Ask yourself if the same reason for canceling applications in 2012 exists even today and then comment here.

1: No
2: See point 1
3: Just stop. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Proceed to point 1.
Those applications were canceled after a decision was not made for 4 years, we are already halfway there for a big chunk of applications. There is a very high chance of your application just sitting in the backlog without any progress and the webforms/calling will just say the application is still under process.

Oh wow, that's even worse! Despicable.
I assumed because of some situation where the fake test result was cheaper than doing the actual test. Either way, that's terrible. Just do things properly, wow.
They just don't go through the hassle of getting the test, that's how I imagine it to be. So they dont know if they have covid or not. They just get a negative report and board the flight I guess. There is only 72 hours before flight for the test right?
Yea, but it is stupid. Because of such assholes the rates of discovered infections can go up and this can affect the decision to close the border again. Selfish assholes...

"On March 30th, 2012, new legislation was introduced dictating that any application that had not received a positive decision as of March 29th, 2012 would be terminated... The legislation for this decision was included as a small part of the large annual budget bill, known as “Bill C-38”, which was passed by Parliament".
Do you know what's really funny? Do you know which party was in power in 2012 when that legislation was passed?
And yet you have people in this thread commenting that they desperately want the Conservative Party to win this election because, apparently, they'll be better for immigration. Lol.
These people were international students and I was checking the student's section of this forum at the time and it was full of cry babies crying about how they were not allowed to travel once the ban came into effect despite spending a ton of money on tuition. They were forced to spend up to 5k CAD, 5-6 stops on air tickets to reach Canada, serves them right.
They might just casually decide to cancel all outland applications because the backlog is too big and announce some kind of big and great immigration reform if they win, something like Express Entry 2.0"On March 30th, 2012, new legislation was introduced dictating that any application that had not received a positive decision as of March 29th, 2012 would be terminated... The legislation for this decision was included as a small part of the large annual budget bill, known as “Bill C-38”, which was passed by Parliament".

They don’t know any better. It always gets a chuckle from me when i see those posts.
One of the reasons given by then Immigration minister:
"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."
Please note that applications were mostly paper-based and it was difficult for IRCC to trackback these applications. Do you know how many applicants suffered? 280,000. I want to remind you that not many applicants are still waiting for their approval from 2019. They are a handful and they are mostly complex. Since Sep 2019, 85000+ invites were sent from "No class specific draws". Even if all these applicants are FSWs (which is hard to believe), are 85000 "online" applications difficult to be processed versus paper-based 280,000 applications that were lying from as early as 8 years to 4 years? Even if IRCC cancels, how would that make them look in front of the world? That would be 2nd time in 10 years of canceling applications due to incompetency. Let's say IRCC lacks shame (which is true), why would they cancel online applications that are in the final stages? Most of the applications are pending security which is done by other agencies and not by IRCC. I say this from reading threads on this website and all of social media day and night for the last 18 months. Why would IRCC keep indicating that they want more immigrants? In 2021, 8 to 4 years old applications were truly outdated and it happened after the economic crises. Even though we are in a health crisis, it's not like Canada has no jobs for newcomers or doesn't need new talent like in 2008. Go read articles that say Canada immediately needs highly skilled professionals but they only have low-skilled CEC grandpas and grandmas.
I want to stress the point "....out of date reduces our ability to focus on new applicants with skills and talents that our economy needs today" made by then Marco. Do you think technologies in IT, Energy, hospitality, and other sectors changed in just 2 years? It's the same. Maybe Canada needs professionals in clean energy but it has not changed drastically in other sectors. So there is no "out of date" talent or 8 to 4 year old paper-based applications. Just chill. Also, in 2012 IRCC canceled applicants who applied before Feb 28, 2008. So they processed applications applied after March 1, 2008. Today, there are no age-old applications. It's just a year old and a maximum of 2 years old applications.

Personally, I would re-apply if IRCC cancels FSW because I am not gonna lose anything if they cancel FSW now. But, think about the negativity being spread without a solid source.
