MS teams can now accommodate 1000 users in a meeting. I wonder if this can help IRCC to accelerate the oath process.

I think the big problem is that IRCC has to account for if people drop out of a meeting and don't complete the Oath; this is why I was punting around the idea of doing it in an open-air space with proper social distancing - you could knock out the oaths "toot sweet" as the French say (Yes, the misspelling is intentional.

They missed their window implementing this, I believeI think the big problem is that IRCC has to account for if people drop out of a meeting and don't complete the Oath; this is why I was punting around the idea of doing it in an open-air space with proper social distancing - you could knock out the oaths "toot sweet" as the French say (Yes, the misspelling is intentional.
I saw recently someone said they accommodated ~ 100 applicants. That's 100% increase of what I used to see. Maybe if they increase to 200 or 300 that would be a game changer in the oath backlog. They would need to allocate more agents for the registration, which shouldn't be an issue if they do it once a week.
I'll stand in -40C outside to do the Oath tomorrow, if that's what it takes
Aye, I tend to severely limit online (anti)social media interactions. I'm also not sure about the wisdom of aggravating IRCC under my real name on Twitter (although I suppose I could use a handle, although I think that they would be more inclined to ignore that...)
Minister's Office suggested a channel to raise complaints. You can input your specific file in the complaint.

Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino says Canada will accept twice as many Afghan refugees as it had previously announced, letting the world know at the United Nations.
“At the UN, Canada announced we will double our humanitarian resettlement commitment from 20,000 to 40,000 Afghan refugees,” tweeted Mendicino.
“Through our efforts, we will offer a new home for Afghan refugees while upholding democracy and human rights around the world.”
I dont like to be rude but please allow me to show him a BIG Middle finger
Canada’s Largesse to Afghans Likely to Clog Up the Processing of Other Applications, Some Complain
The United Nations appreciates Canada’s willingness to provide safe haven for refugees. But not everyone shares that enthusiasm.
On Twitter, many people trying to gain permanent residence in Canada saw this latest announcement as Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) putting their own applications on hold.
“You are bringing refugees at the expense of other applications,” alleged one Twitter user. “IRCC didn’t increase its capacity to process files simultaneously.
“IRCC under your leadership decided to put our lives on hold indefinitely. Our lives have been put on hold since March 2020.”
Another Twitter user urged Mendicino to clear the backlog of applications under spousal and family reunification programs before opening the door to more refugees.
“Clear the backlogs. How many families are getting affected by delays as a result?” he tweeted. “I haven’t seen my family in two years and there are many more like me. Five years in Canada and still waiting for my decision. IRCC just requests documents and doesn’t do anything.”

Ok, I did my test. I am going to use my Twitter account to constantly ask IRCC to get their head out of the sand and speed up the applications. You don't need to use your real name. Make an account on Twitter and put the IRCC handle @CitImmCanada in your twit and ask them to get their act together. There's literally no cost to you except 2 minutes a day to write a tweet. Worst case, nothing comes out of it.
I just noticed that people who are waiting for their PRs are active on Twitter demanding IRCC to process paper applications. they use #IRCCdoesntcare. we can use the same hashtag or something like #clearthebacklog or something similar.
