Well for notification to give test, it takes at least
1) An year if you're lucky
2) 2 years if you're moderately lucky
3) Varying range of lucks for time frames in between
4) Seriously deprived of luck beyond 2 years.
If I were you, I will also see how things move in Edmonton as our Edmontonian friends were out of a Citizenship judge for a long time and I believe they got one only recently. If one considers the processing time for the overall Canada is slower, then the Edmonton processing time would wanna make them love the rest of the country's processing times. Not sure if its still the same.
PS: it would be a lot helpful if from the next time if you can please put up a better subject line for this thread, rather than a generic "Help! Help! Help!", that's what one says when he's drowning. For other kinds of help we have enough time to put some descriptive message up there, I guess. Just my 2 cents.
