I took a sample of 34 people who started their application in early 2010 and are now finished
their application at New Delhi
11.7% of the people had to go for an interview.
29.4% of the people had to submit additional documents or go for an interview.
76.4% of the people had a passport request in 29 days from the date of sponsorship approval in Mississauga.
The rest were much longer like 40-80 days.
58.8% of the applications were done in 69 days from the date of sponsorship approval in Mississauga.
This group also included 30% of the people who had to submit additional documents or go to an interview.
Minimum 38 days to a maximum 91 days.
41.2% of the applications were done in 132 days from the date of sponsorship approval in Mississauga.
This group also included 70% of the people who had to submit additional documents or go to an interview.
Minimum 100 days to a maximum 279 days.
I was approved on Feb 22, 2011.
Passport Request should be on March 23, 2011. Actual: March 10, 2011
Visa with no complications should be on May 2, 2011.
Visa with complications should be on July 4, 2011.
I also got a typical right skew distribution that also agreed with some data on CIC website before they changed it.
Again this is from the date that your sponsor is approved in Missauga.
