I know this might not help you a lot, but here is what I believe causing the delay. BTW I posted this prediction about six weeks ago, and the way NDVO is working make it seems very accurate.
More than 80% of 2013 applications have been processed, and if you look at CIC spreadsheet, they report time they took to complete first 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% cases.
They never report time they took for 90% or 100% cases in their spreadsheets. This means that they don't have to answer to anyone for last 20% of the cases, so they take their own sweet time processing those files. Unfortunately we are the remaining 20%
Why 2014 is faster? Cuz they haven't reached the 80% mark.
How do we know that 80% of 2013 applications have been processed? See this analysis and depending on the sample size, accuracy of our data is over 95% https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ia0-o_NBzFXc2dtTqCPo29BjYvjqm34upYGByhChLXk/edit#gid=979088244
I tried explaining this to MP, but he thought I am just making issues because I am frustrated, and told me to have some patience.
Guys, once again I am requesting you to write an email to NDVO, cc to minister and MPs (maximum number). This is not our fault that medical expired, its their fault.
and 80/20 principle sucks, how are they deciding the 20% group, how could they put re-medical applicants into that group.
Re-medical applicants are done with everything, their files have been processed already, just for a strategy they are held for maximum limit (15 months), their visas have been already approved unless they are a security threat to country. You can read immigration standards. If they had doubt about these applicants, there must have been an interview instead of re-medical.
one more thing I never understood, if next month CIC change processing time to 10 years, it should be applicable to everybody or applicants applying from that day onwards...just common sense, which has become a super intelligence these days.
