Sol2Oz Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Chin up! clearly, those updates don't really mean much. Point in case, during the last update of August 9th, there were people in October who were getting CO's, so.... :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

virtual_bajwa Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Anyways If we think it twice even 12 September is not bad. But it should be october. It means there are some October and september applicants left. With this speed of processing of category 4 offshore. It will take 3 more 3 more months to reach cateogry 5 offshore. But this is sure that arounf 80% of october applicants are allocated. DIAC want to be on the safer side. Let us assume onething that how many more applicants from category 4 they will allocate until they will start cat 5 offshore? Let us see upto March 2012.

SHandGH Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 DIAC's webpage just got updated and this has to be slowest update ever. group 4 only till 12 Sep 11 and Grp 5 till 22 Dec 08.....The yearly quota for sure has reached its peak and processing is slowing down considerably. Sept 12.... i dont like this. i hope Ricky D is wrong about the quota thing. i hope they are just a bit tired from all the "hard work" and are slowing down to get a breather... and will get back to serious business by next update. Post Sept applicants (especially the Nov crew *wink*) are ready to move on! Guys, this has been a very positive update. DIAC are moving so quickly compared to a couple of months ago when they were almost going backwards. DIAC are always way ahead of the dates they specify on the update page. Just look at the fortnightly update as an official indication of how things are progressing. Unofficially go by the information you get on this thread as it is much more accurate. Speculation on the update page has never been all that helpful in my opinion.

Guest heidim Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I think that DIAC is being SUPER cautious and they could be down to November with only one outstanding case in September, but then put the September date. I think that they hold back a couple of weeks to discourage people from enquiring and contacting them as they then may be bombarded with enquiries... Just my guess..

Anyways the issue is resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NatsB Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Moving over a month while busy with easter holidays is quite good in my opinion. After July no further applications are being accepted (just the EOI system) so I suspect they will be pushing to get all the old categories finalised while limiting new applications at first.

Poeribbo Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Just a quick update on our situation: We still havent received any communication from DIAC after changing to ABFP on Feb 24th ie No email from CO to our agent or us. We called the DIAC this morning to enquire how our case is going, the advisor on the other end confirmed that we HAVE been assigned a case officer around a month ago, our application is currently going through " routine checks" and we can be "rest assured" that our application is currently being worked on. Reassuring to know but still so frustrating!!!!!!!:wacko: The wait continues............................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
