Some rumours are being spread that CIC will not work from 12/15, others say from 12/20 and so on.

CIC as other government bodies doesn't work on public holidays, but works on other days:

Like if we look at the last year PPRs, we can see CIC doesn't work on public holidays, but works on other days:

I believe that 20/Dec will be their last working day. West typically goes on holiday from 23/Dec to 01/Jan.

December AOR by stream:



rough breakdown:

30% PNP
45% FSW
25% CEC
That is quite a heavy percentage for PNPs and its becoming the way forward.

23rd is Monday and is a working day, as well as 27th and 30th. Some employees will take a leave, but as based on previous years... they are working.

That's mainly due to OINP they have issued a lot of invites and it also affects the CRS score. About 2000 invites were issued by OINP in past 3 months.

You can try to request it, but they will send it anyway at some point in time so not sure if it would help.
