sometimes i really wonder whats going on at cic with the QSW files. Last year we could guess of quotas almost being achieved, many staff on hols etc . Now this a new year everything starts from zero. ie new targets , new quotas etc and we are suppose to be seeing some progress for QSW . I do see progress in the other categories but CSQ, hmm nothing as compared to the others. you see people with more than 15 months in process for no reason, and all they tell you is your file is waiting review by an officer ( like they lack officers) if they are doing this for quota reasons, we are in a new year with new targets and new objectives ,so whats their point? you have 3 applicants with same background, one in EE one in spousal and the other QSW. EE gets visa in 6 months or less, spousal gets visa in about 8-10 months and QSW gets visa in 20 months..its not only with inland applicants, its for all VO. i even see some progress at ottawa, its a grave yard at the visa offices. why is this really happening? is the anyone who understands this logic ? because i dont get it at all. I know all we have to do is wait, but it hurts when you see other files in different categories moving at the speed of light and yours stays put for months and months on the same spot for no reason other than awaiting for initial review, not even final review , initial review after over 12months in the process. smh
