I've been in Canada for 7 years, working and paying taxes for 3 years, and my application will reach the 6-month milestone next month.
Yes, I do feel frustrated sometimes since it takes quite a while for IRCC to work on my case, but again, they do not promise me or anyone here that 100% cases will be done within 6 months. I also don't go to this forum and post an essay complaining how sh*tty IRCC is, and how should it function as a democracy country. The other guy is acting like his application is the only thing IRCC and other security agencies around the world should pay the utmost attention to.
