to explain my point a bit more..........
today at work i had a cake waiting for me at my desk with the words CONGRATS ON YOUR SPONSORSHIP / PROMO LOVE CIC
anyways after the little surprise we talked a bit about the process and my senior supervisor told me this is common, recently they hold files in Mississauga for months.......... then they send it to a Corresponding office and there it will be processed within a week.... he said you were one of the unlucky ones.... you had to wait 2 months for a transfer and it didnt count.......... where new applicants wait and the time they wait is counted for their file.... so yeah if your file is still in Mississauga/ottawa or whatever , it still counts as processing times, but for many of us it didnt because we were caught in the middle of a bad situation
