I have approved job by FSW Deptt and total 78 points.
CIO received my PR application on 8 June 2010.
My full documents were received by new delhi visa office on 15 January 2011.
1. On 26/6/2010, the PR rules changed, drastically. The previous 'fast-track system' was superseded.
2. A new MI list came up, with 29 NOCs, which were [supposed] to be under 'demand' [vide HRSDC].
3. The new system 'also' REMOVED the 120 days letter stage; and now the complete docs submission was to CIO-NS.
4. CIC overseas offices were not in immediate sync with the policy changes. It took sometime to settle down.
5. Things started to go wary with most 'older' cases.
6. Then came 2011... Feb-Mar saw discussions between the CIC Minister & industry stalwarts.
7. Which revamped the CIC 'need' once again... the details r posted in the CIC website & their newsletters.
8. Hereon, CIC chose to 'prioritize' the 29 NOCs -- keeping the 'older' ones, who were not in that list, under abeyance.
9. Two separate processing queues were introduced... the "pre-26/6" & the "post-26/6".
10. RESULT? The 'pre-26/6' cases went to the backstage*, regretfully though !
