Hi ,

I was just wondering would the current applications speed up after implementation of new residency clause in summer (forget about the exact date ) ?

What do you think about it , keeping in view that most of the decrease in the work load would be for Sydney (at least initially )? Does CIC transfer its central intake office employees to the backlogged local offices ?

Please share your ideas and opinions .

Thanks

I think up until application processing times reach CIC's target levels they will continue ongoing trend of speeding up with more work force, afterwards they will allocate sufficient number of people to keep that "reasonable" levels. I dont have an idea about their performance target but generally speaking 6 months should be fair enough for most people and as far as I understand from last year's applications the averages are now less than a year... My personal estimate is observing 6 months of averages by the end of 2015, so most people applying in 2015 will get their passport by the end of this year.

I think that the federal elections would be the real milestone . Until the elections we will se general good performance, but after the elections is unpredictable.

Thank you everyone for your inputs !

As per CIC website CIC expects to eliminate all backlog and bring down the AVERAGE processing times under one year by Spring 2016 . I do hope that it won't be done abruptly but gradually so we could hope for a gradual decrease in the processing times even for slow offices like Calgary , Edmonton etc.

Somehow this promise from CIC looks like pre-election promise how effective "are" the conservatives. This is my personal opinion.
