Although the backlog is still increasing, the number of cases for EE (especially FSW/CEC) has been consistenly decreasing, and decreasing fast.
Obviously there is no way to tell if they are going to increase the draw size tomorrow or in the upcoming draws, but speaking selfishly, I hope your prediction is wrong again lol.
This time I happen to be correct.
Ppl talk about that the backlog for CEC and FSW was reduced significantly, so it seems that the 10 months suspension of EE worked and is worth it.
I don’t understand why is that.
What was the goal? The goal was to invite applicants in a scale that meets the annual plan and to process them within 6 months.
Now the plan of 2023 requires each draw to invite almost 3k not including PNP applicants, but now they can only do 1/3 of it because otherwise they cannot meet the 6 months service standard.
The goal wasn't achieved, so the 10 months suspension didn't work to a large extent.
Last month an opposition party member criticized IRCC at parliament saying there is nothing but chaos in this department. I think it is a quite fair evaluation.
