By centralizing the intake of federal skilled worker applications, we are alleviating    some of the workload in our overseas visa offices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>    The pilot project will run for 18 months, in which CIC will evaluate its effectiveness and make adjustments as necessary.<\/p>\n<p>    Other efforts to reduce wait times include: sending more staff to overseas visa offices where wait times are the longest and redistributing work from these    offices to others that are less busy. CIC will also be reconfirming the immigration intentions of applicants who have been waiting the longest.<\/p>\n<p> Please visit:  <br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/teo-bg.com\/en\/tractors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Our Sponsor<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) recently announce a pilot project that will centralize the receipt of new Federal Skilled Worker applications at the Case Processing Centre in Sydney, Nova Scotia.
