This is strange. A renowned immigration lawyer who’s also an ex immigration officer has said in his recent vlog that IRCC system doesn’t distinguish bw inland/Outland. But here it’s obvious IRCC can easily differentiate the data. The next question is then why IRCC is only processing CEC and the rest of the inland(fsw/pnp). Well, I am of the firm view it’s all politics. You’ll have not see the superfast processing of 40-50 days for recent CEC applications. CEC/pnp from 2020 and fsw (who happens to be from 2020 only as no draws took place in 2021) are all stuck though pnp is moving little bit and cec2020 is moving little faster than pnp (perhaps CEC2020 are higher in number than pnp that’s why their processing is little bit visible).
Now what’s the politics in that? Well, IRCC will claim great efficiency at 2021 PR applications and it will have the proof that it processed huge number of applications in less than 2 MPAs compared to normal processing time of 6 months.
For 2020 applications IRCC will have the simple excuse; COVID-19.
