March break here in Ontario at least, half of the employees must have been on vacation. I hope they start moving again tomorrow onwards.
I don't think it's because of vacation or break etc IMHO.
Here is my analysis:
The target for PRs to be issued in 2024 is 480,000. Assuming there's on average 2 people per application, that's roughly 240,000 eCoPRs that need to be processed.
That's roughly 650 eCoPRs issued every day.
However not all of those 240k principal applicants will be on this forum.
On this forum there are 3-4 threads where people are expecting their eCoPR right now and are messaging about it. That's roghly 20 to 40 people, this includes me.
Let's say 30. But this number is not for the whole year so I can't compare it to 240k above. Let's assume that this number is for the first quarter (Q1 2024). So it's comparable to 240,000 / 4 = 60k
So doing proportions, we should expect 30 / 60000 * 650 eCoPRs issued every day on this forum. That is 0.325 eCoPRs every day, or in other words, roughly 1 lucky user every 3 days.
And we can see that this is indeed the case.
So guys I don't think we need to send emails or calls etc. It's just too many applications and the rate of processing is as expected.
Hope this makes waiting easier. We're all in this together.
