I will fax CIC New Delhi just to know whats going on. Sharon abou the class action suit - Rasolazadeh case. I did recieve a letter on that and I just kept it aside. By the way folks Iam not a techie maybe thats got something to do with why its taking so long, but I did meet my 75 point criteria back in 2000. Iam a marine biologist. Finished my PhD in the US and my life in the world for the most part is out in the ocean on a boat :). The organization I work for has started my green card processing so I guess then the US option would work out just fine. As for becoming a Canuck I guess thats going to be a distant dream for now. I guess I can rely on the good old US of A. Cheers! and good luck to all of you.

as long as you got the letter that tells me that you have not been lost in the system somewhere. That had me concerned. You cannot go to the US- we need someone to save our fish! (we are far greener here) I hope CIC gets off their duff and you get some news soon.

if you do not get a reply... I would consider moving your application to Buffalo. at least it is easier to track and I have heard that it can take as little as 18 months for a sw app.

If you have serious professional ambitions and drive to succeed, you will move forward regardless where you happen to be. However, US is a better place for the simple reason that the US functions more like a professional technocratic system and there is more money in science (more likelyhood for you to have a job or funding, if you are into academia). I am amazed you kept your file active with CIC for this many years! I ditched the US INS process within a year after not seeing light at the end of the tunnel. I am an independent contractor so I needed to push things at a defined pace or run into troubles with the INS. On the other hand, so far CIC seems to function much faster than the US INS process (in my perception). I am at loss to make sense of why you were stuck in this process for 5 years! No country is worth that kind of wait unless you have no hope whatsoever in the country where you are living. good luck with living in the US. I am bound for Canada... But then I am also semi-retired so US doesn´t have that much attraction to me any longer (I screwed around here for 18 years).

Sorry American Refuse...
If you could not make it in USA for 18 years... Canada may not be a place for your either. I mean how can you just not make it in 18 year?

Simple answer mister. Never applied, until a year ago. I lived on UN papers until recently but the new US INS laws compelled to seek residency. I gave one year to the US and it did not work. I am coming to Canada just to hang out. Not particularly interested in working there... The quiet and the beauty of Canadian rockies (I will find out about the rest of the country once I get there) is enough reason to want to move there. I am now in a concrete jungle. So I ain´t got nothing to make in Canada except hang out, make friends among other retired folks and enjoy the weather, so to say. Low crime and slow pcae of Canada is actually an attractant for ppl like me. I will be seeing ya soon..... From a Calgary high rise!
