The new government will not change the current quota of 1,900 applications, and investors will still be able to submit their applications and make their investment at the same clip as before.
But since, while keeping the application quota unchanged, the government has decided to reduce by more than 50% the number of CSQs it hands out, a CSQ backlog will grow sharply.
Considering the current processing times, it looks like the wait for the CSQ will more than double as a result of this policy change.
The wait-times for Canadian federal permanent residency, however, may shorten within a few years, as admission rates remain greater than those of selection.
