Otawa, March 30, 2012 — To create a fast and flexible immigration system that creates jobs and promotes Canada's long term prosperity, the Government of Canada will eliminate the backlog in the main federal economic immigration program.
“The Federal Skilled Worker Program backlog is a major roadblock to Canada's ability to respond to rapidly changing labour market needs,” said Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney. “Having to process applications that are as many as eight years out of date reduces our ability to focus on new applicants with skills and talents that our economy needs today.”

As announced in Economic Action Plan 2012, Citizenship and Immigration Canada is planning to refund fees and return stale applications from nearly all those applicants who applied under the dated criteria in existence before February 27, 2008.

CIC is transforming its suite of economic immigration programs to create a just-in-time system that recruits people with the right skills to meet Canada's labour market needs, fast tracks their immigration, and gets them working in a period of months, not years. Eliminating the longstanding backlog of FSW applications will allow the Department to focus resources on facilitating the arrival of skilled immigrants who apply under the current eligibility criteria.

Under proposed legislation, CIC will close the files of FSW applicants who applied before February 27, 2008, and for whom an immigration officer has not made a decision based on selection criteria by March 29, 2012. This is expected to affect around 280,000 applicants, including their dependants. CIC will begin the process of returning the full amount of fees paid to the Department by these affected FSW applicants. For those who have passed the selection criteria stage – approximately 20,000 people – CIC will continue processing their applications until they are approved for entry into Canada or not.Over the last decade, the number of FSW applications received has greatly exceeded the space available within the Immigration Levels Plan each year, resulting in long processing times and an increasing inventory. Under the 2008 Action Plan for Faster Immigration, CIC began to limit intake to priority occupations. The Department added caps to the number of new applications in 2010. As a result of these efforts, CIC has reduced the pre-2008 backlog by more than 50 percent, and the overall FSW inventory by over 25 percent. However, without further action, some FSW applicants might have to wait until 2017 for a decision.
“It's unreasonable to keep applicants waiting for another five years,” said Minister Kenney. “It's also a far cry from the nimble and responsive immigration system Canada needs to remain a destination of choice.”

I am no expert but this means the people who applied before 2008 for whom a decision has not been made based on selection criteria. These guys will have their files returned.

The Government of Canada announced on 29 March 2012 a plan to reduce the backlog of Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) applications by returning all applications and government fees submitted prior to 27 February 2008. This will amount to a total of almost 300,000 returned applications, as well as approximately $130 million in refunded government processing fees.
 
Approximately 160,000 FSW applications, submitted after 28 February 2008, will remain in queue for processing.
CIC will close the files of FSW applicants who applied before February 27, 2008, and for whom an immigration officer has not made a decision based on selection criteria by March 29, 2012 that is mean  has not made DM for applicants who applied before Feb 27 ,2008
and If DM for them Are not included

My MR mail says "PLEASE READ NEW MEDICAL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY"

Donno what is new in these instructions. I've received the following attachments :

1) Medical Report Section A - Client Identification and Summary - IMMXXXXXXXXXX.pdf
2) CIIP
3) DMP List
4) Medical Instructions A
5) COVERING Letter (asking for Proof of completion of Medicals + RPRF + Original Passport)

I assume the following para from "Medical Instructions A" is new but not confident about it.

"However the DMP will also provide you with a photocopy of the completed medical examination forms for each applicant. You should submit these to our office, along with a photocopy of the passport which was presented at the time of examination for each applicant"

What do the DMPs normally provide after the Medical Examination ? Seniors any thoughts ?
