I heard that now it takes around 12 months since the processing of the file, honestly I dunno how they calculated that and what it is based on, but am sure there is something wrong, people get them in 6 months, others in 8 months, others in 9 months, now i'm hearing 12 months.., it seems that all the timelines in the cic website aren't accurate at all, seems more random to me, or like everything goin in Egypt, bl baraka :s
