That certainly is true, that's been going around for a while mate. It started initially with CHCs in USA replying to applicants that priorities has been changed by parliament of Canada and more people have applied than what they were expecting, taking that into consideration, they've set priority levels and FSW applicants don't come under high priority. People on this and other forums have written emails to CIC Minister who in turn have responded with same message that not to expect any good news in near future.
It certainly put us under pressure but this is the recent development for applicants wishing to immigrate to Canada as FSW1 especially Pre Feb 2008.
