I do miss some of mine too. But, my current boss is pretty chill. I don't mind coming into work, like I did at some other places.#MissMyOldBoss
Speaking of work: I was thinking about the backlog, and how CIC is presently processing. It's all making sense now.
They only take a few hours per case to finish it up. So, that tells me, that as long as they reach December 2016 by December 2017, they will be able to honour the 12 month commitment. That in mind, I don't think they have actually skipped anyone. I think they have identified cases that they want to look at a little more.
So, for anyone feeling "skipped", they likely didn't. They are probably either doing a review, or you may be queued up for a QA interview (or in the lottery anyway), or Security screening. That's my official line...
