Looking at the Excel tracking sheets for Citizenship Applications in this forum, I see around 50 applicants for each month applying for Citizenship in this forum... considering this is a small sample of applicants. Anyone know approximately how many applications CIC receives per month ?
Any guess how many Citizenship Applications CIC receives every month ?
- Thread starter user3000
- Start date
CIC received approx 56,000 applications in first 9 months of 2016. So approx 6200/Month
Below is the extract from the cbc.ca article
"A sharp fee increase has helped fuel a dramatic drop in the number of immigrants applying to become Canadian citizens, according to immigration advocates.
In the first nine months of 2016, there were 56,446 applications filed for citizenship, a decrease of nearly 50 per cent from the same period a year earlier, when 111,993 applications were submitted.
The figures are included in a briefing by former Immigration and Citizenship director general Andrew Griffith prepared for the Senate social affairs, science and technology committee, which begins hearings this week on Bill C-6, a law to amend the Citizenship Act."

The fees increased about 4 times but the number of applications dropped by half. SoToronto_13 said:

Official Data:
Intake:
April 2015 - December 2015: 81,716 (9076/mo)
April 2015 - March 2016: 100,168 (8347/mo)
January 2016 - March 2016: 18,452 (6150/mo)
April 2016 - December 2016: 75,302 (8366/mo)
Output:
April 2015 - December 2015: 201,284 (22,364/mo)
April 2015 - March 2016: 251,563 (20,963/mo)
January 2016 - March 2016: 50,279 (16,759/mo)
April 2016 - December 2016: 85,463 (9,495/mo)
Approval Rate: 93% (means 7% are rejected)
Inventory:
31 December 2015: 80,667
31 December 2016: 59,263
Intake was dropped after June 2015 then increased after June 2016 due to C-24 3/4 to 4/6 change.
output was surged 2015-2016 due to C-24 simplified approval procedure change.
Right now it appears intake and output are balanced (8000-9000/mo) so the inventory could remain the same level of 60,000. Then the end-to-end time is about 7 months.

Bear in mind intake could be still increasing slowly right now as the 3/4 - 4/6 change should take 2 years until June 2017 to fully digested (extra 1 year PR and extra 1 year pre-PR credit).
But if C-6 (4/6 - 3/5 change) kicks in any time, there will be sudden intake surge (could dump 2 years worth intake about 200,000 immediately), cause inventory surge 200,000 at the same time, then the processing time will also add extra 2 years on top of current 7 months accordingly if the output remains same.
In summary, right now, total time is 4y PR + 7m processing time. After C-6, total time is 3y PR + 2y7m processing time. But if someone just meets 4 years PR at the same time of C-6 effective date, (s)he would be the most unlucky one as the total time becomes 4y PR + 2y7m processing time.

It's calculated based on the CIC offical data of intake/output/inventory trend during last 2 years.itsmyid said:
