PNP nominees wait times uncertain

Though the Provincial Innovation Minister Allan Campbell is confident that immigrants coming to the P.EI. under the Provincial Nominee Program will not have to wait for too long for their visas, there are many who are in no mood to agree to this.

Last week, Mr. Campbell told legislators that Immigration Minister Jason Kenney has assured him that that files of P.EI.’s would not take more than eighteen months to be processed. The duration of eighteen months as stated by him is far too impressive and far from the four or five years wait that is bring predicted by the federals.

In contrast to the statements of Mr. Campbell, a Citizenship and Immigration Canada spokesperson said in an email to The Guardian that the applicants should be informed of the estimated processing times, which, as of now, they predict to be even five years in some cases due to significant numbers of submissions.

Mr. Campbell believes that there has been some sort of miscommunication between the federal minister and the bureaucrats who are consistently speaking with the media.

All said and done, but in between all this its immigrants who are suffering and immigrants who are eagerly waiting for their visas have the right to know as to when they will possibly be getting the documentation they are waiting for. So, getting in touch with Mr. Kenney and making things clear must be the first priority of Mr. Campbell.

They need to understand that there is a huge difference between eighteen months and five years, actually one is more than thrice the other.
