I traveled 3000 miles to get my re-medicals done ASAP. If I'd known that these clowns would take this long, I could've just scheduled it where I live. Almost 4 weeks since and no progress.Same for me, there's been obstacles in each step. This time after ADR getting PCC on time was such a task. After all those efforts and stress to submit it before the deadline, here I am still waiting
Yeah, Europe is far more enticing compared to this now. In terms of time taken for obtaining citizenship, there is no practical difference now.
Damn! They should also have a deadline to give decision on the application after the requested documents are submitted. It's so unfair to give us a deadline to submit the documents in 30 days and then taking forever to process the application.
It's the average processing time of 80% of the applications finalized in the past 6 months, it's going to be updated each week.
The times mentioned are the 80th percentile times for applications processed in the last (3 or 6 idk) months.
It's a dynamic time based on past applications. But since past backlogs will snowball into newer applications, I'm guessing it's like this:
I don't think it's the average of 80 percent of the applications. Based on my understanding, it's the processing time of the 80th percentile when sorted by processing time. So, 80 percentage of the applications were processed within 27 months. The average should be significantly lower.
but it doesn't make sense. We've been told 6 months since we applied. All our plans were made on that basis. A jump between 6 months and 22 months after 1 month of applying is illogical. I live in Canada at the moment but applied for the PR because it helps on too many levels. Waiting for 2 more years renders all the efforts I've put useless
Yeah it's just some dynamic timeline to expect for new applicants based on the past. Better information for new applicants than my dumbass expecting a 6 month processing time and renewing lease every 6 months lolSo the 27-month processing is based on past applications. It doesn't necessarily mean we will see 27 month wait period. But, hey who am I kidding? It's IRCC that we are dealing with.
Doesn't necessarily have to be 2 years. The 6 month time was never real for FSW since COVID. They just decided to cut the bullshit now. This new estimate is a dynamic estimate so you know how long you may have to wait based on current backlogs/processing times. Depends on how fast they clear the backlog, what they are willing to do to improve (staffing/processing measures etc) and how many new applications they take. The time may well go down once the backlog is cleared. Atleast that's what I hope. Or Canadian immigration will drop significantly since it'll lose its one practical advantage
