In the beginning of the speech they saidThings that caught my attention:
- I mentioned earlier that we were getting ready to process between 35,000 and 44,000 applications this year. We will be making sure the various streams are fairly represented, despite the low volume of applications. ---> The 35k-44k applications processed this year won't necessarily be the first 44k but a % of each stream.
“The department plans to process 35,000 to 44,000 of the applications received last week by December 31.”
Later they mentioned that all streams would be equally represented in those 35-44k (as much as possible)
So, I am just curious would it be really only application from the first week? Or they will get some later submitted apps from essential workers and French streams.
