Take a look at 2015 and march 2015 outland spreadsheet.
All march applicants which will be transfered to Ottawa or kept in Mississauga already received SA, what makes us think that they have some preference (If it's not just a coincidence, it's a sad thing to think). :(
There is no preference in Ottawa. I applied in September 2014 and I am STILL waiting to have a decision made on my application. It has been sitting in Ottawa since October 28th.

Mississauga, I do agree it seems to move quicker.

Ah, Ok! so Who get Ottawa or Mississauga? Are they for those who apply inland?
Usually US Citizens are processed in Ottawa.

Mississauga is hit or miss.

You know, I'm not telling about the stage 2.
Only until SA.
I know Ottawa is not a fast VO.
But do you agree it's a hugh coincidence?

Well I have seen that before with Beirut/Lebanon applicants, they were/are approved in couple of days. My questions is, do you know when CIC decides to transfer the application to Ottawa or Mississauga? it is that only for principle applicants already in Canada?

Am waiting as well. I think some factors would help determining why some are getting the SA before others, like, The sponsor:
- Nationality; Canadian or on PR.
- Lives in Canada or abroad.
- Was married before.
- Filed a Sponsorship application before.
- Has a stable job and income.

I know all these factors are private, so many ppl wouldnt like to share them.

I think your statement has some validity. I am sure that applications that are straight forward have a faster SA than applications that might have more complicating factors attached to them. However, in Sept the applicants pretty much received SA in order. Some had to wait longer but they had issues with their application that had to be resolved before they got SA.

Sometimes I wish there were guidelines posted so we knew how they decided what. lol

All I know is that US applicants are processed in Ottawa.
The ones who kept held in Mississauga I THINK it's because they are pretty straightforward applications.
But I don't know if any applicant from anywhere in the world could have this chance.
So far I've seen only US and UK applicants processed in Mississauga, but i can be wrong.

Yeah, I know the feeling!
But there's people AFTER us who already received it!
I'm happy for them, but must assume that makes me mad!

Fingers crossed!! May God hear our prayers :) :)

both the CIC processing times page and the 2015 sheet agree that they are working on application received on Feb 25th (if we take out the Ottawa/Mississauga applicants).

It is gonna be a 30 days AOR to SA for me. at lease that would get my expectation low for the coming week/s.
