You recently bought a Airplane Ticket and as some similar reports in the resent past suggested this actually helps to make CIC progress farther an application. Just another prove that CIC has access to the Airplane Ticket database. Congrats once again Sudanese.

Your experience just prove once again that CIC has access to the Airplane tickets database. There have been similar reports that after an airplane ticked is purchased usually some movement from CIC follows shortly after. Good luck at the interview Sudanese

Let's don't forget the priority to remove the visas for Mexico, which makes the whole picture really absurd. Canada is risking to decrease a lot of the value of the Canadian passport if the EU apply visas for Canadians and at the same time Canada works hard on lifting the visas for Mexicans...

It is a standard in a sense that from now we know that there will be minimum 20% which will definitely experience delays. The decent applications which are waiting for years are representing exactly the unlucky 20%. Of course that it depends on the officer, if he/she sees that he/she will not...

Living in a place where the local office works fast or normal will help for sure to avoid being part of the unlucky 20%. Applying when the general intake is low (like now and until the effective date of the proposed 3/5 rule) is also helpful factor to avoid the 20%. The timing is very important...

Around 1h, depends of the size of the group.

Most of us soon will enter into this lottery , so it would be very helpful if someone knows to share when to apply in order to make the chances very slim to get into the unlucky 20%. Definitely the timing of the application matters here, but the question is when is the most appropriate timing...

I am looking at what is going on practically as end results. There are many instances recently where applicants are wondering why their application is stuck for a long time without any request from CIC for extra documents. Straight forward applications sitting for a long time without any process...

Exactly this is my point that from practical end result is indeed unfair system. At the moment I still can't find the reports from the last couple of years that CIC admitted that they were able to process only around 60% of all applications on time and therefore they were unable to keep the 80%...

Exactly the 80% is their goal and once this goal is not met there is unknown amount of time remaining for the final decision of the rest. All of you are basically saying the very same thing I did at the very beginning. There is fundamental problem with these delays. Everything will be fine...

Yes we are PR for long time and we are living here for a while, we don't deserve that attitude from CIC. They admit that only 80% can expect to be processed within 12 months, because that standard have been in place for a long time already. The problem is that the applications will not stop...

Exactly this means that the rest 20% will experience delays because they are build up in the system of 80% - 20% division. Only 80% will be processed within 12 months. The rest will not be processed within 12 months. It is the same thing. minimum 20% of all applications will experience...

Yep that is the only solution to make CIC truly liable and accountable for their processing performance. But they are absolutely aware of that fact and therefore such mandatory processing regulations doesn't exist. A PR can only feel helpless because indeed there is nothing we can do. It is like...

Pure lottery. The problem is that there is no real deadline for those who inevitably fall into the unlucky 20%. The only guarantee is that the processing times will be for sure more than 12 months for minimum 20% of all applications. Cruel games from CIC.

Yes it was confirmed that CIC will continue to maintain this standard. Only 80% will be processed on time. If you have time you can watch it in the archive from 12 April is currently uploaded at http://www.cpac.ca/en/house-portal/ Yes the fundamental problem is in that standard. It will ensure...

That standard will continue to be effective, it was mentioned at the Committee. IRCC will continue to process on time only 80% of the applications. Which means that always there will be at least 20% with delays. The application doesn't have to be complicated or non-routine to experience delays...

Frankly I don't see any legal grounds for suing them, simply because there were never any mandatory timelines to follow. The standard IRCC follows is 80% on time and the rest 20% with unknown delays. It is just like a lottery. Like tds69us mentioned, there is a big misconception that only those...

The new "deadline" is the end of this year. This was mentioned at the Committee today. Note: This is the new "deadline" for now. I expect some more farther into the future "deadlines" to follow.

I definitely don't see the reasoning behind the priority decision to waive the visas to Mexicans. Mexico has massive amount of criminals, and huge population living in poor conditions with a high chance to seek asylum in Canada. The total population of Romania, Bulgaria is just a fraction of...

In this regard I seriously don't understand the true reasoning why Canada is giving priority to waive the visas for Mexico. Mexico has huge population, standard of living not so good and on top of that I am sure that many Mexicans will seek claiming asylum in Canada . Mexico also has huge...
