While I thought after C6 implementation will mean a big backlog and slow down the process, it seems that people who applied AFTER C6 are getting AOR sooner than people who applied BEFORE C6. What can be the reason for that? CIC is assigning a lot of extra resources specializing in the new rule?

I am beginning to suspect it depends on whose desk it lands on. Some processors are fast, some are not, and if your application is a little more complicated it might get put into the "difficult" pile to be sorted out later?
If I worked there, I would be going through the routine applications as fast as possible to get them out of the way and reduce the size of the pile. So I can understand how more complicated ones would be slower.

It's hard to know from the outside how these things work. I work in a different ministry, and step one with a file is basically data entry, followed by contacting the client. If the file is complex, it might take a lot longer at later stages, but not at the initial stage. I would think the immigration agents processing citizenship files are probably assigned batches of files, and if they have an inventory of complex files they are already working on, they might not get to the new ones for a few weeks. Or they might be on vacation, or sick leave, or get promoted, or transferred to fix Phoenix... you never know!

I'm talking more about the variance in times for people getting AOR. But as for general delays, it definitely shouldn't take a year, and the additional revenues from fees should be (should have been!) used to hire more people to process more applications more quickly. The processing times are absurd.
