nabil2009,

"The approval of Parliament must be obtained in order for measures proposed in the budget to be implemented. Members of Parliament also participate in the budget process through parliamentary standing committees, especially the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance."

The budget is reviewed and approved between March and June. This is when any changes or amendments are made then the proposed budget becomes law . We will have to wait at least, until June time for news, to see what applications if any will be processed and which will be terminated.
In the mean time CIC are still processing applications.

can i do job on business visa
If you mean, obtain a Business visa, then get a job with a third party, then no.
Go on to the CIC web site and read up about Business visa's.

I contacted CIC London about three weeks ago for more information regarding the proposed termination of the backlog of visa applications. I received a reply today.

"Applications that have not been finalized by the enactment date of the proposed legislation may be terminated by operation of law and may not be processed to completion. Applicants whose applications are terminated as a result of EAP 2014 will have the application fees returned to them. More information will be made available in the coming weeks regarding which applications will be affected.

If you choose to continue with the processing of this application, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) cannot guarantee that this application will be finalized prior to the date the IIP and EN proposal becomes law.

Please note that making the investment or submitting any other documentation before it is specifically requested by a visa office will not result in expedited processing of an application"

Even if you have submitted some documents, your application will be terminated. Your application has to be finalized in the next few weeks otherwise it's over.

Hi Viz,
I am afraid that the proposed termination of the backlog is going to happen if we like it or not. If it is in your 'kismet' your application may get processed otherwise applicants will have to look to another route to Canada.
You cannot blame the Canadian government for taking this action, the whole process is not fit for purpose. I do blame timewasters, applicants who apply for a visa but do not meet the criteria for the visa .
The approval rate for Entrepreneur visa at London visa office is about 50%. That is time and recourses wasted on applications that do not qualify. The whole process gets clogged up because of these types of applications.
In 2012 London processed 30 applications, approved 12. In 2013 they processed 25 applications and approved 13.

You can try data.gc.ca there are a number of reports available there... you will be more interested in the "applications processed abroad" report.
