Thanks for updating. But I was reviewing the files and I was a little bit confused. All Total Economic programs target was set to 29,300, not QSWP. If you check numbers in the spreadsheet "Canada - Admissions of Permanent Residents by Province/Territory of Intended Destination and Immigration Category, January 2015 - December 2017" It clearly shows that they issued (-1000) applicants less in 2017 when compared to 2016. those 1000 were from the QSWP (our stream). so yes you were right there is a backlog in the last quarter of 2016 applications but there is also less number of approved applications.
total QSWP,2017 (24,855) VS 2016(25,860)
total Quebec 2017(52,395) VS 2016(53,240
Total Canada 2017 (286,615) VS 2016 (296,380) target was 300,000
