actually it will not differ too much when the 6 months will be start counting , they are excluding the time between Arrima Invitation and Mon projet submission & time between document request and AOR received ( which is more than 2 months in my case)
So for example, in my case I should receive my CSQ in late june / early july max ?

"Rappelons que le Ministère s’engage à rendre une décision sur les demandes de sélection présentées à la suite d’une invitation dans un délai de 6 mois (jours ouvrables accumulées)"
First it was 6 months from invitation
Then 6 months from AOR
Now it's 6 months counted in working days
I am sorry to say that but some people are just incompetent. They are just playing with words to reach targets.
I would not be surprised if they come and say Fridays don’t count as working day because they have a full day of meetings and cannot work.

I never heard, in my entire life, counting months in working days... It's bullshit

I sent my docs on April mid and still waiting for AOR . so my countdown didnt start yet :-(
I called them last Friday. The agent was saying that these days it takes around two months to receive an AOR and I have to wait. A week ago, another agent was saying that the documents registration process is very very slow nowadays since they only process them once a week (someone goes to the office one day a week to register the received documents). Hope this helps

@@Lazymon82 , can you help us with your response ? you are a "Inland + VJO + not a Bill 9 Victim + not a French test" is that correct ?
Hey guys! Sorry! I was stuck with WFH troubles and employers cost cutting strategies.

Yes, i'm inland + VJO + no french test + not bill 9 victim.

But i had applied in april 2018 and had trouble including my wife in the application because of technical problem and as there was no cancelling option on "mon du proj" i had to call MIDI then and ask them to cancel and get a refund which took 2 months ( i do not know if this has to do anything with current processing times but this happened in 2018 )

Hope you guys will get updates in the coming days and lets all regroup in the new 2020 federal thread (not the existing 1500 post federal thread)

I believe processing time also depends on how complicated applications are may be?

If the applicant is single with very few documents to verify? If the married applicants have single graduate degrees? If they have no travel history except 1 trip to Canada? etc and so forth which ever makes an application simple to process with very less effort from the officer?

I know i can speculate now as mine is already approved but only doing so to ease your minds during the frustrating period of waiting as i passed it already...

Good luck!
