If they have charged your cc it means that someone has finally picked up your application and has started doing the preliminary checks of your paperwork ensuring that you have enough relevant points in order to proceed further with your application. My cc was charged in Nov11 and I received my PER in Jan12 (phew, successfully over the 1st hurdle!) Once they've completed this part & satisfied that you've met the criteria they then send your application to the relevant VO ie London.

Can I just ask where you find the information on how many applications for your job?? i am currently a probation service officer??

thanks xx

Nicky_25_00

whatis PER??

Nicky_25_00

if they check application and decide not suitable do they not charge you just worried about spending all this money and not being successful

Sammie4

Hi Nicky, you can find the info here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigra...plications.asp This gives an aprox idea of the number of applications received by CIC by a particular date.

Sammie4

PER stands for `Positive eligibility review'. You will receive an email from CIO if your file passes the Initial eligibility review & this email will also have details about your file and the file number.

Ahh, we've just heard ...

Even although we sent our app in when the latest count for our category was in the 300s, they took from October until now to tell us that the cap has now been reached ie, the count only refers to the number of applications for that category actually opened, not simply received.

Oh well, 2012 looks like another year of applying for us ... best of luck to you all ... hope you have better news than us this time around.

So sorry to hear that Porkis It's just a pity that they took so long to tell you especially when the NOC count was only at 300, but the assumption then means that there may have been hundreds of applications waiting to be opened ahead of yours unfortunately! your NOC is still there when the new cap opens later on this year in Jul12. All the best..

That sucks ass! Sorry to hear you missed the boat

What category were you applying under?

Porkis

Yeah, tell me about it

We were going in under 0631 – Restaurant and Food Service Managers

Oh well, there's hopefully 2012 if it's still on the list!

Ill be following all of your journeys though

D n A, That is 56 days! We have been in 48 days at today and CIC still have 67 places left on NOC 3233......OK, they are being filled up at at a rate of 5 per day of late so we might make it yet, I am so excited! My heart is pounding so hard I think i'm about to have a heart attack! I may not have to work in Alberta afterall, straight to BC....COME ON. fletch

First of all my sympathies to those that have tried and have recently received bad news, my sincere apologies to those people that may have read my email yesterday, I just got carried away with myself without any thought for others, sorry. I hope when you resubmit you are successful.

Up until yesterday when I read Dave & A..'s message, I thought we had no chance of getting into the 500 for NOC 3233, I though it would be 100 days before we would find out and the places were filling up rapidly. We had gone through the, sorry NOC is full palava with our previous application for 3152.

I thought the only option open to us would be me going on a TWP long distance haulage driving and playing the long game with uncertainty over jobs and so on. So....

Anyway, buoyed by D n A's message I decided to ring my credit card to see if CIC had taken the fees, long shot I thought, well, they took our fees on
1st Feb £910.20. Total time from receipt to taking payment 46 days...they are getting quicker at Sydney at opening the applications. Just thought I would pass this information in case there are some wondering how long they are currently taking. I hope it helps and gives, some hope. fletch

It feels like i'm in the grand national, I have crossed bechers brook for the first time and now I'm headed for the Chair.....there is a long way to go yet.
