It is said that 41200 files in the queue, also said 38500 inventories created in 2018, 30400 inventories created in 2017. Meaning not too many from 2017 are left?
Anybody has any idea about this? Please share!
I understand those numbers to be the length of the queue in different years. So, in 2017, the queue was 30400, in 2018 it was 38500, and now it is 41200.
This makes sense, since in 2017 more CSQ were issued than PR, so the queue grew. Assuming that a) the above queue reflects all economic applications, b) around 30000 economic CSQ were issued during 2018 and c) everyone issued a CSQ applied for PR quickly; the current queue would contain ~11000 applicants from 2017 and ~30000 applicants from 2018.
The above is also consistent with about 36800 economic CSQ issued during 2017, of which around 60 to 70% have obtained PR according to the spreadsheet (so 11000 to 15000 files left from 2017).
Finally, assuming that 23500 economic PR will occur in 2019 (according to Quebec plans), those will be the ~11000 from 2017 and ~12500 from 2018. A very rough estimate would be that whoever applied up to May 2018 will get their PR in 2019, while those of us who applied after May 2018, will likely have to wait until 2020.
