I guess the argument would be that people that are invited post July/august would count towards 2023 targets
Hi Ak1664!
I don't think IRCC follows the FIFO strategy. I assume that IRCC have its own priority pattern which is based on an application's parameters only, not FIFO. And I think the priority list may look like something like this:
1) Inland CEC with extended medicals
2) Applicants with fresh medicals who have all the assessment stages passed, and are just waiting for finalising their applications.
3) Applicants with fresh medicals who have their eligibility passed.
4) Applicants with fresh medicals who have their R10 passed.
5) Applicants with expired medicals who have all the assessment stages passed.
6) Applicants with expired medicals who have their eligibility passed.
7) Applicants with expired medicals who have their R10 passed.
8) Applicants who need to add spouses/kids with all their docs to be assessed from the very beginning.
9) Applicants with unpredictably complex applications
I put points 4-7 in the given order because I believe that applications with expired medicals are placed in a different 'pool' in the information system IRCC officers use until new medicals are uploaded and re-assessed by doctors, not usual IRCC officers.
