Interesting to know those facts...
But, my delay is expected since I added my spouse to my application in May 2014 as I got married in April 2014. So I guess it is normal in my case as they didn't touched my file until I submitted them additional requested docs.
On top of that on July 07, 2014 I got email from CIC that CPC-Ottawa DOES NOT accept Application fees via filling out IMM5620 form.
They only accept receipt (PDF) generated right after online payment.
Hence, I then paid application fees for my spouse on July 7, 2014 online and emailed them receipt (PDF).
So, my wait is normal for me but since its end of July 2014. Now, I must hear something from them soon....
I am expecting to get some kind of update in Aug 2nd Week. Till then I hope you guys should get some updates.
Good Luck Guys!!!
