Thank you for sharing. Let's hope you are right .
Curious where the 6600 figure comes from? Don't see it in the link.
Oh ok, but they are still giving out AORs even after the closure of the program for submissions, it closed a few days ago. According to the policy, what I thought was the program would close for submissions as soon as they have 6600 AORs in the system. That means they already had 6600 AORs in the system when they closed submissions. This is the line that makes think, they will process and give out AORs to all complete applications prior to the closure of the submission in spite of crossing the 6600 mark:
"Applications received under the October 5, 2023 public policy will be processed under the revised cap. It may be revoked at any time. All applications received prior to the expiry or revocation of this public policy will be processed under the public policy. "
Am I reading it wrong?
it says rigth at the bottom: It takes effect upon signature and will expire on October 5, 2024, or when 6,600 applications have been accepted for processing by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada after meeting the requirements of a complete application under section 10 of the Regulations, whichever occurs first.
Yup thats where it says that. 6600 AORs to cover the target of 3500 approved applications (11000 people), seems they have loaded up almost double the required number to meet the target. I would say there are atleast 3000-4000 more applications in their system that they have not even opened yet. I am hoping that they process all of them.
I don't think they've issued 6600 AORs yet. They just know they have enough applications to reach the 6600 and so have cut off new applications.
The last statement you've quoted is irrelevant since they also have the "which happens first" statement that refers to the 6600 AOR.
11000 is the target for this program, the other 4000 is to be given in work permits etc which is not associated with this program, as stated here:

Right, they already announced that they have received enough applications by Dec 30.
Yes, that is correct. Looks like they might have double or triple the number they require to reach their target. They need to approve 3500 applications, but are looking to give 6600 AORs. The feeling is that they are very close to 6600 AORs already and still probably have 3000-4000 more applications in their system that they have not even touched. So, easily more than 10000 complete applications in their system and their target is only 3500 applications. That is why they closed the program. I am still waiting for my AOR, lets see. I am hopeful.
