I wonder why that's not the case for 2021 applicants??
Just a thought based on how usually these officers work..as most of Q1 applications got delayed with biometrics submission the files went into backlog waiting for that to clear security and once we submitted those from sep some people got lucky and officers tried to clear the backlog and some like us not,still left with no movement. Could be officer unable to get back to our files as he was being allotted new incoming load, or
may be they still dont have complete access to office(as per MP's info provided to me which doesnt makes sense when the same Ottawa office files getting approved in less than 2months)
Or
The new files may have more s/w integration that they can have access from home to finish the process and as our files as beginning of pandemic and the IRCC is still working on s/w integration by then so we are not lucky enough to be in that new 2021 bunch
Most probably as we see evry officer having their own load they dont dare to try to finish the pending files of someone's work so our files are being unattended.
All these are my thoughts but i still dont know how IRCC can be such a dumb ass if they cant move the files because of above reasons why they cant dedicate atleast one or 2 officers from each branch to work on these backlogs..most of us waiting are straight forward applications instead of making us to suffer in extending meds,and we spending more money on our temp visa extensions..
If they knew they are short of men its fine they inviting new people if im in that case waiting for invite i will be soo happy seeing that but why they dont use their common sense to make some alternative to clear off the backlogs...
