As listed on topic, Will Syria refugee acceptance influence Visa processing time of skill workers?
I'm from China; My "skill worker" application submited to Sydney，Nova Scotia was signed in Nov 2014;
I feel that in recent time the processing of skill workers type seems to slow down
for most of applicants(as shown in local immigration forum) who submitted their application on October, 2014 had received "picking up letter" and got "Decision Made" status updated, or even received "permenant residence"on october. However, applicants followed are not so lucky, they don't receive status updating after "medical result received" status.
Some people said it's because refugee receiving absorbs too much CIC resource.
How do you feel?

No. Refugees sponsored by the Canada and its different provinces/teritorries has no effect to immigrants permanent residents application to their destined provinces. Check your Visa office processing time

Definitely yes.
Looking at CIC Twitter mentions are flooded with complaints of delayed visa and their website suddenly having "difficulties" for weeks now, I think they are prioritizing Syrians, all others must wait until god knows when
