It's really hard to tell. Those applied between Sept 07 and Feb 08 are currently still looking at around a five years wait, but don't forget, this latest announcement is part of the plan announced in the federal budget to overhaul the immigration service and reduce waiting times, so they could well introduce other measures to reduce the wait for these people at some stage.
For those applying after 27 Feb 08 ... well, very uncertain. Either points rise or more selective about occupations to meet Canada's needs? Just guessing here.
At present it is all speculation as to how this will go. I am sure there will be more info announced in coming weeks. Good idea to keep an eye on the CIC site. I hope they give more info soon. I am sure there are a lot of people who will find this latest announcement quite stressful.
