2023 applicants are seeing faster processing. Once your application SLA is breached looks like there is no incentive to complete it. What matter is how fast you process newer ones. That would have a positive impact on processing timeline. Weird :rolleyes:

I honestly dont care whats the processing time for newer applicants but to tell the older applicants that, " Wait until 19 months, its still under processing time..." is pure BS! Apart from few who know that their file is complicated (read applicant outside canada, multiple citizenship, etc), most of us know NOTHING about why the file is delayed. There is NO LOGIC but pure lottery. And this is to a set of people who spent good 3 years in the country, paying taxes, etc. Cannot comprehend it.

Cheers mate, i can understand ur frustration. I'm not holding up ur file. My 2 cents were abt ur own good. But I see ppl get rude with no reason now a days on forum. In such cases, ironically let me rephrase in IRCC language - everything is normal your application is in process and well in standard processing time, and your case is routine. Hope that satisfies! We are all in this shite together, there's no logic in lottery rather arbitrary and random. Oh and I say here another phrase of IRCC ironically - every case is different. Facepalm,. So the sooner the better admit the lottery fact else be rude and argue here with me (the one meself is victim too of same miserable lottery system), lets continue baseless debate and mush our minds lol. Cheers mate! And seriously jokes apart, good luck and best wishes! Peace!

Couldn't agree more. One thing I stopped doing was to check the IRCC account every day. That made me live a little. It's unfortunate, but I still appreciate Canada giving out citizenships to folks who have lived here for over 3 years. I am still stuck since Jan 2022. before any thinks the grass is greener on my side :)
