Speaking about backlogs and clearing them out, I just wanted to clear out one thing.
Did you have the feeling before that CIC does not know what they are doing but they are doing it anyway?
Did you know that, instead of dealing with 1 backlog, CIC have generated more than 1 backlog because the unplanned changes they introduced
Backlog 1: Old applicants until Feb 2008 (PRE-FEB)
Backlog 2: New applicants between Feb 2008 and June 2010 (1st Ministrial Instructions 38 Occupations)
Backlog 3: New applicants between July 2010 and June 2011 (2nd Ministrial Instructions 29 Occupations + Cap 20000)
Backlog 4: Not yet piled up, New Applicants between July 2011 and probably June 2012 next new instructions (29 Occupations + Cap 10000).
Of course the new measures will always help reduce backlog, but which backlog? Its a matter of prioritization to them.
