sum it all, we have been waiting for 5 years & 10 months already.By the time we received our IMMIGRATION FILE NUMBER-LETTER we are promised to wait for 42-46 months starting from the time of application. How can this be when its more than the promised time frame. I think a WORD OF HONOR has to apply on this case.
In all honesty sir, how many more years do we have to wait in order for us to able to move on. I have a growing family. We love each other and & as much as possible, we dont want to be separated.
Frankly good sir, we -all- cannot move on....
thank you & God Bless
dear anonymous from the phils.,dated may 30,2011.we have the same status.me and my family cannot move on.we stopped buying a car,buying new appliances, my husband going abroad to augment the income,and fixing the house for good for the worry of sooner, the canadian embassy would recall us for update to canada.but,until now,the canadian embassy remains very,very silent about our long and queued application since 2005.my family and i applied in june,2005 and we received our acknowledgment from canadian embassy in july 2005.
indeed, it is agonizing to wait for the unknown.moving on is very hard as well as spending is tightly controlled with the mixed feeling of disappointment and agony that until when we would be called up.
comrades at the canadian embassy, kindly give us now the fastest time around because we're getting older, and we still want to experience in our younger years the comfort of living there with our children whom we have considered in immigrating there.
we are calling on all the heaven's doors to answer our plea.we are still here.waiting and hoping and most of all praying to be recalled the soonest possible time.....please....!!!!
i guess all of us 2005 applicants have the same situation and feeling..AGONY OF THE LONG WAIT..
i also applied for FSW last feb 2005 and received my AOR april 2005, by oct 2008 i was able to recieved another letter asking if i am still interested in my application, after that no news from the embassy, it really hard to cope up with this kind of situation, we are all left HANGING IN THE AIR and don't know what to do.
just hoping that before the end of june,2011 we will all be able to hear some good news from the embassy.
hi this is bunny here...we have applied our visa in 2005 month of august...when our case will be finalized???
Dear Gentlemen/Comrade

Please let me know the status of June,2005
I guess Canada is joking with us, CIC office is treating us worse than our offices in Pakistan, imagine, we applied in 2005 but still the CIC office is saying us to wait pateintly its to early to say anything about processing time,
I dont know they just dont directly say that CIC doesnt need pakistanies, its an idirect way of refusal, i too applied in july 2005, i m no longer enthusiastic for canada any more
Is any or you get any update
Dear Comrade..
Hello. im Mario from Phillipines.. I applied in february 2005 and i got my file no. April 2005. please advice me. thank you! more power!
Hello,
I Applied for pr in Canada in 2005 april and not heard about my case from CHC New delhi.It is more than 6 years and still waiting.CHC has cheated and wasted my precious years.
hello we applied november 2005 and received our file no january 23, 2006 that it was started processing on that month... Whats the status of 2005 application. does this mean that we still need to wait more than a decade to finally arrive in canada as fsw...
cases of 2004-2005 are going to start shortly and are likely to be cleared by next year
2005 cases documnets verification start now,
ARE YOU SURE THAT THE CASES OF 2005 ARE GOING TO BE CLEARED BY NEXT YEAR?
how can you say that anonymous..?
I applied feb 2005 and i received my file number april 2005 here in the Phils., it's been 6 years, will CIC really update us this year 2011? it's been a long long wait.And it's been very unfair with the NOC classification.... I am a professional Medical Technologist I just wonder why it is not included in the NOC, is it really of no demand?
comrade appears to be hibernating.....zzzzz
To everyone,
CIC has not been open with all applicants regarding the true status of the system. Inside information I received indicate that for those who applied in late 2004 to late 2007, applications will no longer be entertained. The main thrust of the embassy is on applications starting 2008 to now. It has been suggested to pull out all old applications and re-apply for a new one
Dont lose your heart friends. Although there is a delay due to a change in system but you will be treated fairly according to the system of your time. As you might know that 2004 applicants from India are receiving their medical request. the new immigration applications are limited to 10000/year due to the fact that Canada want to clear backlog first. Despite of the fact that what happened to back loggers from 2008 to June 2011, the canadian government has realized the difficulties and now the things are streamlined
Hi Comrade

dear comrade,
I have something to ask you. You only need to answer YES or NO.
IS IT OUR FAULT THAT WE HAVE APPLIED FOR PR IN CANADA IN YEARS 2004, 2005, 2006 AND 2007?? KINDLY REPLY....by d way...Happy Innocence Day!
sincerely,
2004,20005,2006 and 2007
Its not your fault but its your good luck that you applied in 2004-05-06-07. In 2008, Canada has restricted its occupations list. These days it is very difficult to be eligible for Canadian Immigration
In your time there was no requirement of specific occupation and you were fortunate and eligible.
So wait for your turn. Don't worry at all. Pre 2008 applicants are very lucky.

