  • This portal(Open Data Portal)provides all the statistics and facts related to CIC. We can download all the data and discuss them here together, so we can at least have a general picture about CIC's backlog.

    Some interesting spreadsheet:


    *Notes: some of the data are from October, 2015.

    Some quick facts I got from those spreadsheet (right click and open in new tab on each image to view the full resolution)

So if I understand the numbers correctly, do they say that only 20% of skilled workers were processed within 7 months?
PS: does anyone know what "MI-1", "MI-2", and "MI-3 and beyond" mean?

According to google and our forum, it means Ministorial Instructions set:

Hi

Check this out...

Ministerial Instructions [MI]

The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) of 2002 provides the legislative authority for Canada’s immigration program. IRPA contains various provisions that allow the Minister to issue special Instructions to immigration officers to enable the Government of Canada to best attain its immigration goals. Ministerial Instructions (MIs) are typically issued for limited periods of time, and can touch on a diverse range of issues, from temporary resident processing to federal skilled worker selection and application intake measures. Applications are currently being processed under the following MIs:

Ministerial Instructions (MI1): Federal Skilled Workers
Ministerial Instructions (MI2): Federal Skilled Workers, Canadian Experience Class, Immigrant Investor Program
Ministerial Instructions (MI3): Federal Skilled Workers, Immigrant Investor Program, Entrepreneurs
Ministerial Instructions (MI4): Parents and Grandparents, Federal Skilled Workers
Ministerial Instruction regarding the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa
Ministerial Instructions (MI5): Federal Skilled Workers, Immigrant Investor Program
Ministerial Instructions protecting vulnerable foreign workers from the risk of abuse and exploitation in sex trade related businesses

In the 12 months ending in Sep 2015, it gives the following numbers for CPP Ottawa:
20% of files were processed in 7 months or less.
30% of files were processed in 9 months or less.
50% of files were processed in 11 months or less.
70% of files were processed in 14 months or less.
80% of files were processed in 16 months or less.

What I'm wondering is how come they say they're committed to 6 months or less for most cases while that's been barely the case for 20% of the cases.

Express Entry started on Jan, 2015, so EE applications only takes a small percentage of all processing cases. What worries me is the huge backlog they are having.
 
+1 for OP
 
This is fantastic. I will look at it later. Thanks.
 
Great info, I suspected less than 25K CEC applicants were admitted last year. I think this fiscal year we are off to a slow start but it wouldn't surprise if me CIC gets speedier and CRS scores are lower in the coming months.
 
Guys,

Did you see the note (in small caps) at the bottom of the sheet?

"Data does not include persons applying through Express Entry"!!!

I happen to know that Government of Ontario matches University Income! Government PAYS money to Universities and Colleges so that they can sustain their costs. Money actually goes to workers, staff, contractors, Businesses. The government does not make a penny out of that, it's the economy that does.

ofcourse but gov pays to keep domestic students fees low keep education affordable. International students pay 3-4 times more fee which helps college/university keep costs low for canadian students. either way 2.2 bil came in canada thats a good chunk of money.
