Has any one who applied for PR to Buffalo in January 2002 received an assessment? It is a so so slow process I feel. When I received the AOR in May 2002, it was said they need 30 weeks to process, is now 36 weeks already.
A lot of things about me has changed within the passed year, some are good, some are bad, marriage was gone, 1 year experience in Canada, new job landed, but English is getting worse .... , it appeared that I need to update almost every aspects of mine, why should one be asked to provide all documents (expensive to propare) known the application is going to be touched more than 1 year later and things are changable and should be updated (again expensive to prepare) anyway?
To reduce number of application and avoid those who have no chance to land a job in Canada, Is it a good idea to follow countries like Singapore that they offer applicant who has no job but has potential to land a job only a landed PR status, which merely means one has 2-year to look for a job and then convert landed PR to real PR? I have seen enough cases that no whatsoever job for those landed immigrants, because their passed experience and education from the third world is worthless. Why the selection system does not distinguish this while employers do?

I should say that if applicant without job can only be granted a time-limited status that to come to Canada to look for a job (must be skilled and with certain salary level), there could be 60-70% reduction in application numbers immediately.
