Sudden medical strategy change(inlander) and shown no or slow movement for inland applicants from sydney... Do you think it's because of they want to slow down/pause all processing for upcoming election.To what extend do you agree or disagree? If positive, than the consequences could be devastating or welcoming? What's your view?
In my view, based on last 10 year immigration rules change its just getting more tighter and Canada tries to get top level cream. So I dont see that the election has effect on current applications being processed except that the future immigration policies will affect the criteria of getting qualified.
Last time they cancelled applications due to too many applications and too many years of delay in clearing them up.
I dont think that the immigration officers are delaying applications due to waiting for political party to form the government.
Actually if we see the processing time for Sydney or Ottawa is much better every month. Oct-Dec applicants are being issue DM and PPR. So better than 15 months listed time.
I think that they started issuing MR and general reminder emails in batches for most of the applications month-wise which is good in one way. But some 3 months pause which is puzzling. Dont know why. We will have to wait and see.
As long as they finish processing within 9-12 months its fine. As too many applications are being processed inland, one can wait for 10-12 months for a PR which is fair for me (even though i wish they issue visa in 6 months but i think that they are trying to restructure their process every year (every month - the recent MR and reminder email in batches show so) and clearing paper based anyway which will eventually help but not for this year or next).
