Re: Current Processing Times (continued)
there have been a lot of debates regarding the stated classes. 175 also is not belongs to any sponsored classes, but DIAC included it in. i have to be honest to myself that i am in CSL and MODL group, so i won't expect DIAC will access my application in the near 1 or 2 months.

Re: Current Processing Times (continued)
[QUOTE=Safin;7255350]Because like the 175 it can be converted to state sposnored without a seperate application being made???Thats my guess anyway
Hi, is this converted by yourself or can DIAC ask you to change to state sponsored?

You attach your sponsorship to your 175 application. The sponsoring state will also fill sponsorship form 1100 and sent them to DIAC.
