IMO, CIC certainly has a bias in Stage 1.
What's even more troubling is that CIC has preferential treatment for any applicants going through New Delhi office because there is no way that other offices have such a backlog as ND does. Majority of immigrants in the past few years came from India and the question is how do they land in Canada before some people even get their Stage 1 AOR's even though the person going through ND submitted their application a month later? For instance, not a single PPR has been issued through Vienna office SINCE APRIL (this forum is a living proof); on the other hand, ND applicants get their PPR's in 2 weeks on average!!!!!!!! Vienna has nothing on their plate compared to New Delhi. Something is just not right.
