Service standard for applications under Federal Skilled Workers Program
Service standard
CIC’s goal is to process all applications we get as of June 26, 2010, under the Federal Skilled Worker Program within 12 months. In order to process an application, we must have all information and supporting documents.
This service standard was implemented in September 2011.
Performance target
CIC aims to meet the service standard 80 percent of the time.
Performance results
From April 2012 to March 2013, CIC met the service standard 62 percent of the time. A backlog of applications has played a part in CIC not meeting this service standard.
Federal Skilled Workers production efforts are being concentrated in reducing older inventories in order to meet the Department’s backlog reduction commitments and prepare for the transition into a new recruitment model known as "Express Entry" in 2015. Throughout fiscal year 2012-13, the Federal Skilled Worker inventory was reduced by 50% from 152,000 persons to 76,000 persons. The entire Federal Skilled Worker backlog is anticipated to be processed to completion by December 2014. Consequently, processing times in fiscal year 2013-14 will increase as older files are finalized. However as a result of the backlog reduction efforts, applications to be received in 2014 are anticipated to be processed within the 12 month service standard.
