Hello everyone,
I called CIC agent to follow-up on my application received on August 12th 2014. He said the processing time for CEC before EE is 14 months from the date AOR is received. However, my application reached Ottawa centre in Jan 2015 and 14 months processing time will be considered from Jan 2015 in my case. He said usually, once AOR is received, the application is sent to Ottawa CPC. However, due to backlog of cases, the applications were sent to CPC-O quite after AOR was sent from Nova Scotia office which explains why many August applicants haven;t received MR or any further request. So in my case the agent said, I should receive decision latest by March 2016 (again based on workload at cic officers end).
