On processing timelines - Part I

It has become increasingly clear since last year that IRCC is becoming overwhelmed by the number of express entry applications to be processed. I remember a discussion on earlier thread with @Tojued and others. In the face of overwhelming anecdotal evidence, I took the position that since IRCC maintains the 6 months processing timeline on its website it must still be true. I posited that applications are still being processed on time, maybe we are just not hearing about it. With my own 6-months timeline in sight, I've done further research and I'm re-evaluating my position.

If you check the current processing timeline (here), it states 6 months for Express Entry (EE). However, looking at the fine print reveals a different picture.

Below the "6 months" caption, on the lower textbox, it states: "We are committed to processing most complete applications within the above time."

Under the Question (here): "Why do some application processing times change and others do not?", see this response:
"The number of applications we receive for each program can affect processing times................Some posted processing times are a service commitment. Since the commitment applies, these times will not change.". Meaning the notice is a target and not an actual reality.

Does it mean that the service standard has not been met before? No. The most recent data online are from April 1, 2017 - March 31, 2018 (here):

"Federal Skilled Worker Program (via Express Entry)
Our service standard: process electronic applications within 6 months
Our target: meet the standard for at least 80% of submitted applications (within the approved annual immigration levels plan)
Our performance in 2017-2018: processed 93% of applications within the standard
We introduced this service standard in March 2015

Provincial Nominee Program (via Express Entry)
Our service standard: process electronic applications within 6 months (doesn’t include the time it takes the province or territory to process)
Our target: meet the standard for at least 80% of applications submitted (within the approved annual immigration levels plan)
Our performance in 2017-2018: processed 76% of applications within the standard
We introduced this service standard in March 2015"

The data for April 2018 till date are not available and that is the relevant one for this write-up. The apparent slow down became more noticeable as 2018 drew to a close.

The start of any analysis has to be when does processing time start? The answer is(this): "Your processing time starts the day we receive your complete application and ends when we make a decision."

The next is how are processing times calculated? The answer here states that there are 2 ways of calculating, projected and historical.

Projected: Processing times are measured based on the current number of applications waiting to be processed and how quickly we expect to process 80% of them.
This was changed publicly for some PR lines (paper based PNP, etc) in July 2018. I also believe there is an projected timeline for Express Entry that is only available to agents. That is why sometimes when you call, you will to told about an expected day of completion that is longer than your 6 months timeline. It could be 7 months or even 10 months.

Historical: Processing times are measured based on how long it took to process 80% of applications in the past. This is what is supposed to be shown on the EE public processing timeline, but as noted earlier, it is the service standard that is shown.

To be continued....

Congratulations @JustinTrudeau. May your new home favour you.

Hmm. Another option on traveling with an almost expired passport - replacing your passport and changing your visa. It is a much more tedious option though.

It is not currently eferenced on page 1.

I thought to share this from a post in the part 1 thread. I wouldn't know if its referenced in page 1. But if it's not, i think it could be helpful.

Then for for peace of mind, he should go and get NPC.

nairalandnewbie:
His spouse is inland and the documents required to be uploaded clearly states birth certificate o

He doesn't need a birth certificate for the process unless he is claiming sibling points.

nairalandnewbie:
Hi everyone, please I need help with this:
My friend's birth certificate was not issued by NPC but a LG.
Now he wants to apply and we are confused on whether he should get a birth certificate from NPC or he can use this one.

He has gotten a sworn affidavit for declaration of age will that suffice??

Please help

Lool.

Pre-ITA stress. Acute stress.

Next on the agenda is Post-AOR waiting stress. This one is both chronic and acute.

Adunnee:
Hello Doctors,

Please I need 5 doses of patiencemycin. Kindly administer if you have. I prefer injection because it works faster. In the absence of that , I will manage tablets or syrup.

This wait is not easy oooo

After payment. If you don't to pay immediately, you choose "western union" option. You will get a reference number and can begin your transcripts processing.

When you want to pay, you can choose "card" option.

Hollarmighty:
Please at what point do we get WES Reference number? After payment? Seems I saw some posts mentioning that one can pay WES after you school has sent your documents to WES. If that is the case, what WES reference number would you quote on your application?

lobell:
Yep, you are right! Woke up today with a burden to be sure on the time. Turns out that the deadline was going to be 1:00 am Monday morning (that's in the middle of the night). I entered panic mode, made some calls and raised the money and paid promptly via GTB and received AOR almost immediately.

So, thanks for the heads up. Monday morning would have been too late. I'm all sorted now.

