Guys, any idea why the CIC rep on the phone might have said that 'Decision made' doesn't mean 'Final decision', and that a final decision hadn't been taken on my application? Was she just talking out of her a**, like so often seems to be the case?

I called today morning and lady didn't even wanted to look at my file and said decision made means it can be approved or declined. I then told her that I got my ready for Visa email and I sent in my passport. She said Oh then its approved.

The average processing time for CEC says 20 months. Is that new, or has it said 20 months for a while? I could have sworn that I had calculated I was over the average processing time, but if it's 20 months then I guess I'm not quite there yet.

Doesn't make too much difference now, but call centre operator wouldn't check what my 'Decision Made' status actually was because I wan't yet at 20 months.

Contact your local MP office and they will inquire on that status on your behalf, CIC can't mess with an MP office :D
Don't worry it will be a positive decision ;)

Good luck

When they are "busy" you always get this message and they hang up on you
You simply need to keep trying
I personally found that calling later in the day before they close I can get through and speak with someone

Good luck
