    They promised to speed up applications to 6000 a month as per that link. But they've not met their targets so far. Only achieving 56% of their goal. So average of 3300 files per month. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/separated-spouses-face-tremendous-strain-immigration-1.5852063

    He's not, he's just optimistic. He initially projected all 2020 files would be finished by December 2020. It's alright to be optimistic but don't put too much weight in what you see posted here.
