They always ask people not to send multiple requests, so I think they ignored the other one. And yes, I think we should all prepare new LOAs for January.
I was the one that mentioned calling CIC, and today I tried again and they reached paper applications submitted on June 19th, and online ones submitted in September (not sure about the day). And as nouman6269 said, I did mention that these times are for applications within Canada, but they can be taken as a reference for us, hence our applications are being processed now as we can see.
