Nice charts !
I've a query regarding the Origin- Location/ Country of the Application. say, sending it from US or UK or Asia Pac will take diff time/ days (in the ascending order) just because of its proximity to Canada (ON or NS). So clubbing all App from all over the globe for the given agencies wont be an apple to apple comparison !
Hi Neel-here,
this really makes sense, but for now there are too few applications to make proper charts by country of origin. The existing charts are still good as an approximation, and I'd bet on them for my decisions (I wish I had them when I was thinking which service to choose).
Though, let's wait for more applications to reach CIC and then see if there are any country exceptions from the overall statistical data.

A note on the "Weekend": I think Weekends can be utilised if the shipment is 'In-transit'. However, if a Weekend is involved in the Origin or Destination then it may result in delays. For eg if the packey is booked on late Fri or Sat then chances are that it won't depart the home country until Mon. Similarly, if the packet reaches Sydney NS on/after Fri afternoon, it wont be delivered to CIO until the following Mon (in AM).
I'm not sure how can this be counted automatically and reliably enough. I'd not make it too difficult and just keep using business days, the noise will even out as number of applications grows.
