    Yep, absolutely normal. Average processing time is 15 months. What means that 50% of the time is more than that.

    Yep. REALLY CRAZY! The worst part is that with so many bright people leaving the country there will be very few left to change the current system. What is exactly what the government wants, I suppose.

    You are parting from the principle that they actually want the applicants well being. But in Canada, no one cares for you :P They would rather take your money now and reject you later :D

    According to kenney: We've managed to reduce the overall immigration backlog from 1 million in 2011 to 616,000 now, & project it will be at 436,000 in 2015. He should put a hold on applications for another year. 616 thousand people waiting! Just crazy.

    Yep. they will check your application is kind of alright. They will not however do the entire processing. So if one applications is very weak or very wrong, they will catch that and reject it.

    Sidney just checks if you have your docs completes and if you seem to qualify. Visa Office actually evaluates your application. It's that simple. Passing through PER is like being allowed in the classroom for a test, doesn't mean that you will get a A and pass the course.

    It's unbelievable. They cancelled about 200 thousand applications and that was still not enough to eliminate the backlog all together. He should at least acknowledge that he has been promising too much and delivering nothing.

    No value at all. Wait at least another 8 months. They have barely touched your application.
