Here is a small statistic that I have made to clarify the reason of why CIC is stucking in May 7th applicants.
5-May 50 5.08%
7-May 138 14.02%
8-May 69 7.01%
9-May 54 5.49%
12-May 63 6.40%
14-May 59 6.00%
This statistic is based on comparing between the received applications per day versus the total received applications until now (dates applications in forum = 984 applications). It can be clearly seen that there are only 6 days which have percentage higher than 5% as per above data, all other days are lower than 2%. In other words, those six days are the bottle neck, after that processes will be smoother, faster and easily to be predict.
Let's wait and pray until CIC finish those heavy days.
Cheers
