    Keeping In view of that time i.e 36 to 42 months last year in June 2009 I took my IELTS and score 7 Band & send the test result form to the CHC Islamabad sama year but no response.
    But Last month I received a mail from CHC Islamabad that my case is transfered to CHC LONDON.
    Then I mail to the CHC London to inquire the status of my case. They reply that if they don't contact me before october 2010 then I will again contanct them for an inquiry of my case.
    What do you think that it is fair or not because after 12 months my IELTS will also expires.

  20. Dear Ayesha,
    1. It may take 2 more years max

    2. Securing a good job in Canada depends on luck and references

    3. No it will not effect your application

    4. To some extent (Yes in case you are immigrating to Quebec) but french will add some more points for immigration

    5. You may contact them but not do it frequently

    6. If you get a job there than it is best option for you

  37. Dear Sir Comrade,

    I had received my Immigration File Number last October 2006. Currently, I am working in United States as an H1 Visa.

    Here is my question: Are they going to expedite my application since I am no longer living in my country? Besides there is a program for US Visa holders to apply in Canada. Will they consider my application? Or I really have to wait for the exact time processing?

    I am hoping to hear from you Sir! Thanks....

    This is Anita from Nairobi.My husband had applied for Immigration to Canada in june-2006 and v got the file no in sep-2006 and after that on sep-1,2010 v received a letter from the embassy stating that we got a waiver and to re-submit all the documents. v r doing that right now.My question is regarding the "proof of funds".Since our money was not used for a long time v invested in real estate and we have got our property titles with us.Now our immigration consultant(WWICS) says tht v r not suppose to submit titles and only bank statements with the required amount of cash.

    But the letter from the embassy clearly states that v can submit property titles.Kindly guide us in this issue.Plz consider this urgent and reply as v r suppose to submit it within 7 days.

    Kindly plz let us also know how long will it take again for the officials to call us after this second documentation.

    Thks.

    Processing time for CHC Manila is currently displayed as approx 70 months on cic website. If we follow these timelines approx 18 months are remaining in this case.
    But your case may be processed earlier than 18 months because there is a cap on new applications and the focus of cic is to clear backlog.

  100. Dear comrade as pr your advise above to 2006 applicant that he may hear good news in 2012. I think you are too optimistic and very fast in estimation. this means all 2004 and 2005 will get good news in 2011 OR 2004 WILL GET IN 201 AND ALL 2005,06 IN 2012. UN BELEAVABLE. ONLY MAGIC CAN DO THIS POSSIBLE.

  103. Hello Comrade,
    Hope you are doing well. I had submitted my application in 2006, Islamabad CHC. I had received my file no. in Oct 2006. The application was processed by a Canadian lawyer. However unfortunately, he is really no help as after the submission he does not seem to care about my file anymore. My marital status on my application shows separated but I have now been divorced for 3 years and have custody papers for my child. I had my child mentioned in my process when the case was submitted. Should I inform CHC regarding changes in my Marital status? Also any idea as to how long it will be before I hear from them regarding my case.
    Thank you in advance for your assistance.

  105. Hello Mr. Comrade,

    I would like to seek advise as I really am interested in immigrating to Canada. However, I am not sure if my profession will count.

    I have been a pornstar 3 years now. Due to difficulty in getting a job here in my country, Indonesia, I have been forced into this line of work. This type of job, however, pays well. But I am pretty sure that if I be given the opportunity to go to Canada, I can make a lot more.

    With this, I would like to seek your opinion if I should push through with my application in canada and indicate my profession.

    Please help in enlightening me.

    Thank you very much and more power.

    In the CIC website, the waiting period took longer. This means that the 5 year period estimated to you before by the embassy is no longer applicable.

  160. Hi Rajguru,

    The 82 months is the new reference period in completing your application. This means that only after 82 months from the date you got your Acknowledgement of Receipt will they begin processing your application. Which means that it would take you about 82 months + 1 year

    I applied in October 2006 at Singapore as a Skilled worker. When they asked for papers in Dec 2010 to be sent down to them by 60 days (20 days already had gone then), I emailed them to say that within this short time I'd be unable to sit for and get result of IELTS. So I asked would they accept Sept 2006 GT IELTS scoresheet. They said okay and I sent all the papers. I havn't yet heard anything. My category is gone from the NOC list now. Will these effect my application?
    Anoynymous

    ReplyDelete
  166. To Rajguru,

    The reason for adding 1 year to the 82 months is that it will only be after the 82nd month that CIC will start reviewing your documents in detail. This means that it will take another year to complete the whole process from the time they start to the review, to the scheduling of your medical tests and finally to the sending of your passport and visa.

