guys, im just wondering how do we count the processing time? do we need to include the weekends? and perhaps holidays in canada? since the latest update in CIC as of June 27, 2012 for the first step(assessment of sponsor) is 82 days and the second step (assessment of person being sponsored) is 8 months hence, we need to add both step 1 + step 2 = more or less 10 months? this is the maximum processing time for the whole application to finish?
(need to speak in englsh for the benefit of step C...hehehehe..now I'm the one who is having nosebleed ;D)
