The reason why the backlog has overpowered them, is because they chose to furlough the trained officers that were assigned to the Inland applicants (Vegreville) and replaced [at least some of] them with students with 3 days of training to assess applicants.

This must be what CIC meant, when they published Operational Bulletin 565 on Feb 13, 2014:

To improve service and processing efficiency, responsibility for processing SCLPC applications was transferred from CPC-V to CPC-M to leverage its expertise in family class processing. These changes will ensure that Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) continues to meet its operational objectives in support of the Department's ongoing modernization agenda.


+1 to you for standing up in that meeting and speaking your mind.

Not only the delays in Inland Spousal Sponsorship NEED to be addressed by Immigration Canada but also the MANY issues that prevent people from getting PR in a fair and timely manner. To put foreigners before our Canadian families in a government that claims families here are a priority is appalling. We must speak out and raise awareness on these issues to the general public that just doesn't know the facts and realities of our situation.

this current govt/minister are not immigration-friendly, they haven't done much on streamlining or improving the processing.
It should be a lot faster with computerized/barcoded application forms, etc rather than still sticking with the old forms/methods.
