sorry for that
I have a very important question
what will happen when 3 rd set of instruction appears in July 2011
who will be priori zed ?
first set
second set
third set
Nobody knows for sure until Canadian parliament sends instructions to the visa offices asking them to re-prioritise. It is likely to be at least 2 or 3 months after the 1st July 2011 before the first post-July-2011 applications reach the visa offices, probably longer if last year's summer slow-down is anything to judge by.
But the main difference between the MI-I catalog and MI-II catalog is the number. The number of MI-IIs in total is less than 13,000 across all visa offices and is a manageable number. There are still over 144,000 MI-I applications left in the catalog of applications.
My guess (and this is just a guess) is that they will either finish the MI-II applications then move onto MI-III - or they will prioritise MI-III and then have MI-II as 2nd priority. In either case the total number of applications will be less than their targets and less than their resource can manage, so they can spend the remainder of the year working on MI-I and pre-Feb-2008 applications.
CIC have reduced the total application backlog from 600,000 to 300,000 in a couple of years - so I reckon they are probably targetting completely clearing the backlog within the next 2/3 years.
