Update:

VFX_man AOR: Feb 12, 2018

Looks like we went in as individuals [was prepared by a law firm] versus the listed "family" so my wife's previous data is the same as mine. But, since I am 55, I am exempt from the Test so our schedules could end up being different.

Updated! We can keep it as one entry for now. Can separate it out later should the need arise. You will most likely need to appear for an interview, even though you're exempted from the test.

I just got off the call with the Agent... and I was told they are working on files received as of 15th Dec

I figured out there are three types of officers assessing our applications.
1. Slow -- ( taking 3-5 weeks to send AOR)
2. Slower ( 5-9 weeks )
3. Ridiculously slow ( only god knows how they are processing )
Unfortunately, maybe you and I are in the third category and will have to play another round of CIC wait game that started 7 years ago with an application for a study permit.
Finger crossed and being patient is the only option for us

Those were exact my thoughts too, CIC wait game.Honestly, like everytime with CIC is soooooo slow in my case lol. There is so much inconsistency in their system, I understand its so many applications for permits, PRs, Cit... etc going to them, and they have lot to do, but still man follow some set procedure.
Wait is the only option.

Look on the bright side... these current timelines so far seem fast compared to the usual timelines when I applied in 2013. Back then you were fortunate to be done in a year. My 7 months timeline at the time was considered very fast.

@keesio You are absolutely right. They are getting better at it.

I can't see the update.

Sometimes it takes 30-45 minutes for updates to be reflected.

My guess: it's that time of the year where public servants/officers get renewed (most of them probably are term employees)... so they got a push from managers , on being more productive vs being let go + productivity goes up when contract's up for renewal because employees think job performance = renewal... just a guess... who knows though!
