Well, CIC either has good and professional men & women working there or it has vengeful and angry men and women. It can't be both ways. Well, some could be good and some may be bad. But that doesn't really mean anything and I don't really care which is it - they are the reflection of their bosses, their ministers & government and in the end of the whole society. I feel like I (or we) have the right to speak (and learn through it) of any society in the world, especially about the one I've paid $1400 to and the one I'm trying to become a part of.jay2174 said:
I do have sympathy for the idea that Canada would benefit more from accepting better ranked people, but obviously they have set up some rules and it's up to them to follow those. Probably that's one of the reasons they are moving to EOI system next year, and I applaud them for it.
I'm sure that on micro level they are able to tweak the rules a bit - an applicant whom some person at CIC 'likes' less has a real chance of being turned off on a technicality (like missing a word/name/etc) than some other applicants who's 'liked' more. Now that 'liking' can be based on prejudice, skin color, religion, English level, work experience, age, bad hand writing, bad cup of coffee the CIC worker just have had or simply CIC may have some never-written and untold rules that they have in mind when doing such exceptions and 'micromanagement'.
Obviously they cannot go too far with those tweaks since they would be massively exposed to lawsuits. If you tweak one or two cases weekly, probably only 10% of those will ever complain and maybe 0.5% will come to the court or some official way of undoing the injustice (or unbraking the broken rule).
As long as people have their date & time of delivery they should be pretty certain the FIFO will kick in and work as promised. Except in some low number of borderline cases.
