They are still processing a large number of applications in 6 months and it’s commendable.
How about they stopped issuing ITAs before you received your invitation?
Also, I seriously doubt if severe winters would impact processing times as that’s normal in Canada and you too should brace yourself for this.
I know many people who have resigned from their jobs, made all the necessary arrangements to move along with their families completely clossing off ties with their homes and motherland after submitting every document mandated by IRCC for PR beveling that IRCC will indeed complete their applications with in 6 months, only to see that there is no update on their applications even after crossing the 6 months mark. they feel devastated, as they cannot join new jobs and quit again if they a PPR immediately after joining a new organization and the fear of IRCC asking for some additional documents from their old organisations. So when you experience such things happening to people around you, it will make you angry. I did not say that IRCC should stop PR immigration for ever, I said it should hold it until the existing applications are processed. Also FYI last year Canada post was on strike from December to 2nd or 3rd week of jan 2019, the same canada post used by IRCC for circulating our applications between various visa offices, hence the delay in processing Nov, dec applications. People who applied for PR in the months of Jan, feb from the consultancy I joined got their PPRs and have already moved to canada. everyone in this forum have their own problems and everyone expresses their anxiety differently