It has been stated on previous threads that, based on gcms notes, there is a record. However, I don't believe it will affect him. Reference letters are there to be verified if IRCC so chooses.

ladymarshall:
If a person updates/changes the job experience section pre-ITA, will there be a record showing the change and would it affect the application post-AOR? Asking for a friend who did not get a reference for previous jobs and used one year experience based on the reference he was able to get, CRS is 445 and is still in the pool. But now he has been able to get references for previous jobs and wants to claim 3 year experience, CRS will be 470 but he is scared that CIC would have a record showing the changes in the CRS score and the edited parts. Is this something he needs to worry about pre-ITA? I feel there's no need to worry, but he will prefer me to ask here. What do you think?

@GEJDHERO and @evanehman, the proper thread for immigration discussions is here: https://www.nairaland.com/5031893/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled

Check the first and last 3 pages.

Mudicua:
I wish i could do that, but that is the problem. The relevant part will be notes after the whole document. But there are no notes. Status still says in progress. The whole doc is 43 pages long, and i do not know which part exactly to screen shot and upload.

They just got a mail. Similar to OINP (HCP).

You will need to choose all provinces when opening your EE profile to be eligible.

iaatmguy:
thanks for your response, please for those who got Alberta NOI, how did you get it?

We have had this discussion a few weeks ago back.

For FSW it might not be mandatory, however it is advised if you change from a job you are claiming points from.

No, no need for a reference letter.

You will raise a CSE.

hipstar2:
Hmm. Does that mean CIC must be notified if one moves to another organization? Will there be need for a new reference letter?
How will this info be updated?

Which NOCs are you considering?

I think you should, in case a migration officer wants to verify your work experience.

Sashafiercediva:
I’m at post AOR:The bank I work just merged with another bank. And the name chosen for the new merged entity is that of the other bank, while they adopted a part of my bank’s logo. We have also been given new employment letters. Do I need to inform CIC about this development ?

She will need to adopt her as her child. There is a link to a post by someone who added her adopted niece on page 1.

Dear seniors, what do you advise?
Someone is asking if it is possible to add her sister who is a minor (14) to her application as adopted or a dependent. She is responsible for her sister as their their mother is late and their father is aged.

Your JD fits nicely with 4012 Post-secondary teaching and research assistants.

It appears that your concern is with this line: Grade examinations, term papers and laboratory reports.

I wouldn't stress too much about it as your JD fits the other roles:

Compile research results and assist professors in the analysis of results and the preparation of journal articles or papers.

Organize reference materials, visual aids and other materials as required by university professors or college teachers for lectures

Research NOC Code Query

Hi Everyone,

I am confused regarding my NOC code. Logically it seems that I should fit under 4012 NOC. I hold a Masters degree worked as a full time paid research assistant at a university. I only had research duties and not teaching ones listed as follows:

Undertake literature reviews/ systematic reviews
Collect and analyze data
Recruit subjects for interviews and perform data collection through telephonic or face to face interviews
Maintain accurate records of interviews, safeguarding the confidentiality of subjects by obtaining, handling and storing data in accordance with ethical guidelines
Assist in project management
Perform data entry, data cleaning, data modification and analysis of survey data
Attend project meetings with internal and external stakeholders
Attend school meetings as necessary
Provided assistance and support to researchers in the collation, analysis and reporting of study findings
Summarize/synthesise findings of the study
Prepare other articles, reports or presentations as necessary
Prepare research manuscripts for publication in journals and provide assistance in the preparation of manuscripts
Can you please suggest an appropriate NOC? As per 4012, the duties are:

http://noc.esdc.gc.ca/English/noc/QuickSearch.aspx?ver=16&val65=4012

Main duties
Grade examinations, term papers and laboratory reports.
Compile research results and assist professors in the analysis of results and the preparation of journal articles or papers.
Post-secondary teaching assistants
Conduct literature reviews, surveys, laboratory experiments and other research for use in scholarly publications
Conduct seminars, discussion groups and laboratory sessions to supplement lectures
Assist in the preparation and administration of examinations
Research assistants
Organize reference materials, visual aids and other materials as required by university professors or college teachers for lectures
This group performs some or all of the following duties:
Post-secondary teaching and research assistants specialize in a subject matter based on their field of study.
There seems to be a mismatch in research/ teaching roles. Kindly offer advice regarding the same. Thanks heaps

Warrisdis?

Raise another money to pay sharpaly.

If for whatever reason, the first one still goes and you end up with double payment, you can get a refund.

Okay, looks like village people have finally gone mad o. They do not know I am like wind that can not be caught!

So I hit submit yesterday and I got the message in the attached screenshot. Who has had a similar experience and how did you resolve it. I used First Bank btw. And now, they are holding the money in Lien, meaning I no longer have access to it. Their exchange rate was evil also, 283.75! Whatsup with that?

