I somewhat understand the pause in FSW applicants due to the lockdowns etc, however, aren't there FSW applicants within Canada and CEC applicants outside of Canada. So I am not understanding the reasoning entirely. Is it that IRCC's system cannot process in-Canada only applicants across all programs?????
They are processing FSW applications slowly and they don’t want to add more applications that cannot be processed timely.
The percentage of FSW inland and CEC Outland is probably too low to matter that much. it’s also impractical to have a new processing system when they already have a huge backlog.
I haven’t called them since Dec 14th, figured I’ll wait until Febuary 14th (once 2 months has gone since everything passed) and see where its at, no ghost updates or anything yet, everything still the same! what about you!

Yet, the number of ITAs given is similar to the number of ITAs given when it is an all program draw. Ok, so based on your response then it is safe to assume that IRCC system isn't capable of giving ITAs to in-Canada only applicants across all programs. Thanks for the insight.

Yes, that's right. They don't know who's in Canada. People can still move in or out of the country before or after submitting their applications so they only verify that people are inside Canada when issuing COPRs.

I believe the last step is still an approval from the visa officer. No one can give an accurate estimate but since you are inland you should get it soon.
I am in same boat with everything passed as of 15th Jan. Few people on this forum have waited more than a month and still waiting. I think its again a million dollar question on when officer will see our file again
