If you could share your timeline pre-CSQ, I would appreciate that too. I did submit to MIDI in January 2018 (and got acknowledgement letter the following month) and have yet to hear back from MIDI on the interview, etc.
I came across this so it made me worried whether the change would affect my timeline.

It says that:
"But since, while keeping the application quota unchanged, the government has decided to reduce by more than 50% the number of CSQs it hands out, a CSQ backlog will grow sharply. The wait-times for Canadian federal permanent residency, however, may shorten within a few years, as admission rates remain greater than those of selection. "
This looks like it might affect those who have submitted to the MIDI for CSQ but hasn't received it? However, for those who have passed that point, the federal process might take shorter time, no?
