Calling 2019 (and early 2020) applicants to help us raise our voice on Twitter -

[mandhaata]

2019 applicants and early 2020 applicants are being penalized by IRCC.

While many of these applications are in Oath ready status, many applicants from 2019 have not even received their test invites and have other steps pending.

And IRCC is busy channeling their resources in processing late 2020 and 2021 applications.

This is IRCC’s attempt to show some fake statistics about how they processed # applications within 1 year timeline.

THIS IS HUGE INJUSTICE.

Applicants who have been waiting for over 2 years are going thru this pain and anxiety, in addition to money being spent on their other country passport renewals and/or PR card renewals.

In some cases, once security checks and/or fingerprints have expired, applicants are being asked to resubmit fingerprints - more money down the drain.

For the lack of efficiency and lack of transparency of Ircc workings why should deserving applicants suffer.

Please join in this - make ourselves heard.

IRCC is a cruel mother (if we can draw an analogy) and will feed only crying babies!!

We also hope that late 2020 and 2021 applicants can have empathy regarding this matter, and to do so is rational not only because this process is indeed unjust. If IRCC employs a fair queueing mechanism, then all applications would be processed within a foreseeable and reasonable time frame. However, under the current mechanism, even if one is a 2021 applicant, if the application is not in the 80% (or whatever percentage) that IRCC calls "most applications", then awaiting him/her ahead is the same endless wait experienced by us. Would one prefer a 100% chance of getting invited to oath ceremony in, say, 14 months, or an 80% chance of a 12-month turnaround plus a 20% chance that it takes years?

That what I was thinking. Following the target 80% to be processed under 12 months is not fair for the remaining 20% (which is a significant number. If 200,000 immigrants become citizens every year, this means 20% of them is 40,000 applications!!). If they change it to 90% within 16 months, that would make a fairer distribution of applications (Australia in comparison has a target of 90% of application in 14 months). By the way, for 2019 applications (or fiscal year to be precise) they they claim they only processed 65% of applications within 12 months, which I am not sure of, because from what I see here, many many 2019 applications are still in process. No way these are only 35% of them. In the spreadsheet June 2019 and onwards, most 2019 applications are less than 50% in DM state.
