The rules have changed.

I have just seen on the immigration website that the rules regarding immigration processing have changed. The Immigration Department can now be more selective of those they want to immigrate sooner to fulfil short term labour needs. From the information I have gathered they are interested in people who have post secondary education (university) and they will be looking to process those applications faster, depending on the degree/job. What this means for me I have no idea, I do fall into the wanted category, but from what I can see there does not seem to be a major lack of Legal Assistants in Canada.

The processing times have also changed. The minimum processing time for the London Office is now 31 months, up from 26 months previously. On the plus side the maximum processing time is now 38 months, a big drop from the 5 years previously. I am assuming the new processing rules may vary these times.

In all honesty it takes as long as it takes. So long as I get there in the end it will all be worth it.
