I just don't understand how can delaying the last and easy step would help them get rid of their backlog numbers? They clearly have no idea as to what should be the priority or if things need to be done in order.
Slowdown in eCoPRs happens every year towards the end of the year - it's somewhat related to IRCC's quotas (which are defined based on calendar years). There are way more eCoPRs issued early each year
