Does anyone know why CIO is so slow in processing cases now?
That's a good question. I hope there's an answer but alas I am just as lost as you are.

They are giving priority to MI-1 applications since they are attempting to clean the backlog.

It is either that or they are still sorting new processes out and perhaps ramping up resources (some new folks might take time to learn) too for the new changes.

new regulations do not apply for previous cases so I don't think it is the case. I think they should have taken an year off instead of just 6 months. They will be totally unable to process all the applications until the new streams open again.

Disappointed about this stream. I should let my wife go to PNP instead although it spends 1k extra. But it is TOTALLY WORTH!!! :mad:

I suggest a surge of people sending questions to @kenneyjason at twitter. I asked him what happened to our applications after buffalo closed. Try asking him if we are given less priority due to the backlog.

TRT_Flynn which province are you in? I suppose you are the primary applicant and your wife isn't. So she could still go ahead and apply for PR under PNP - but would you need to retract your application for this stream then?

I am in ON. Not certain if need or not, but I am pretty sure that they will not refund me. So even I can do this, extra 2k is AN amount I should consider seriously. Moreover, I still have a tiny little hope on their processing speed in fall and winter.

I agree. I'll probably say something to along this line. Can you post the link to that Twitter then?

I mean, to the specific post where you asked the question. If a lot of people start replying, then it may be enough for him to start paying attention, and probably say something too. I love technology :)

He hasn't replied mine. I sent twice already. The idea is to get a lot of people to ask stuff so he reply to some of us
