Re: Breaking News.....Kenny going to FREEZE FSW for 2012 to reduce backlog....

Yep just came on here to post the same rumour from here:

Bad news for those waiting to send their applications next week!
 
Not good for PRE FEB 2008 >:(


The budget bill also will eliminate about 280,000 visa applications submitted under the Federal Skilled Worker Program before February 2008 by refunding their application fees to the tune of $130 million. The move effectively will reduce the skilled worker backlog to about 110,000.
