I'm a bit disappointed with this Feb group in terms of size. I expected it to be bigger than January (as more ITAs have been issued) but it's much smaller... I think by this tie last month we also had a lot more messages...

Come on FEB!!! Growwwww.. ;D

I guess here are the reasons:
1. good amount of January group are PNP nominees, and so they were rather ready and could send their application fast
2. another big group comes from poeple that have waited for ITA for some time and did all possible to increase their score. That can also indicate rather good readyness and again fast steps to send the application.

Now the ITA from January and February were rather big and included also some people that until recent did not have any hope to get ITA. With that said, they were a bit taken by surprise. So as a result they can be now franticaly gathering missing documents (for example reference letters can be kind of challenge).

Hence the seen delay that we see now. Then March and April groups shall be really big ones.

One more thing. Since we have these big draws, make sure that all your documents are there. As the officer will be overhelmed with application, so they use Ontario last year strategy (cancellation if anything is missing and such).

May be the invites were like this only but divided between paper based and EE based with a little more priority to paper based. With the reduction in paper based applications the number of ITAs have increased through EE. I don't think Canada would just increase the invites to earn the money through this. So, may be the IRCC staff was equally loaded with work. Rejection on petty things or asking for further document may depend on the officer who is handling the case. I just hope our applications are being handled by staff who are happy with their jobs. :D

Vensak, very good points... I fall into category #2, and had almost all documents already prepared because I had been waiting so long. Even my FBI PCC was ordered again in Nov., since I saw the change in score calculations statement on the 19th. It arrived in Jan., and this is the case with many other docs that I needed to prepare. I had most things ready, so once I got ITA, I went to the bank for my letters, scheduled my medical exam, and my app was pretty much complete, and submitted less than two weeks after ITA. I had been waiting since 2015! In between that time, I was doing everything possible to increase my score.

Thanks

Friends,
According to some of my friends the time taken after ITA and PPR depends case to case however few of my friends experience:
CEC in canada 2.5 months to 3.5,
FSW mostly after 4 months
