Someone posted this in the April Outland 2016 thread, and I thought it would be good to share it: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/2016-06-13.asp
"This year, the Government increased the number of spaces allowed for spouses, partners and dependent children by 14 000, bringing it up to 62 000 spaces.
Over the past few years, more people have applied to come to Canada in the spousal category than there was space for in previous immigration levels plans; this has created a backlog. This year, the Government will reduce this backlog."
It's nice to see something official on the CIC website addressing the backlog and wait times. It also helps to confirm that some visa offices have already started speeding up their processing times.
