June 2014 - CEC applications

[ironmanipl]

I think you should apply for BOWP. Remember CIC is taking a long time to process the BOWPs too. Here is the thing that you may want to note: If at anytime, after you have applied for BOWP, you get PPR, you can call CIC and withdraw your BOWP application if it has NOT gone under process yet which most likely won't go under process for at least 2 months going by the current trend. And if you are able to withdraw the application, they will REFUND the BOWP fee.

Thanks for the reply. That's good to know.

any of you have tried this, since your application has passed the official 14 month period (from application date as per cic websire, don't care what call centre agents have to say) from when they received your application. i'm october application, will certainly do so once 14 month timeline has passed.

Both myself / and MP were told that the 14 month timeline is based on the date that the file was received in Ottowa. So even though mine was received in June and I have an AOR date of early august 2014 - my file was not forwarded until the end of august. Therefore they have told me that my 14 months is not up until the end of this month.

For your info...,I have already tried this..This was their reply..""For your information, the processing times, provided on the website, is the average time it took visa offices to approve or refuse 80 percent of applications during a specified period in the past. They may not accurately predict future processing times. ""

So which means 14 months is average time according to them...

That's why the estimated processing time is useless with the word "average". I didn't trust that at all from day one. Even if it's a true statistics and not a random number they throw up on there, it is one of their naive tricks to cheat. Some elementary school math here for example:

Applicant A's case took 8 months
Applicant B's case took 15 months
Applicant C's case took 16 months
Applicant D's case took 17 months

The result: 8+15+16+17=56, then 56/4=14 months

Means that by giving priority to only 25% of cases (A) and delaying the rest 75% (B,C,D), the average doesn't look as bad. With the power of average plus the 80% buffer (they can exclude the most delayed 20% obviously), they now got much more time for making delays and still generate a still okay statistics.

Examples could have gone more dramatic. Put it another way: one billionaire and 999 homeless people, on average, 1000 millionaires

So you can see, even if our cases are delayed several more months, the average 80% processing time could still stay as 14 or 15 months.
