There were approximately 24k (i cant remember an exact source but i do recall such a figure, correct me if i am wrong) expired copr holders, how many of these have received renewals? This could be indicative of intentions, if exact or approximate figures could be extracted.
I think, perhaps, after the 7th, even if there wont be a "rain of PPRs" theres no justification IRCC can provide as to why FSWs arent being processed, if theres an inquiry. It was cited on the border closures all this while, and thats understandable. Going forward, perhaps theyll have to process CEC and FSW concurrently as the system of preference they used to do this on holds no ground anymore. The afghan crisis should affect both CECs and FSWs equally going forward. It'll be a trickle but all opportunities will be open.
