from time to time CIC changes their processing times , it's very important to print out a page from the CIC website where it says processing is 12 months and keep it as a proof if you every had to go and see your MP after 12 months of processing, , not to be supprised if CIC change their processing period in 2019 from 12 months to 24 or 36 months !It's too early to see MP ... 6 months only after application received and processing time is 12 months
