I agree that if files are honestly jumping the queue because of the Buffalo closure, it should be dealt with; but I did a quick google search and have found nothing relating to this. No one else is complaining about this or expressing concern, so I assume this is a 'conspiracy' of sorts. I could be wrong, but like I said, my brief research turned up nothing.
Besides, the CIC doesn't work on all of the applications from February and then switch to September. If they did that the people who have complicated cases or didn't submit completed application would hold op the process for months and months.
Dr. Eng X is giving us no information on his file or it's contents; and he could very well be one of those people with a complicated case that takes longer to process.
