FSW WORLDWIDE
- Thread starter js555
- Start date
2021 AORs are receiving PPRs. Makes my blood boil. Reminds me of a famous quote "Am I a donkey to you?"
I think Feb 13th is the deadline to submit the immigration levels plan for the coming years (including the breakdown for different categories), which will pretty much decide how IRCC will prioritise applications (including backlogged FSW) this year and beyond. People think it is going to be unveiled today or tomorrow.
If they maintain current processing rate, 6.8 months till EE backlog is cleared ----> lets say 7 ---> September '22 assuming no new entrants
I believe the processing rate should increase as we go deep into 2022. (Speculative)

Back in Nov 2021, there wasn't much job listing posted on the site:

PNP-O master race got PPR in 5 months despite the MEP backlog. Aren't you ashamed @seadrag0n @wonderbly ?

800 PPR per week or 3200 PPR per month for FSW people. This is not even remotely enough to clear the 49.751 backlog in a timely manner. It will take 15.5 months to clear it if they continue at this speed.
In 2 month or so CEC backlog will be cleared, FSW should pick up pace.

15.5 months if no draws are conducted and the focus didn't shift to other (EE TR2PR) streams, which I believe isn't a realistic scenario. The only way to overcome this for IRCC is to employ hundreds of new officers and build a system that does autoMEP, autoBIL and autoCriminality in seconds. Only eligibility and security should be manually carried out by a human officer.

Don't think they intend to clear the whole thing anytime soon. They're most probably prioritising based on their own requirements which might seem haphazard from our vantage point. Transparency as usual is lacking. Don't know how to get this across to Sean Fraser that it's the lack of transparency that's getting to most people and it shouldn't be difficult to just let people know what to expect when, don't think you need any additional resources or anything special to do that.

This is decent news for FSW. They are processing at the rate of 800 per week, based on the data from Dec 15 - Feb 1 period. In reality, it is more because IRCC didn't do much in the last two weeks of December. Assuming it increases to 1000 per week (especially when CEC backlogs are fully cleared in the next two months), then FSW backlogs will be cleared in 11 months max (i.e. end of year). So they should be able to reduce the backlog by half by mid year, which hopefully should be enough to restart FSW draws. I am hoping they will further increase the pace, especially when CEC backlogs are cleared in the next two months. However it is anyone's guess whether they will reallocate CECs resources to FSW or some other stream. It also depends on what the quota for FSW this year is, which we will know soon through the immigration levels plan. Really really hoping it is not reduced.
