I would put the figure closer to 421.976 instead.

What is a typical working day, in hours of DIMA?

It is just a SWAG but a pretty good one.
...and goes without saying that this appears to be the approximate number of applications that are successful per day.
...so the total processed would be more than 421 and that is MY SWAG at it.

AFAIK, DIMIA does not announce anything on weekends, so I'd hazard a guess that they do not work on Saturdays.
However, the number of approvals do not necessarily give any indication of the number of applications - thus the actual rate of processing is unknown, unless you know the total number of applications for the year.

421 * approx 200 working days = 84200 visas (approved or not) would suggest a very low number of applications.
Regarding my last post. It was only ment as a joke. Don't really care how many they process as long as they get to mine soon (within 2 years).

You need to be careful. 'Approvals' refers to visa grants, and this
is based on the number of people rather than the number of
applications. For example, an applicant, spouse + 2 kids = 4 visa
approvals, even though there's only one application.

Contrary to popular myth public servants do sometimes work at
weekends, but it tends to be more at manager level. I recall a post
on this NG last March from someone who was phoned by AHC London at the
weekend to say they'd been approved, and in passing that the AHC was
working overtime to make inroads into its backlog.

Also, not all applications take the same degree of processing.
Onshore student applications for example usually take less work (as
there's an Australian qualification and no work experience to verify).
Add to that the fact that this category will have a different ratio of
main applicants to dependants compared to offshore skilled
applications, and you can begin to see there are a lot of missing
pieces to the jigsaw.

Hi
I was phoned on Easter Sunday by AHC in London to be told we had our visas. If I hadn't already spoken to the man a few weeks previous then I may have thought it was a wind up and hurled some verbal abuse at him. Thankfully I recognised his voice! I do think this was an exception though, I don't believe they generally work weekends. Apparently they were trying to clear some of the backlog!!!!
