skywalker new brunswick was awarded 425 nominations last year they have an additonal 625 this year that is 1050,even there will be a reduction in provincial nominee quota,i dont see a correlation between that and increased processing times
As I said, we may get good or bad news. McCallum stated that there will be trade-offs. We hope PNs aren't significantly affected, but the fact is that economic streams are the most likely to get some reduction, as the political cost for reducing family streams is much bigger.
If, in fact, there is a slight reduction in PNs, and NS is affected by such reduction, do you sincerely think they are going to work regularly until they run out of nominations? Supposing the nominations available end in October, will they send all officers in a 2-month vacation? As NS is facing some financial difficulties, the most likely scenario would be one where they lay off some officers, resulting in the same work being done in more time.
As we still don't know how things will be handled, I'm just making some logic suppositions, but you can't dismiss the possibility of both a reduced intake and increased processing times. Another evidence pointing out in that direction is the fact that NSOI has been replying inquires regarding processing times for NS Demand with estimates between 9 and 10 months until AOR. Considering that in December they were taking only 7 months, and now we have already reached back the 8 months mark, there seems to be already happening an increase in processing times.