    I know that its tough but that is how CIC does it.

    ReplyDelete
  167. To Everyone,

    Sadly, those who applied after Feb 2008 surpassed those who applied before it. Latest updates showed that CIC is no longer interested in those who applied before Feb 2008. There are those who applied before Feb 2008 who withdrew their applications already and re-applied and just recently their applications were approved. If you would like to take that risk and route, it is up to you. But those who did it so far, each one of them succeeded and have their visas granted already.

  168. Dear Comrade
    as per above scenario,what about those applicants who applied in 2006 for those occupations which are now closed in new immigration policy like i applied in sep 2006(Simplfied application process) in the field of finance and accounts, as these categories are no more available in current policy? means we have to wait for their attention or our turn.
    kindly give your comments on this situation and give us estimated time.

  169. Hi Irfan,

    Those who were part of Simplied Immigration Process and hoped for a faster processing are also part of the "before Feb 2008" applications. As a result, you will have to wait for your turn. Again, those who applied prior to Feb 2008 will experience a very delayed processing time as you are no longer the priority. Sadly and unfairly, the priority are those after the Feb 2008 cut off. If you applied in Sept 2006, you will be lucky if your application will be processed by 2012. HOwever, since 2004 applications have not moved. Yours would most probably be placed on hold for 2 to 3 more years.

    Now, if you plan to take a risk, you can withdraw and re-apply to increase your chances.

    ReplyDelete
  170. To those who plan to withdraw and re-apply,

    Please make sure you get a full refund. Your applications have not been processed. You have the right to get it back including the fees that were requested from you during the course of your waiting such us fee for additional dependent and so on.

  172. Comrade:
    If the occupation is no longer there (which was available in 2006 when I applied) on the present NOC list, there's no meaning of withdrawal. Don't you think so? But Singapore office wrote 61 months after which I may lodge an official enquiry as per the instructions given over there. I have 6 months before it turns to 61. Don't know what will come about.

  173. To those concerned,

    If you check the CIC website, you will notice that applications prior to Feb 2008 are no longer moving. In fact the time it takes for applications prior to Feb 2008 is just getting bigger as time passes by. For instance, if CIC mentioned before that it will only take 60 months, and just recently it mentioned that will now take 72 months, today you will see that it will now take 75 months. Sadly, CIC is no longer interested in prior applications. They will just keep on prolonging the processing time. If anybody does research, the person will find out the 2004 last quarter applications have not moved for about 2 years now. Only applications filed today are moving.

    ReplyDelete
  180. To those who emailed,

    Yes. You may withdraw and file again. It does not guarantee a 6 month processing time but definitely it will be less than 1.5 years. Again, those who filed in 2006 will not have their applications processed until further notice. This means that 2006 have been placed on hold. Recent updates from the embassy suggested that 2006 applications will take an additional 4.5 years from now.

  188. Respected Comrade
    I, Ajay Kumar applied for Canadian Immigration in Oct, 2006 at New Delhi office. Received my file No. in January 2007. I appeared for IELTS in July 2008. My band scores stood at listening 7.5 Speaking 7 Writing 6.5 Reading 5 . Now if you will please advice me about the validity of the IELTS taken by me and total marks/numbers i will get for my IELTS scores & if you have any idea when am I likely to listen from Immigration Authorities.

  189. Dear Comrade

    why you do not answer 2004 applicants at all ? Shl 2004 applicants also withdraw their files or still there are chances of being processed soon ?

  191. I think it must be crystal clear after the new immigration cap of 10000 per year. Canadian govt want to clear backlog first

  194. CANADIAN MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION SHOULD TELL THE OLD APPLICANTS WHY THEY ARE BEEN TREATED LIKE THIS THE SYSTEM OF NOT ATTENDING THE OLD APPLICATIONS LOOKS UNPROFETIONAL.

  195. Dear Comrade,

    I applied in 2006 and still waiting. My wife is a doctor (one of the shortlisted professions). Can she apply as a principal applicant without myself withdrawing my application or do I have to withdraw my application before she applies under the new rules
