prediction for today?

No one can beat this code in predicting IRCC draws. 0 = no draw, 1 = draw. Execute and see the magic:

import numpy as np
np.random.choice([0,1])

IRCC Staff is on strike while you guys discuss possible new draws. They basically don’t work right now and no one knows when they will resume.

Saw that too, but the text says "may be in a legal strike position as early as mid-April". Has the strike actually started? Who knows IRCC might go nuts and issue 10k ITAs to compensate for possible disruptions.

Read it as well -


Services partially or fully disrupted
In the event of a labour disruption, like most Government of Canada services, most IRCC services would be impacted. You should expect delays with:

• processing applications
• in-person appointments or events including citizenship ceremonies
• contacting IRCC via email, phone or social media
• consular citizenship and passport services
• passport services in Canada

As we learn more about a possible labour disruption, we will continue to update this page to tell you how services may be impacted.

In anticipation of not working people usually don’t work much. And it’s mid-Apr already basically.

The strike hasn't begun. Expect a draw today, not sure if it'll be a 7k one or the usual 3.5k-4k one.

 

[ImpatientDragon]

I do not think they will stop draw, processing yes but draw seems unlikely?

Any senior members care to comment.

I'd rather them just blanket stamp 10k PR applications for those who have already passed Criminality haha

It's not even guaranteed either. I'm sure there are behind closed door meetings going on at the moment to avoid that.

I don't think draws are decided that day itself. I am sure they are decided beforehand?

 

[perseus_r]

Sounds like my passport might be sitting in CPC-O for some time to be mailed back?

 

[ImpatientDragon]

YUP no draw, by now it would have happened

No I mean the Strike may not even happen. Fingers crossed.