Today I received an email from IOM office. Contents are hereunder....Read carefully last lines
Dear Amir, Thank you for this additional information.Copying Sadia Zarif in IOM Islamabad. 2005 is a very long time ago… In order to attend a COA session you must first have been granted a Canadian visa.Along with that visa should come an invitation to attend our COA session. Our COA trainer would then travel to Lahore to deliver a pre-departure orientation session once a considerable number of people have been referred to us. As you know, because of the security situation, the Canadian High Commission is no longer processing immigration files from Pakistan, but from the UK; thus the longer delays. Let’s stay in touch in order to ensure that you do get that session once your visa has been granted. In the meantime, if you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me and Ms Zarif.
Please remain patient. May 2012 be the year that delivers that long-awaited visa! Happy New year to you and your family. Louise Bélanger From: Amir Chaudhry [mailto:amirch07@gmail.com]

well to be honest they don't need pakistanies, its strage that people has applied in 2004 but still waiting for their application to be process, dont you think its nonsense, 8 year and still CIC saying to wait patiently
There is no discrimination n Canada for people of any country. Lots and lots of people applied for Canadian immigration in past years/ Thats y a huge backlog was created. CIC is dealing with this backlog and continually struggling to finish this backlog.
Be patient and wait for your turn

ALL HOPES ARE DASHED TO EARTH.THE END.
Respected comrade,
I am puneet from Punjab, india, My file no. comes in feb.2005 and send the required documents as and when requested. I sent mail to embassy in nov.2011 and as per there reply, they donot need persons applied before 2008 and they have enough capacity of required labour so they told they have stopped our cases processing atleast till 2012 and after 2012,according to requirement, they will update us.
But sir, at the time of application, the processing time was around 60 months and now its increased 93 months for india cases. why the embassy is doing so as it is their duty to cover our cases with in time frame admitted at that time. But as if they will continue increasing the time, what will be our future. Every one who applied before 2008, sacrificing their opportunities one or the other ways to get in line of PR to canada. But can u update, when can our wait be over in near future. As in one paper it printed that all cases before 2008 have been canceled by embassy. is it true?
Please update
LEAVE to think about CANADA, after 6 or 7 years returning of application due to BACKLOG ................... What a planning of CIC? Great planning.................\
..returning our applications after 7 long years of waiting????...it goes to show how INSENSITIVE your office in dealing with serious matters...I have high respect in your good office & yet this is how we reciprocated?...tsk...tsk...tsk...Many years have passed ...blood,tears & sacrifice we endured longing for a single reply and this is what we are getting???? Your office should have informed us earlier < better yet ..3 years ago> so that we could have moved on. And refrain from telling us false promises..Anyway LIFE IS NOT PERMANENT...will never know what lies ahead...GOOD LUCK CIC...I HOPE CANADA WILL FOREVER REMAIN A DEVELOPED COUNTRY.
What about 7 wasted years? ,,can it be refunded?
what a system of this country , that called Canada. which is named as country of opportunities. but actually this is a country which wasted all our opportunities.
as they cancelled all the cases applied before 2008 giving the reasons of huge backlog.
can they give us our backlog of years which we wasted for this country. what a shame for their system.
can we fight for this unjustice ,can anybody tell me
BREAKING NEWS
The Government of Canada announced on 29 March 2012 a plan to reduce the backlog of Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) applications by returning all applications and government fees submitted prior to 27 February 2008. This will amount to a total of almost 300,000 returned applications, as well as approximately $130 million in refunded government processing fees.
Approximately 160,000 FSW applications, submitted after 28 February 2008, will remain in queue for processing.
The Announcement
This statement has been issued as part of the larger Federal Budget for 2012, which was released on 29 March. The budget includes information for reducing national deficit and creating more fiscally efficient government infrastructure, an integral part of which is tied to immigration policy and processing times. As part of this plan, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), is expected to reduce its operating costs by $179 million over the next three years.
The budget mentions that “Canada risks losing the global talent competition for the world's best and brightest as potential immigrants choose to take their skills to other countries with more responsive immigration systems rather than remain in the queue to have their applications process in Canada”.
With this in mind, the decision was reached to not only return the approximately 300,000 applications, but to focus on creating a system that would streamline processing and “reduce duplication and overlap” in the overall structure.
Government Rationale
The applications being returned are currently only from the FSW program. No additional plans have yet been announced to address backlogs in other immigration categories.
CIC hopes that reducing application numbers will allow it to streamline its programs in a way that will eliminate overhead costs currently incurred by dealing with the backlog. For instance, some visa offices devote significant amounts of time and money to processing pre-2008 applications. With these out of the way, visa officers will be free to devote time and energy to processing applications that have a higher likelihood of approval under current government standards.
The decision is also part of a larger effort by CIC to “transition to a faster and more flexible economic immigration system”. This new system will be aimed at more accurately addressing Canadian labour market needs as well as better serving those applicants still in line to be processed. Currently, Canada is facing severe labour shortages, specifically in Western provinces where skilled tradespeople are in great demand.

So rest assured ...that applications before 2008 will be returned...what about those applications whose occupations are still included in the 29 Occupation List? will they be also returned?
Is the blog still on????????
