Be hopeful always...
Im oct 2016 cic applicant. And i received my visa last oct 2017. I did not expect that but God is so great and hopefully before Feb we will land.
Im saying this to let you know that there are cases which is different from others and might happen to you too.
We met an applicant during medical, after a month she received her ppr and less than a week visa on hand. Now, she's already working in manitoba.
Just be patient and hopeful... That's the only thing you can do aside from praying! God bless.
