Guys, lets analyze the situation a bit, shall we?
I think the IRCC are processing 40k applications a month and from this week they are working at full capacity.
Right now they are working on CEC applications from March 7 and 13, 2021.
From that period up to now there are:
- 73,279 CEC and PNP ITAs
- 20,000 Health workers stream
- 30,000 Essential non-health care workers stream
- 40,000 International graduates stream
- I don't know how many FSW applications are backlogged, but lets put a number on them and say 55,000
- Other than these, I don't know.
So, they give us a total of 218,279 applications. At a speed of 40k a month, all of them would be processed by April 2022.
I am just following simple math here.
If we were to say that ALL PROGRAM draws resumes in January, and you receive an ITA, your application will be processed by June 2022. Not 1.5 or 2 years. You will land in Canada by July 2022.
Plus, please let us give a chance to the new minister and see what happens. For us, he only needs to maintain this processing speed and start the FSW draws.
