I'm Feb 2020 FSW-O (non-US), also received survey today.
FSW WORLDWIDE
- Thread starter js555
- Start date
On the second one I just put disagree, because I do believe they consider our feelings. Before every action they think of what would make us suffer the most and do exactly that.Had fun answering this part:
It’s obvious that virtually everyone would express their dissatisfaction in that survey. Is there a possibility that IRCC would for once show empathy and take the responses gathered seriously and act accordingly?
One would assume that's the point of the survey.
I hope so. FSW applications are many electronic; it shouldn’t be a big deal clearing most of that backlog especially as many are already in their final stage of processing. They really need to ease people from their long sufferings
Then I suppose this is like a direct response to the public backlash they’ve recently been getting from disgruntled Federal skilled applicants from the press and social media. Lol

Good. Now let's double the dose.

We see why we should always raise our voice instead of bashing those who do. The forum is entirely different now than what it was a few weeks ago.
Possibly. Usually surveys like this have to go through a ton of rounds of feedback and approval. So i suspect they have been working on it for a while at least.
MANMEET S. RAI:
What to make of all the documents and internal instructions posted earlier:
1. Applications are being processed. The pace may be slow, but most applications filed in 2019/2020 have been processed and most stages have been cleared. Some even have a decision made.
2. The applications have been grouped based on document expiry, medicals, etc. for the ease of finalizing them once border restrictions ease. See the documents posted earlier.
3. Until the borders re-open, the restrictions are significantly eased, and the federal government on the recommendation of Public Health Agency of Canada allows foreign travellers, IRCC cannot start issuing PPR/COPRs. Also once the PPRs/COPR are being issued, country-specific conditions will impact them and also the sheer volume of applicants who are all waiting. However, most PPRs are sent in batches and you will see a large volume of PPRs soon.
4. A PR applicant / FSW outland / PNP outland etc. are not separate categories under law. All restrictions and conditions applicable to a foreign national/traveller are also applicable for a PR applicant. Only after an applicant presents herself at the port of entry, is examined and admitted into Canada, they attain a PR status. Or when they are issued an e-COPR after virtual landing (for applicants physically in Canada). Stop looking for specific instructions for PR applicants/FSW/Outland applicants etc.
5. Federal elections are expected to be announced this month and will most likely be held in September. During an election, all federal agencies will continue to work as normal and any policy change for the long run will only take place after the new government is formed. However, some decisions may be delayed such as further reduction of border restrictions, but will not affect any applications already being processed.
6. Why is IRCC not issuing PPR/COPRs? The answer is simple. Until an applicant can travel to Canada issuing a travel document does not make sense as it may expire. When a document expires, the file has to be reopened, some checks may have to be re-done/extended and new documents issued. This is time-consuming as compared to finalizing an application and issuing a document for a file already open, knowing that the applicant can travel and there will no need to issue now documents.
If you are waiting for a decision on your application, expect news in September/October, based on the COVID situation in Canada and how far the border restrictions are eased.
Finally, do not get bogged down by rumours and fear-mongering. All the Twitter frenzy being targetted towards Canadian Immigration and Citizenship / Marco Mendicino, Minister of Immigration, should be instead targeted towards Justin Trudeau, and Public Health Agency of Canada, they are going to make a decision on when borders will be opened and for whom. IRCC will merely follow in their footsteps.
