Do Nigerian people even get visitor visas? Not being offensive, i'm just asking genuinely, because if you come from a third world country, it's so hard to get a visitor visa here.

Yes, on business trips, conventions, eg miners convention each year, students, wealthy ones. I know this from hotel experience there.
 
Saw this on FSW-Inland thread:


Look at this Adhoc Dataset published by IRCC with stats for FSW inland applicants (https://open.canada.ca/data/en/data...resource/c42393d6-ec59-4470-87e9-854416d233da)

There seem to be 12,023 pending FSW inland applications that had to be processed within their inventory as of July 6, 2021. The majority of the decisions were coming from CIO Sydney NS and Montreal Immigrationoffices. Also approx. 1500 applications are being processed per month based on this data. This means only around 5000 - 5500 applications should be pending as of November (Estimate).

The table is in persons(Which from CICnews there are 50k FSW total at the end of October). From what I saw in the FSW inland thread, Ottawa VO had several inland FSW cases, and people in that VO only started receiving ecopr in november.

Is there any potential clue as how the backlog is dealt with for PPR issuance?
We see many Jan / Feb 2020, but also way older files (logical) and more recent ones (less logical)

What could be the parameters:
- number of points upon AOR?
- date of approval of the case?
- money in the bank?
- NOC?
- wheel of fortune?

I'd be surprised they actually work their way totally randomly. True we are pissed at IRCC and it would be satisfying pretenting they are, but there has to be a logical way in their processing.

Its been guessed they don't really have a filter for PR apps, so most cases they archaically open apps to see what's in them. I'm guessing their plan is to deal with older apps first, but if a newer one is found to be completed then they probably send to be finished as well.

Wheel of fortune but I think it also depends mainly on where the file is being processed and how much they got done with that application pre-pandemic. And maybe other factors like deciding whether to request remedical/renew automatically and different times for security checks on different people etc based on their background etc.

AOR April 2020, all approved (CPCO RFV Ottawa) since October 2020 as per GCMS notes, nothing so far.

Let's wait, my turn will come... I guess!

No throne speech today. Governor General will arrive tomorrow.
Geez... I spent almost 6 hours watching it o_O
 
I think its a bit weird how Canada takes tradition in politics so serious, because it feels like they are treating their role as a joke. Most of the traditions were there because a specific reason in the past that became redundant now.
I mean, the UK and the US are the same, to name a few. Many countries have what seem like absurd traditions as part of their political theatre.

In this case, the tradition is a holdover from British rule anyway. Seems like a bit of levity before the serious business begins.
