The one posted on their website is an estimate. It can be shorter or longer than that on case to case basis. For me I guess it's quicker cause I had TRV before and valid US visa. Some may take longer due to their circumstances.
You need to consider the holidays as well.
I see. Some applications take sometime. Through they are giving estimated number of days, there are other circumstances that cause delay (e.i. holidays, bulk of applicants, etc).
Unfortunately, they don't consider your ticket. Regardless if it's confirmed or not. They follow their timeline and the procedures they need to make decision.
I have no idea how long they get back to emails.
Please consider Ramandan timing for next week. Though I don't want you to feel bad but just stating reality. Courier & other services are expected to be slow during this time in GCC.
That's why don't apply to close to your travel date and don't confirm booking until visa is approved.
What was the reason mentioned in the refusal letter? Did you attach an explanation letter on the purpose of travel?
You can state those reasons for not leaving Canada after your vacation.
Check processing time in Mumbai from below website. Also consider holidays like Good Friday.

Sad to hear that. You should give allowance for the processing of application. I guess it's too late but try contacting them through web if you think it is beyond the normal processing time.

for your employment situation. I wonder if you provided an employment letter from your employer? For my case I requested for that and our HR mentioned there that I remain an employee and would return to company.
Hi. You may include your wife's bank statement (if in case you will be the applicant). Just mention in a letter that you include her proof of income as she will share the expenses of the trip. Also, you may request for bank statement right after you got your salary to show substantial balance...
