This link provides the CIC processing times:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-ec.asp

Express Entry applications should be processed within 6 months. CEC application submitted prior to 2015 are reported on there as taking 12 months on average.

No one can really give you an update, because we obviously don't have access to the CIC files.

If you did apply prior to 2015, then it's worthwhile adding your case to a tracker, such as this one:
http://www.trackitt.com/canada-immigration-trackers/canadian-experience-class

You can use the information there to make some estimates on processing times.

I agree with what arowberry says, above. There is no way for anyone to confirm this. There isn't much point in constantly calling CIC to ask for updates on your application. If it's within the 12-month processing time they won't have an answer. We all are waiting, and waiting can be frustrating, but at the end of the day, there isn't anything anyone can do to make the process faster. If you want a faster process, apply under Express Entry.
