I read the Newspaper Canada emigrate once a month. They give current processing times for skilled workers, which seems to be about 2 months a month roughly.
As i understand it they request documents at a point in our application. Is that point when they process our application, or is it 3 months before they process our application?

I have estimated that we will be processed around August to November 2008 as our application was August 2006.

Any comments thanks Jim

The visa office will start looking at your file around that time and will probably write you to ask for updated application forms and documents.

Hi Jim,

We applied in October 2006, AOR January 2007. Can you advise what sort of timescale we'd be looking at? I appreciate this would be just an estimate on your part. Thanks.

Jim Humphries

From what I read it would seem that your case will perhaps come into process at about the end of this year but timing is far from a sure thing nowadays.

Thanks much appreciated.

That's certainly seems to be the case - my AOR is June '05, and I'm not processed yet.

Don't you have arranged employment - can't you get it fast tracked?

I'm self-employed, so fast-tracking isn't isn't an option.

Hi Jim
Just trying to pick your brains for an opinion. We got our 60 day letter on 19th April and docs ready to go in tomorrow. We have noticed that some others have been getting their Med requests at the same time as their requests for documents and were just wondering if you have any idea why we didn't get ours? We would appreciate an insider slant on this one, or is it a case of either they forgot to include it or they didn't want to include it...or is it that it depends who you get on the day. there does not seem to be any standard procedure happening, which makes it very difficult to gauge?

Out of desperation we have e-mailed CHC to ask if they have forgotten to send it out....don't know if we will get a reply, only time will tell
Thanks

Medical issuance has several considerations including the expected time to complete background checks, selection decision etc.
Forgetfulness can also be a problem but is not so frequent as some here would have you believe.

Thanks for the quick reply Jim.

Do you think they will send them out once they get my e-mail. I am a bit twitchy due to wanting to be in Canada for the start of the educational year in September as my sons are at a point where they are likely to be affected, One moves into Senior education, which I feel is pointless for about a term...the whole uniform issue, new friends, strange environment etc. The other will move into year 9 when he will have to make a choice about which subjects to drop, which may not be what he would need to do in Canada.

Without a peek in your file I could not say what they will do when they get your email. Even then I would not necessarily be accurate. They may just be waiting for the info they requested.
