I think the survey is really dumb but at least it will bury the speculation about IRCC cancelling in-progress applications.
Does this survey mean anything at all? Don't know. Only IRCC can explain the dumb things IRCC does.
You know, I am sure somewhere in Ottawa, there would be a meeting where atleast 100 visa officers (who could have been processing applications) will discuss this survery for 8 days with the help of 20 data analysts to come to a conclusion that they perhaps need to speed up processing of them applications. In the end, a single finance guy will inform them that there is no budget because most of the money was allocated away from IRCC to something else. So.... in the end it will delay processing further.
Truly, as we approach the fourth quarter we expect that IRCC will cut down on the CEC invites (they’ve actually reduced it to 4,500 in the last 2 CEC draws) and finally put a stop to it as they make way for all program draws. We can expect 2 more CEC draws this month but i guess that would be it for the year. The open draws will be towards next year’s immigration quota.
It’s becoming less appealing for them to keep inviting CEC since they are now almost certain that they can meet the remaining part of this year’s economic class immigration quota with the FSW and PNP applications that are few steps or already in the final lap of processing.
I expect that if the border re-opening goes as planned, IRCC will spend the last four month’s of this year focusing on those with expired CoPRs, finalizing applications and inviting nothing less than 30,000 applicants through the express entry system via general draws. There’s reason to remain positive and hopeful. Don’t overthink the situation; just continue living your lives to the fullest, things will fall in place soon
Apologies, but its not going to be "no CEC" round BUT will be a "Open for all round". That means low scoring CEC folks wont get invited just because they are inland applicants.
Not really. I’m Jan, 2021 AOR and did my medical in November, so when they restart PPRs in September, it will only be valid for 2 months, so I’ll be last in the list.
So as per these emails/memos most FSW-O applicants from 2020 won't see any decision until early next year, and we would definitely need to get new medicals and PCC documents. Well at least we have a bit more clarity now.
