Now under processing times: they have added another question to see if you applied before dec 7 or after.
 
So for anyone who applied prior to dec 7, 12 month processing time does not apply?
That's not fair.
 
check processing time on CIC web...they changed there.

Spouse or common-law partner living outside Canada

Submitted before December 7, 2016

India

18 month(s) ?
Includes assessment of sponsor.

Hi!
I just checked it after reading your post. Its 12 months for those who applied from CANADA before 7th Dec 2016 and 12 months again if you applied after 7th Dec 2016.
If you applied from INDIA before 7th Dec its still 18 months and 12 months if you applied after 7th Dec.
But it also says that they'll clear the applications which were applied before 7thDec 2016 by Dec 2017.
Don't know why they're playing with our emotions :(

The minister said this do not apply for people already in process. Our files will be processed within 8-9 months.

In another 8-9 months or total? Because my husband is at 11 months now still in BG check in process for the last month. Wondering if our timeline will go over 12 months?
 
Do not panic guys ... we are in safe hands ...
according to CBC news #

Newcomers to Canada will soon have a much shorter wait to reunite with their spouses, partners and children.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Minister John McCallum announced today in Brampton, Ont., that the current average two-year processing period will be reduced to 12 months. The new one-year guarantee will apply to applications already in the queue and new applicants.


who ever applied before December , this new rule of 12 months is applicable to them too . so who already is in there 8 months queue , will have to wait 4 more months. but like they said , its with in that time frame , so it could be less then 12 months .

So if I applied from Canada for my Outland husband in a india it should be 12 months now. Great that's also what CIC site says but we're in month 11 and they have not done anything. Means they better start soon to meet that deadline!
 
Congrats to everyone who got DMs and PPRs and good and all the best for the future.
