Catch to this... You all need to read the entire statement. First of all We don't know how many have been done already. Secondly the last part of the statement is that they are aiming to complete 6000 per month for October, November and December. That would be 18k meaning they would have already approved 31k. Which is hard to believe due to the long pause...So either way we have to wait and see.
There is movement. We just won't be able to see it because we don't have all 18k here on this Forum.
I expect this won't be a popular statement but: the target is to COMPLETE 6000 per month.
They of course don't say this explicitly, but with almost any organisation that states an explicit target like this, the targets are what drive resource decisions.
In other words: expect IRCC staff to focus on files and applications that are
closer to completion. That's how they'll meet the target.
That also means less immediate effort/resources applied to files that are newer - i.e. pre-AOR1. That doesn't mean that work will stop, but that if we see evidence of movement on the targets they announced, we'll see it first for files that are already closer to the finish line.
Of course, clearing out the pipeline of later-stage files will also eventually help the processing of the early-stage ones; it just won't be immediately visible. If there's going to be some improvement in early-stage processing, it'll be from more digitization and organisational adjustments, but they have other emergencies and problems to deal with too. (Digitization etc is not as easy as it sounds)
Just my opinion/guessing, feel free to disagree. (Politely I hope, I'm not trying to offend anyone, just realism)
