Guys,

No new MRs this week? ???

Processing time should be updated before this month end (quarterly updates). I hope it comes down or stays 12 months.

For now I can't see an improvement in processing times and as the processing times posted on the CIC
website reflect past processing times from July 2013 - xxxxx there won't be an improvement, no - it should be more than 12 months,
since it takes about 20 days longer to get AOR these days compared to before June ( before the strke ).

I can't seem to find the link to data.gc.ca that has the number of pr visas issued under each category during last 3 quarters.

Cic has a target for this year - Immigration target for 2013 - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/notice-levels2013.asp

Just want to compare actuals against targets.

I see, but my links only contain data from JAN-MAR, that's Q1, not Q2 or Q3?

I see, however below that it states:

Source: CIC, Research DataMart, 1st Quarter 2013
So even if the website has been updated in June it only displays data from Q1, if you ask me.

If I'm looking at the right tables, q1 and ytd #'s are exactly the same - which is highly unlikely. They would also list q2 and q3 if they are going to list q1

58,000 is in both q1 and ytd - that doesn't seem right

Correct, see my previous post. It's only data from the 1st quarter of 2013.
