Well, according to Kenney's tweets (in April 2013), new FSW applications would have no priority over earlier FSWs. However, this was a political statement, which can be reversed.alta.province said:I understand that but CPP-Ottawa has raised the processing time from 15 months to 25 months. Obviously they have a backlog but they have still processed some FSW 2013 applicants.
Why are LVO and VVO, NDVO not doing the same ?
Is the backlog related to 2010, 2011 and even 2012 applicants only, and we are going to the top of the queue ???
Looking at the way applications are being processed at seperate VOs, they all seem to have their own priority system (e.g. CPP-O seems to be concentrating on new applications - which might be politically motivated). Other VOs seem to follow Kenney's original statement, like Vienna, which according to the new data spreadsheets is primarily working on older applications.
