November 10 – DATASET UPDATED
The dataset was updated with recent timelines and now includes 260 cases (rows).
First of all, CIC now process significantly more applications then 2 months ago. See below:
Category | # Processed applications per day[br](2 months ago) | # Processed applications per day (now) |
CEC | 0.63 | 0.73 |
FSWP Inside | 0.39 | 0.66 |
FSWP Outside | 0.49 | 0.62 |
I think CIC is cleaning backlog with PR applications from 2014 and earlier and moving officers to work with the new system so in the end more applications under EE are processed.
But even though number of processed application has grown, average processing times has also grown:
Category | Average processing time[br]2 months ago, days | Average processing time now, days |
CEC | 106 | 102 |
FSWP Inside | 110 | 130 |
FSWP Outside | 88 | 108 |
I have no idea why processing times has grown but the most obvious reason should be backlog (as usual).
Now because processing time has grown there were applications that were processed in more than 6 months. There is not a lot of them but if the trend will be prevailing there will be more soon.
Please note that nothing except the data set was changed. Calculator itself is still the same. I wanted to do more significant changes like replacing some tables, diversifying processing times by NOC code and adding PNP and FST applicants but unfortunately forum permissions do not allow me to modify first post. So even if I do the updates there is no way I can notify people that functionality/look has changed. This will just bring confusion. I am not even able to modify first post in the topic to let users know that dataset was updated
