They are very lazy. To clear this backlog of 2 million applications, will take 10 years to complete.
New IRCC Portal Estimated Time Progress Bar?
- Thread starter Decarbon
- Start date
Yes and a lot of the backlog is just duplication as people are fed up waiting for results.
And the new portal is wreaking havoc with the AI tool driven processing
September 2021 they mentioned that application will be processed with in 14 Days to 30 Days.
They did process in under 30 working days using the AI with random approvals and refusals and people going to JR during that window [ personally know 5 people who did a JR on their refused TRV and got it approved as the tool would keep refusing them]. Now it is averaging at 4-6 months on the new portal for new submissions.
No AI involved, they're just using data analytics tools to make life easier for the visa officers. Its used to issue biometrics requests, to decide your application priority among other stuff. Calling it AI is a bit far fetched. There is no way these tools are used to approve or reject applications; that part is still done by a visa officer. I didn't write an emotional invitational letter just to be rejected by some stupid AI lol
