Hi
As reported in the Province yesterday, Kenney announced that the FSW and Investor Immigrant programs will be "paused" until January/2013. FSW2 will not be effected, nor will PHD. Here is the press release: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/departm...2012-06-28.asp |

Re: FSW & Investor 6 Month Pause
I'd just spotted that and come to post it, but you beat me to it! Thx PMM.
What a shame for all those that have been gathering paperwork and spending money on police checks etc ready to apply in July. |
Re: FSW & Investor 6 Month Pause
My heart goes out to all the almosts. Spending all that money, wasting all that time...it must be heartbreaking.

I done what you suggested too. I raced around and paid for a surveyor to come value my house so i could submit evidence of equity in my house to bump up proof of funds. Oh well, i think i need a few :beer: but unfortunately I have 3 long shifts ahead.
Maybe not a beer just now if you're about to go to work, but definitely have lots when you're done! Good luck with whatever you decide to do next, whether it's waiting until Jan or pursuing another visa route - there are plenty of other options, so don't give up. :) |

We will have to phone the courier and cancel arranged pick up..(saves us £50 I suppose).. Im presuming my wife will have to re-do her ielts, get new police checks... As el richo says... bummer. But also, aye its a bit of a decision made/taken out our hands........ for now anyway. Cheers to everyone who helped with any daft questions I had ... :unsure: |

On one hand I'm shocked, after 4years of trying to emigrate to Canada ive never known a complete stop / pause on an intake.. did not see it coming... But on the other hand, I'm really not all that surprised. It sums up this while shambles of a process... Oh well, its not meant to be at the moment... |
Re: FSW & Investor 6 Month Pause
I cannot believe they would not just announce this earlier rather than have us all pay and prepare and in my case send the pack off. ... I hope they send it back, how horrible of them to not just announce it earlier. What would they have lost - what is it with them? Is that a particular cultural trait. Gosh. |
Re: FSW & Investor 6 Month Pause
I know thats what gets me.!!!
They must of known for a long time that this was what they were going to do. Why mess with people like this.? why didn`t they announce it 3m ago.? It still would of been gutting but at least we wouldn't of spent hundreds of pounds not to mention man hours stressing over every tiny thing to get the application right. |
Re: FSW & Investor 6 Month Pause
bummer - a large g & t down the hatch...
I had all my evidence gathered including my 89 yr old uncle sending me proof of his canadian citizenship....i didn't go as far as completing the application form in full as I sensed that no news wasn't good news in that cic have waited until the 11th hour to let prospective applicants know their plans....booo!! I love Canada so I won't be giving up that easily....but i do feel a little deflated...:( |
