New Processing time for EE

[Hansdza]

Didn't they say they updated it weekly? So I assume, these ones are correct then

Well , whatever the reason is . the Processing times for the existing applications will remain the same that is 6 months because the letter we got for AOR said the processing times.
So not to worry even if its an error.

are you sure manpreet? . OMG , 6 months to 15 months is too much ? can someone confirm by calling cic -ppl inside Canada ... please call them and update us here .

 

[sraj07]

is this the page that tells the processing times ? -- I mean the link shared by OP .. or is there any other page which tells the processing times .

The reason it states 2015 and not 2016 is because applications received before January 1 2015 would be paper and therefore processed differently. If you submitted it after January 1 2015 then it would be put through the Express Entry system.

Exactly my point. All applications submitted under EE after 1 January 2015 were processed in 6 months. I don't know why people are panicking now.

Because there's a still 4-5 months worth of old CEC applications that they have to clear up still. Maybe they're going to start working on those again and get them out of the way.

Dont Panic people , its a technical error. I called CIC and asked they are working on it and it will be fixed soon.

 

[sraj07]

thanks ..,
because medicals expires in 1 yr , so it cannot be 15 months

Meanwhile, can someone share the link for the online timelines calculator over this forum? I can't find it after website's change.

Express entry guys do not need to panic ...
Below is a paste from the same link provided on the first page of this topic:


Since Express Entry is a new system and not enough applications have been received yet, processing times are not available but we have committed to process the majority of applications in six months or less.

It probably is weeks instead of months. Makes sense, a little bit less than 4 months (average). Also it is impossible to have an average processing time of 15 months as we are only 12 months away from January 2015 and the CIC clearly says "The processing times only show the time it took to approve or refuse 80 percent of applications during some time in the past."

 

[Jaiveer Singh]

I think they mean applications on or from january 2016 will be having 15 months but not 2015. I am so depressed

 

[Express123]

I just checked the website and it says 6months

 

[Manni77]

Right now it shows as 15 Months
But I think it is an error
I checked last week and it was 6 months
Processing times cant increase by 150% in just 1 week
If they increase, they increase slowly,
So I think it is just an error

EE Applicants no need to panic
