Dear shk76,
Politely I differ with your opinion and express my grief to convey even worse logic here. It is written on the top of that table (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/skilled-fed.asp) that "The tables below indicate application processing times at Canadian visa offices outside Canada. The times are based on how long it took to process 80 percent of all cases between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011. Processing times are subject to change." So, the statistics is based on the files already processed. It is not a prediction on the file to be processed. So, Mr. drnavmz may have to wait more than 0.5 months.
Praying for you so that you get response within 17 months. Please inform us when you succeed by PM or here.
All the Best anyway.
