Dear Quorax & all,
I hope you have gone through OAG audit House of Commons Committees .
I found certain points from which i expact Backlog clearance path by CIC will be clear in near future.
(1)Citizenship and Immigration Canada identify specific objectives by 30 September 2010 for
the next ministerial instructions issued under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
So there will new ministerial instructions by end of 30 Sept. I also found on other forum that CHC london replied to applicant to wait for theire decision becoz they are going to get new ministerial instructions .
(2) Since key provisions of the departments’ action plans are not scheduled to be implemented until December 2010 at the earliest.
So i belives that strong processing will be seen by the end of Dec. 2010 .
(3) RECOMMENDATION 4
That Citizenship and Immigration Canada provide to the Public Accounts Committee by 31 January 2011 its roadmap on the future of the immigration program.
So we can expact that we will get clear road map by the end of 2010.
(4) the implementation of GCMS internationally is scheduled to begin in June 2010, almost 10 years after the initial launch of the project. According to the OAG, as a result of the delays in implementing the system, employees in offices abroad are still burdened by paperwork and spend a great deal of time on clerical tasks.
During the Committee meeting, the Deputy Minister of CIC indicated that there is a “great expectation” for GCMS to allow CIC to manage its caseload more efficiently by making it possible for immigration cases to be processed from any office around the world using a single system.
so GCMS immplementation will help fast the processing of application .
Please share your thoughs.
Regards,
Mayank
