Yeah, that was a day of complete silence from CIC. Shame. Maybe the start of the week is always the quietest but last week we had some action on tuesday. Alas.

At the moment we have no concept of how long SA's will take for April groups. AOR's still going at a regular pace. All those still waiting are at 21 days most and 13 days least, so no surprises that there isnt an AOR yet. Could be as high as 25 according to the spreadsheet.

Anyone can update but i'm the one organising it. Did you want to add/change something?

Question, after sending the application, how long is the shortest waiting time to get an update or information from CPC? or at least see an update in e-cas?
seems to be around 3 weeks at the moment on average.

well, only one person is over the 41 day expected time for SA. Everyone else is under to guess it's normal.

Well, the end of March hasn't received their SAs either. 11 people (according to the 2016 Outland Spreadsheet) are over the processing time. Maybe a couple didn't update the spreadsheet, but I think when that many people aren't listed as having SA it's safe to say that at least a few people are above the SA processing time.

Yeah that's true. I just meant in terms of CIC considering it an issue.

Yeah, I'm only at 34 days so I still have another 8 days until it can be considered an issue, but the lack of SAs for people from the end of March is unsettling.

There is another push on for Syrian refugees. I wonder if resources have been diverted?

From everything I've read the about the first time around, it's very unlikely.

It's actually normal for SA to take up to 60 days. It fluctuates throughout the year between 30-60 normally.

Looks like one person got AOR today, according to our April spreadsheet. At least Mississauga sent out something today.

Congratulations! So, that's two people with AORs from today. I'm glad we're at least getting something from Mississauga today.

A diversion of resources could very well be why things have slowed down across the board. Where did you read that there is another push for Syrian refugees? Just curious.

Sweet! 2 AOR's.

I'd love to know what the inside of CPC Mississauga looks like. A massive pile of applications they just fish out of? Funny to think of how theyre processed.
