Yep, when I get into something, I get into it. My mantra is "knowledge is power" and anything that affects my life profoundly I find myself needing to get down and detailed with it. Yes, just a hobby, though, LOL, no Wiki, I swear!
I agree, it's crazy how much work they pull down with 23 staff members. Considering the PR application quota was 2,500 or so, not including skilled workers and the other economic classes plus TRV applications, it is a lot of work.

I should add that the approval should be no longer than 2 weeks then it will head on down to Jamrock.

That's a great mantra to have. Be a student of life as I always say - one's value is created not by working harder at something but rather working harder on yourself. 23 is a slim number indeed. When I spoke to CIC in June, the lady shared with me some process change improvements they are going through. She said although the initial approval may be longer, it allows for a speedier process in the second half. I'm not sure how accurate her statement is however it makes sense especially with the government cut backs.

According to their 2010 audit, there were 23 mission staff: 4 Canadian-Based Officers, including a Migration Integrity Officer, 4 Locally Engaged Programme staff, and 15 Locally-Engaged Staff members. Some of the locally-engaged staff (4 according to the organization chart) would be registry clerks, meaning they handle paperwork only, while the others would actually process applications.
I cannot say how the complement is filled currently, there were staff cuts worldwide since last year into this year.
sorry im not from this thread but how did you get this information? im interested to find out how many people work in my VO.
