How about this petition,
if someone tell you the old left CEC will need wait years to get result. now half Sep almost gone, still no move on Aug. everything looks suspicious now.
what will you do now ?
if we don't sign it , wait years, we failed.
if we sign it , they may just abandon all the cases and try to face blame, we failed too, but they may start handle it too.
I don't really get your point. CIC has been taking pretty much 16 months to process applications in 2015 (most april applicants got cleared by the end of July (of course many were done in june but at the most, the vast majority were completed by the end of July)).
Most applicants from May got finalized in August, of course a few still waiting but the majority seems to have cleared recently.
I would expect for August applicants to be dealt with according to those timelines by December (and hear from them in November with various requests). I know it is a long and frustrating process, but you have to look at the majority of files, not the few exceptions that are taking longer/shorter.
There is nothing that you can really do to make it faster and venting your frustration is fine and understandable, but to make your life easier, I strongly encourage you to do everything you can to maintain your status and be reactive when receiving inquiries or requests from CIC and....just wait.
Having unreasonable expectations in terms of your timeline will only make your life harder. It is very unlikely that the processing time that you can see for other months (by looking at their topics) will change (may get longer but even that i doubt it at this point, the resources allocated are very unlikely to change and the inflow of refugees will most likely be compensated by the end of the summer (less people taking vacations)).
Accept that you will not hear from CIC most likely until November if you are an August applicant and your life will go much easier, it will let you plan accordingly (work permit applications, vacations, trips, jobs....) and will reduce your frustration.
