So, I called CIC today as well. 22 min waiting, not bad. Extremely polite and beautiful voice agent on the other side.
I asked about my specific case, 'I have been waiting more than 6months now...', 'are you single?', 'gosh, what a sexy voice you have!', all this stuff. She told me my case is on the last stage, security check and this part of the process relies on information provided by different sources and right now she could not really tell when a decision would be made. Nothing really new here.
Anyway, I asked about inland processing times, specifically PNP applicant on all categories and she said that there's a general growing backlog and there are plans in place to take care of it, which is good. But she never mentioned a specific PNP inland related backlog. I almost felt a small complaint on her voice (jezz, what a voice!!!) that there is more work and the same amount of people...
So, happy friday everyone, hang in tight, we will get there!
