Let's talk about immigrants application status.
There are two routes of country residency
a. Federal Skilled Worker Program
b.Provincial Nominee Program
This two routes are in the midst of CHANGE! The Federal Skilled Program is currently on HOLD.Can just imagine the total backlogs application is 925,000 which is subject to new Canadian Bill.whew!!

What Does this Bill all about?

• Come up with a list of priority skills and process those in the queue that match in the list.
• Return application not in the list and refund visas paid fee
• Retain other applications for future consideration..

For me to be an immigrant with no sponsor is sturdy and challenging.If you gonna aim "Be Patience".Sometimes, its a luck too...
