It is entertaining to watch CEC applicants to post “Finally! COPR!” on facebook and then looking at their timeline to see that they had waited for 2-4 months max hahaha
1) Currently their 2022 quota is a bit higher that their 2021, but every year they release in parliament their 3 year plan for immigration. It could increase, just like 2021 increased from their previous plan in 2020. The current plan is basically in line with the backlog, if they don't clear anything else from economic this year, then they would not need draws next year.Happy to see some numbers which make sense from these tweets and news sources. It has been so vague all of last year.
So right now, there are 550k applications in the backlog, of which 250k are Economic Class, of which 100k are Express Entry?
And they have hinted or stated no draws till a certain threshold of backlogs are cleared.
And if 2022 targets are 411k apps with 241k in Economic class, that means IRCC have their hands full with the pending applications.
A couple of questions hang for a definitive answer on when we can expect draws -
1. What's their 2022 quota for EE? Is it the same ratio of 100/250 as of the backlog? Or better, or worse?
2. How much is their 2021 quota and how many of the 100k EEs can we expect to be cleared by end of December.
Realistically, expect nothing during Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year weeks.
I don’t see a conflict of interest with them posting this particular article though. I mean the news is negative on the prospect of future fsw draws which is unfavorable for them.I mean, the fact that it is directly attached to the Campbell Cohen firm (and this forum by extension) should have given folks pause. Not because they would post anything fake, but because of the blurring of lines (and conflict of interest)
I can't seem to understand his immigration numbers.The memo was released in twitter.
At the time the memo was created(September 3rd) those within IRCC were expecting that at the end of 2021, there would be a PR backlog of 760k left to process in the following year. That was considering the information and problems they had at that time. In the memo they were also scheduling a meeting to discuss actions.I can't seem to understand his immigration numbers.
Can someone please explain this to me " In September the IRRC expected 760,000 peple to be in its inventory by the end of 2021" ?
How ? I am a little confused this morning.
Does this mean eligibility was not confirmed or IRCC just decided to ask again?Classic example of “Fcuk around and find out”:
Bloke takes the funds out to invest in stocks. 2 days later, IRCC requested for updated funds. Dmub fcuk move.
Has Delhi woken up? Or still sleeping?Visa offices - Sydney, Nairobi, Paris, Accra and Edmonton woke up but still lazy
Still in long slumber. Now it all boils down to the respective VOs. If they really wanna clear their backlogs in record time (just the way they did/doing for CEC applications), they can do it with ease. Most FSW backlogs have passed most stages (except maybe Security in some recent files) and extending PPRs is a no big deal now. Not sure what only these VOs such as NDVO, Accra VO, Vancouver VO are doing now.Has Delhi woken up? Or still sleeping?
I remember there was a tweet by ircc that there's gonna be a huge delay regarding student permit applications that's submitted after November 1, warning students to let their respective DLI's know about this issue and take necessary steps.Still in long slumber.

There are no student intakes as well currently. Definitely something is holding them off and God knows what that is.
If not now, then it might be even longer, cos a deadly variant from South Africa seems to scare everyone now.
This made sense when we didn't have vaccines and shit but if the reaction is still the same after vaccines it's just dumb.European Union moves to halt air travel from southern Africa over coronavirus variant
U.K. already said it's banning flights from South Africa and five other southern African countries
The European Union aims to halt air travel from the southern African region amid rising concern about a new COVID-19 variant detected in South Africa, EU Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said on Friday.
"The Commission will propose, in close co-ordination with member states, to activate the emergency brake to stop air travel from the southern African region due to the variant of concern B.1.1.529," she said in a tweet.
The executive Commission will recommend that all 27 member states implement the measure and hopes for the European Council to give the green light as soon as possible, an EU official said.
Britain temporarily banned flights from South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Lesotho and Eswatini from Friday, and asked returning British travellers from those destinations to quarantine.
The variant has a "very unusual constellation" of mutations, which are concerning because they could help it evade the body's immune response and make it more transmissible, South African scientists say.
Scientists are still assessing the new virus variant, first identified this week. Its discovery on Friday pummelled financial markets in Asia, where stocks suffered their sharpest drop in three months and oil plunged more than three per cent.
Decisions of the European Council, which represents member states, do not have to be taken by ministers but can also be signed off by the country's ambassadors in Brussels.
