Agree.Program like EE is far more digital where applications directly goes to GCMS. In tr to pr they have to import applications into gcms from this new portal. Who knows with all these applications full of flaws it won't be easy to import into gcms just like that. All these system integrations work according to certain data integrity standards. Express entry takes care of these data integrities upfront hence we get AOR within 24 hrs. IF user data is messed up (flawed pr applications) then the integration process goes manual (hence the delay). Without application in gcms, AOR won't be issued for sure.
Not sure if IRCC accounted for the fact that there will be pr applications with flaws and designed the system accordingly or even they are surprised to see so many faulty pr apps.
Ques - how IMM 5669 form data get into GCMS in tr to pr ? In EE , this data updated directly on a web page/form and goes into gcms when we submit ITA.
I hope IRCC is not seeing the forms with the human eye and typing the data manually into GCMS, that would be horrendous/primitive. Far from "digital".
There are errors in the form 0190 and the unclear language of the Guide 5069 (before and on May 5, then May 6) that confused the applicants in the urgent situation. Ex. except form 0008, most of people "print-signed-scanned-upload" other forms. The machine couldn't read the scanned PDF causing the unexpected stopping and waiting to figure out how to continue the process while are back to square one checking and typing manually.
Essentially, the new form 0190 did the same thing as EE's CRS, and replaced the ITA step, but it failed. Other forms, if the candidate does it correctly, will have an AOR within 48 hours. With connections to GCMS, UCI, IME etc... the process will be very fast. That s what I think. The rest, human will involves.
The process somehow was simple, but turned out complicate because both sides were not have enough time to prepare
