Could anyone explain the advisory found in http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/manila/immig/servstan-en.asp
Processing Times for Permanent Resident applications
Due to processing targets for 2005 and backlog of higher priority applications, we do not currently expect to review applications received after May 01, 2002, any further before the second quarter of 2006, or later.
about processing time in Manila?...
do they mean that all applications lodged from May 2002 to present will not be entertained until second quarter of 2006, or later.?....
Kindly elaborate... thanks...

I think CIC will assess your documents in 3 to 6 months time but maybe will give the decision in the 2nd quarter of 2006.
We applied Feb. 2001, got AOR Aug. 2001 and passed the interview last Feb. 15, 2005. We will have the medical in March 1, 2005. And hopefully PP request in 3 to 6 months.

do you have any idea if it´ll take 5 years for my papers to process?. my husband and i are both IT professionals with both over 6 years experience. we have a 3 yo son. we applied for independent skilled-worker immigrant. so far all documents reqd from the checklist are done. esp. employment certificates/ reference letters authenticated by DFA as well as our civil registry records. my husband is currently working abroad as programmer and im a system´s analyst. I am the principal applicant since my husband wont be able to have the documents prepared due to some time/work constraints.
thanks for some inputs.

I think CIC Manila is making it fair to all applicants. Don´t you know that most of pre-2001 applicants waited for 4-5 years for the finalization of their applications? It doesn´t matter who you are and what are you into. If you are on queue, then you have to do nothing but wait.

I took the exam (Essay and Reading Comprehension) first because I did not have IELTS. The Reading comprehension was about Spiders and Its Habitat. It was easy because all the answers were all there (5 questions). My essay was to give 3 characteristics that I have that will make me succeed in Canada.
The first question he asked was if I had relatives in Canada. Then he asked me about my job (I?m a pharmacist), the usual prescription for asthma, my preparations in coming to Canada, if I know the apartment rental in Vancouver (it?s my port of entry), and that?s it! He then gave us the medical forms and advised us to comply within a month.
I was scheduled at 10:00 a.m. but my husband and I went there 7:45. Be there early and don?t be nervous. Canadian´s are kind people and you have nothing to fear and everything to offer. Don?t memorize all your answers especially pertaining to your job description. You internalize your answers so as not to miss anything. I wish you all the luck on your interview.
