The following is the monthly data of apps received at CPP-O and CIO-Sydney respectively. Looks like CIO-Sydney took the bulk of the load starting Nov 2012.
Office | Dec/2011 | Jan/2012 | Feb/2012 | Mar/2012 | Apr/2012 | May/2012 | Jun/2012 | Jul/2012 | Aug/2012 | Sep/2012 | Oct/2012 | Nov/2012 |
CIO Sydney | 0 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 2 | 117 | 225 |
CPP Ottawa | 562 | 487 | 458 | 618 | 734 | 705 | 701 | 630 | 763 | 679 | 633 | 1 |
Looks like CIO Syndey has started to process some or most of the new applications starting Oct-Nov 2012.
Hope things start to move soon.
