While this is all discouraging news, there was nothing else to expect from this government. Pure and plain incompetence and corruption. Countless examples of this incompetence and corruption with the WE scandal and the current delays in the vaccination drive and vaccination contracts prime example.
It will likely take us longer than 2 or more years to reach the milestone, I would urge all to not give up and make your voice heard with your MPs, the press and anyone who would listen. The Liberals are prepping for an election in 2-3 months and it is important to highlight all their incompetence.
Please also reach out to your MPs with the appropriate framing of the message which is that all this incompetence is clear and obvious to us and will not be forgotten. They are doing themselves a huge disservice by alienating thousands of future voters.
What I don’t understand is that if they are still processing March 2019 applications, what is the IRCC staff doing sitting at home? How difficult it is to review these applications and set-up a decent processing workflow (yes I know all the different excuses why they can’t work, it is almost a year now and the time for excuses is over)? All this technology and online tests are useless if they don’t have a plan to deal with the huge backlog. I think they owe us an explanation both as a taxpayer and also as someone who has paid for this specific service. Most of us gave them the benefit of the doubt over the last 4 months but it is obvious that not much progress has been made.
By the way they recently issued over 27,000 ITAs for new PRs in one draw. Does anyone understand their priorities? Refocusing resources on citizenship and family reunification and then focusing on employment based immigration would be the common sense thing to do at this time.
