Hi, after two and a half years of waiting to hear from the cic about our application for permanent residency under the Skilled Worker route, we at last got a letter from them. Unfortunately the letter did not contain the news that we had been expecting. We were refused due to lack of points, even though we had 68 points. The cic made an error and only awarded my husband 22 out ouf 25 points for his education, as they did not recognise his Dip-Maths-Stat from Cambridge univestity, UK as being a Masters degree. We did raise this point with them but they say that the original assesment is final, and we have been advised independantly that we will not gain anything by pursuing this.
We are now applying under the investor route, we are right at the onset of our application and I was wondering if anyone had recently been down this path, if so how long did it take from start to end.
We have employed an agent based in Vancouver to act for us, they seem confident that we will gain entry this way. The agent seems to think that it will take between 14- 24 months, can anyone confirm this, or does anyone have any advise that they would like to offer.
