Yes I completely agree! I think VOs there are working very hard. Let's not forget that there are also thousands of economic immigration apps and temporary visitor visas and student visas that they have to deal with as well in this office. I get really happy when some people get their applications in process or receive PPRs. It means that my turn to receive my in process status is coming near
But I should disagree about the quota thing. I also think that they have a quota for the number of apps per year. So it's not per month. That's why most PPRs are received in the first half of the year. But nobody here should worry about it because according to my estimation almost all of us will get our PPRs by August inshallah
To back up my claim, I read the quota thing in a CBC article few months ago. They have a quota for economic applicants, family class, etc. But it's not a big deal at all because family class have a big quota. like 30,000 per year I think...
