I have realized that a lot of people are having to wait a long time for their PR to come through because the lawyer / agent that they employed are not doing their job properly. Not able to afford a lawyer or agent to represent me and do not want to run the risk of screwing up my application, I have decided to take the matter into my own hands. I would like to share with you my experience and provide you with a general timeline of this entire process. Please note that everyone's case is different and do not base your judgement solely on my example.
I started preparing myself for SINP since June, 2012. The preparation process included, but not limited to:
- work the required hours with certain employers in certain positions
- obtain a positive L.M.O. (Labour Market Opinion)
- establish residential tides in Saskatchewan
- inquire necessary documents according to the Required Documents List
It took me a long time to prep myself, and after about 2 years I was able to submit my SINP application. In July, 2014 the Government of Saskatchewan processed my application. On the SINP website it says the process will take about 3 months, but the SINP Nomination Certificate came through in mid September. Excited, I immediately prepared all the necessary documents and forward my application to the Federal Government. The CIO signed and received my application on September 18, 2014.
Right now I am just waiting to receive my File Number from the CIO and I will keep this thread update, so those of you who are interested have an idea of how long it will take you to obtain your PR from this particular stream.
