Is 9 months the new norm for EE processing time?

I have heard from a few people (including in this forum) that they've been told by the CIC or their representative that they need to wait for 9 month for their applications to be finalized.
I thought I'd start this new thread to see if others have heard the same thing upon calling CIC or from other sources.

No its still 6 months but depend on case to case. If you follow AOR september thread they ate getting PPR within 5-6 months timeframe

This link over here says 6 months, but in reality, it depends on case to case. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/index.asp#

You got your ITA last Feb 2015 and still not processed? Did you make any CASE Specific Inquiry?

 

[tempa]

yeah, I did.
and every time I got same response: under review.

What your GCMS notes say, it would give an idea where your file is stuck

I talked to my immigration helper on Friday. She is in contact with other immigration lawyers and their clients made it all under 6 months. So I guess it is case specific.

I wouldn't say it's case specific, I would say it is VOs specific

Tempa, how complicated is your case? Meaning do you feel there is anything in your application that could delay your processing time by more than six months, i.e., were you divorced; any complex situation with your spouse or children; number of countries you have resided, is your employment, POF and background in general easily verifiable, etc.?
