well, hopefully the pending of the new FSW 2013 application acceptance to May 4, 2013 instead of January 2, 2013 will give us 2011 applicants better news about our applications. As what I can see is, Ottawa is taking silence to push more backlog into a lesser percent, giving officers 3 more months to work on backlogs rather than accepting new applications which make sense. As applicants has been waiting for too long where some already losses hope and their patience, it is just right to give us priority and the declaration of Open Work Permits available for PR applicants in Canada with PERs is also valuable than just letting the spouses of primary applicant for PR to apply for an OWP.