1. I still have 2 days left on my deadline from today. That is Monday, 01st April, 2019 (I hope I am not wrong in this assumption?). Anyone knows what time exactly the final whistle blows?

I'm looking to get another set of monies and jejely use a friend's GTB on Monday morning. I hope it will not result to like a double payment or something of the sort?

Oya o, everybody should come and sound off, biko.

It is a Wawu. Congrats in advance.

I think Dec AORs should place calls to confirm about their applications.

wasseynewest:
Hallooo my people. Now i think my APPLICATION is having this same issue with Vivi o!

Wifey called IRCC agent this afternoon, the lady told us that our file has been approved since March 7th and PPR mail already sent.

But we didn't get any mail(not even in my spam & the likes). The lady had to put us on hold for like 3 mins again to confirm very well, she came back affirming her earlier information to us and even requested for my mail id again for confirmation.

Las Las, she said she will contact the officer in charge to send us another PPR mail. Na Prayer we dey since o while we have tried to send some mails as advised here earlier. Thanks famz
AOR was Dec.27th.

Why don't you snapshot the relevant parts, blank out your personal details and attach to a post here.

Mudicua:
Hello everyone,

Trust you all had a nice day. Please please I need someone to help interpret my GCMS notes or give a link where i can find out what all the things they wrote means. My application still says in progress, and nothing new nor different from what I see online.
Please experts and gurus in the house kindly help. Thank you

NB: it was for a student visa applied last year. And i know this is for express entry, but i am thinking some of us may be conversant with the way GCMS notes are written.

Thanks once again.

Maybe.

See if you can get a salary certificate too. Check page 1 for a sample.

Bubblefairy:
Many thanks, appreciate it.
For evidence of payments, is it enough if it's stated in the letter that I was paid cash because to get payslips will be quiet hard.

Presently evaluating OND and HND with WES.

Winter has come.

Ifeoma77:
*Whispering*
AOR has been gathered, and now your watch begins.
It shall not end until your COPR.
You shall take no leisure trips, hold no feasts, extravagantly spend no more.
You shall wear no new clothes/blings and win no new babes.
You shall live and continue to live at your post - CIC website.
You are the sword on the necks of CIC call center agents.
You are the watcher on the walls of NL and CanadaVisa forum.
You are the fire that burns against the cold of LVO/AVO, the light that brings the dawn through NDVO, the horn that wakes the sleepers in OVO, the shield that guards the realms of SS.
You pledge your life and honor to Cannyland, for this night and all the nights to come

OND is post-secondary.

If the job is NOC 0,A or B; you have evidence of payments and can get a reference letter. Why not?

You will put the year you graduated from the ND as the year you became qualified to practice. It may also make sense to evaluate the OND.

Bubblefairy:
Hi, can one claim points for the one year Industrial Attachment after National Diploma if it was paid??

That's a professional body.

It should be under "Organizations" with a start date till date.

iaatmguy:
my wife has CITN, but she got exempted from writing the exams, because she has completed her ICAN.
However, she just did one day induction and was awarded a certificate
how would it be added in personal history ? 2013 January-2013 january
or can we just skip it?

Provide reference letter for all work experience you are claiming points for.

Queencyco:
Please shed more light on this. Do you mean for example that if I am claiming points for " secondary school teacher" and "administrative assistant" , I only need to bring reference letter for the primary NOC? Meaning I don't need to prove the secondary NOC by providing a reference letter for it?

Ask here: https://www.nairaland.com/4180147/all-canadian-provincial-nominee-programs

Sam07045:
Please my people. What provincial nomination is open now? Help a brother

Ok.

WES seems to be inconsistent. Someone reported a few days ago getting 6yrs BSc.

cutieplum:
O.D (Doctor Of Optometry) refers to the certificate of study or qualification that an Optometrist earns at the end of the 6 years study. Just as you'd get LLB for Lawyers or MBBS for Medical Doctors.

You can raise it or not. Do what gives you peace.

Since you submitted both accounts before, you are covered. If you get an ADR, you submit both accounts again. You can add a LOE to explain the transfer.

pejuhazel:
Please o; our POF is fixed in two accounts. Mine and my husband's; the one in my account has matured and has been rolled over. The one in my husband's account has also matured but we are thinking of transferring it to my account to fix as well because my bank gives higher interest.
Now my issue is hope it won't affect our application negatively cos I plan to raise a CSE to submit the new certificate. Our VO is Accra and we are 3 months post AOR. cc @Ifeoma.77 @joo2018 @Tops.mamen
