as I said it I am really annoyed that things were not clarified and also about the fact that they said it there is a possibility that applications can be canceled they could also clarify what the increased processing time is about and which application are actually connected to this timing. It does not mean that new applications will have over 3 years processing time. They should also talk about new memos and updates in December which clarified all that, but no, lets create a hype and increase the interest in the channel, it is just pathetic.
Hi everyone!
Just my 2 cents.
Let me agree with mr. Simple Truth that we should take into consideration that there were a bunch of IRCC official postings after the aforementioned intermal IRCC memo. In any case, why should IRCC have published its 2022-2023 Immigration Plan if they would've planned to reduce FHS by more than 50% in upcoming years?
Nevertheless, I think that we should shift our attention on the recently published IRCC's Immigration Level Plan where for Federal High Skilled (FHS = FSW + FSTC + CEC) the 2022 target is 110,500 (112,900 as a high range) immigrants.
According to Dec, 2021 stats about the backlog, we know that for FHS there are:
54,529 (FWS-EE) + 223 (FSW-C-50) + 24 (FSW-pre-C-50) + 805 (ST-EE) + 9 (ST-no-EE) + 24,675 (CEC-EE) + 55 (CEC-no-EE) = 80,320 ppl.
So, to sum up my thoughts:
1. I think there's no need for panic.
2. For 2022, there's enough room for all backlogged people (FHS).
3. IRCC keeps working on our files, and I like its pace.
4. $80+ millons will probably be spent by IRCC on hiring new personnel. So, I expect the finalizing pace will grow in the following months.
5. I think no 50% cut will probably take place in 2022-2023.
6. Nevertheless, due to the current processing time, it's almost impossible for a person who will receive aт ITA in 2022 to land in Canada in 2022, so there's a chance that 110,500 - 80,320 = 30,180 free places could be given to applicants from other Classes.
7. Thus, it's quite possible that IRCC stops sending ITAs until mid-2022 in order to focus all its workforce on the backlog since it hinders the reduction of the application processing time.
8. I don't want to offend pre-ITA people, but I think making a pause is the easiest way out: after clearing the backlog, the average processing time will highly likely fall down to the pre-COVID results (around 6-8 months). It's logically to assume that if IRCC continues to invite new people, almost no 2022 ITA receivers will land in Canada until 2023-2024.
9. I'm not sure about the PNP backlog (especially about the paper-based one), but having the finalizing pace of about 15k applications per month, I suggest that 5-6 months will be enough to clear the FHS backlog.
Just my 2 cents.

They will focus on other categories that haven’t been used up. Like spouses, humanitarian, PNP.

There are absolutely no indicators showing anything moving for outland apps. Only a handful of PPRs vs what it was before the pandemic. IRCC themselves said FSW waits 21 months on avg now and is expected to wait 36 months this year.

Who knew a process which was supposed to take six months would have resulted in so much drama.
This is like watching Big Brother.

Application processing timeline will be reduced. 36 months is expected IF 2021 processing speed remains the same; which is not the case.
A handful of PPRs that are posted on this forum. 2 of my co-workers got PR last week; they won't bother going somewhere online and posting anything.

Canada Government will never bother whether WP/OWP/Student Permit getting expired or whether of not PR is processed. It is like "If you have it, take it or forget it" situation. But this is now bringing some level of embarrassment for Government as Canada is heavily relied on immigration which they need for years to come. There should be something cooking, it is just the case we don't know. What we know is 2 months old information. Also Steven's file seems to be scrubbed, which is just to raise anxiety

Said this before mate, you gotta compare "REPORTED" PPRs pre-pandemic vs post-pandemic. We know most people don't report them but more PPRs = more REPORTED PPRs. You can see that the current backlog isn't going anywhere. IRCC reported it too, backlog increased from Oct to Nov.
Some points as well. Their goal is to use part of the EE distribution for Afghanistan refugees plan(40k) but over 6k already landed last year and they have been posting every landing on social media. Their current rate would only make them land 10-15k this year, and the delay is not lack of officers working on cases, it’s bureaucracy in Afghanistan citizens getting selected, since they have to go through a third party system first. I don’t see that increasing much. They are only landing like 200-400 per week since last year.
There was no landing last year. Almost no one who got PPR last year was able to land, because it started in November. All those finalized apps will land this year, so there is no way of knowing yet how much got finalized, unless someone orders an ATIP requesting their processing/landing inventory for FSW.
