I don't think so. You see, Dec 15 to Feb 1 makes 48 days, if we deduct Dec 25-26 (Christmas) and January 1-3 (New Year) (total 5 days) from 48 days, the remaining days IRCC Officers would have worked between that period were 43 (including weekends). That means about 221 cases per day were finalized between Dec 15 and Feb 1. Now if the number of backlog cases is in fact correct (i.e. 15000), it means IRCC officers will finalize the backlog until April 9 (67 days from Feb 1, including weekends). Now we all know that the IRCC Officers are not working at the lightning-fast speed that they were during the 2nd half of December to meet the 2021 target. Therefore, if we normalize a little and assume that IRCC Officers finalize at least 100 cases per day (which is still nowhere to be found true, given how slow they have become nowadays), the remaining backlog will still take until July 2022 to finalize. If we recall the IRCC Memo that surfaced a couple of weeks ago, IRCC also stated that they will not make any CEC draws at least until July (if not at all) this year. This is of course my understanding based on the facts highlighted. I would love to be wrong here because I know how important this is for all of us. I hope this wait, stress, and anxiety end for all of us soon. Hang tight guys, we are almost there
