My understanding is that many officers who would normally be processing FSW were reallocated to process CEC. So the sooner they get done with the CEC backlog, the sooner they get back to FSW files.
I don't think that will happen as long as cec draws continue. I think with the border opening we are seeing movement in fsw applications even though insignificant. After sep 20 with political stunts coming to an end I think the pace will increase.
I can't even find a pattern or even a rational conclusion about fsw draws though but I think once fsw applications in process starts moving fast the draws will happen even though many are saying fsw is dead I felt the same when I missed the draw for 4 months march 15 2020 I was just going to submit but at that time I had exactly 3 years of exp so I thought to wait for a week or 2 an the apply ,that pushed me till aug I was having a score of 478 ,july they had a draw missed in tie break ,I thought man that is over I started looking even in latin American countries I lost hope then aug 5 got ita after a few months in dec 2020 ircc stopped draws for fsw
So what I meant is IRCC is highly unpredictable .No point in speculation , these are not new information here everyone knows all this but just mentioning at this point we can't do nothing other than to wait.
This wait has taught me a lot if I got the pr in first draw I might not have appreciated the pr much because it was too easy but now trust me I appreciate each and every step in my application. Sometimes you learn in the hard way.I thought US immigration was the toughest but experience taught me the only difference is USics is upfront with what they are doing but IRCC is not which makes it even tougher.
