Yeah that makes sense. They wouldn't have issued this extention if they weren't expecting to spend the first quarter processing inland applications. They probably realized that some inland folks' medicals are about to expire and didn't want to deal with the shitshow of issuing, receiving, and reviewing remedical requests and results.
The problem with IRCC's system is that they cannot distinguish applications based on inland or outland, just based on category otherwise we would have seen finalizations of FSW and PNP inland which did not happen. They even ignored 2020 CEC applications in favor of mega CEC draws and the 2021 target.
Basically, those whose application was left behind for whatever reasons, gets stuck. There has been a different side effect of this issue. Prioritizing inland and processing 400K inland application has created MASSIVE queues in RCMP PCCs. IF, for any reason you end up getting a RCMP PCC request (happened to my wife), you can kiss your application good bye. If you think IRCC are a bunch of assholes, RCMP is an arsehole suffering from explosive diarrhea! They were typically supposed to process a fingerprint based PCC in 3 days if you do not have any record... These days they are taking 90 days... So... few inland applications (like mine) can get arbitrarily delayed for no fault of ours.
So you are telling if ircc is asking for pcc again, the second time then it is fucked up? My only concern is when are they planning to end this shit show. I think the new guy is as shit as mm.
Look how alpha I look in that picturehehe
Public safety minister calls on Twitter Canada to address 'abusive' tweet directed at CMA president
Marco Mendicino writes letter saying tweet poses risks to health-care workers
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino is calling on Twitter Canada to address a tweet sent to Canadian Medical Association president Dr. Katharine Smart, saying the tweet "poses risks to the health and safety of health-care workers."
His letter, addressed to Twitter Canada's managing director, Paul Burns, concerns a tweet sent to Smart on Dec. 22 by an account under the handle "@AsktheBrownDoc1."
"Are you scared you are next @KatharineSmart?" the tweet reads. "A group of us who can't stand you have been seeing you and your family for weeks ... and already have some great footage ... just biding our time for the perfect time!"
In his letter, Mendicino said the tweet is threatening.
"I am writing to express serious concerns regarding an abusive tweet that was recently posted to Canadian Medical Association President Dr. Katharine Smart's Twitter timeline and which poses risks to the health and safety of healthcare workers in the discharge of their professional responsibilities," the letter reads.
The letter says Smart reported the tweet to Twitter but that the social media company ruled it did not violate its policies. The company did not remove the tweet.
However, the Twitter account behind it appears to have been deleted.
Mendicino said he disagrees with Twitter's decision not to remove the tweet.
"I am asking you to reconsider your decision to leave the tweet on your platform, given that it appears to directly contravene your rules, and because allowing such comments to be published also puts healthcare workers at risk of further abuse and intimidation," Mendicino said in the letter.
"If left published and unchecked, the content in question could negatively impact the ability of healthcare workers to inform and provide advice to the public regarding the pandemic," he continued.
The letter mentions that Smart reported the tweet to the police.
Mendicino mentioned that Bill C-3, legislation that recently received royal assent, will soon make it a criminal offence for someone to impede a health professional from performing their duties.
"Parliament's speedy passage of Bill C-3 reflects the urgency of this issue," Mendicino said. "However, we cannot rely alone on the criminal law to solve the problem."
"Social media platforms equally have a role to play in rooting out harmful online content. The December 22, 2021 tweet directed at Dr. Smart, as well as many others within the healthcare sector, highlights the significance of that role," he continued.
In a statement to CBC News, a Twitter Canada spokesperson said, "Abuse, harassment and hateful conduct have no place on our service and are against the Twitter Rules.
"As a company, promoting healthy participation on Twitter is our top priority," the statement continues. "We recognize the concerns health practitioners have regarding social media, and we are committed to creating healthy experiences on Twitter."
If you are post AOR, there is more hope for your application next year as IRCC is actively trying to clear out backlogs and they will likely ramp up this next year. A lot of people who have received re med requests are likely to make the numbers for next years target.
Honestly man, I hope IRCC clears the backlog quickly and does whatever they want afterward. More grandpa draws? I really don't care at this point.
I think marco don't know about this forum, people in this forum abused his 6 generations lol.hehe

They def can distinguish from inland and outland. If they look at who are qualified to apply for BOWP then they'll know who are inland. It's just they don't want to distinguish.
One thing I understood about ircc aka Canada is you can never trust them.pre ita folks are missing a point ielts,eca,..are huge business run by the western world, so if they go an announce that they are not going to conduct draws guess what happens loss of customers for British council, idp..wes.post ita hmm you know what happened last year they did a stupid granpa draw that was like stupid, 75 point cec draw and they stopped processing applications, which means they can do what ever they feel like . For Canada you are just a number nothing else.
