Online processing time 16 weeks on CIC site..... but it is expected, within 4-5 weeks.. as cic mention on site that 72% officers working from Home for only online applications.....
So applied online..........

Your application in process???

4-5 weeks is very fast. That isn't typical processing time. Can you attach the link. Haven't seen that information about percentage working from home. Thanks!

Currently about 71% or 72% of our employees are working either from home or in the workplace. The number working in the workplace is quite small, only about 2% or 3% of our employees.
We are now beginning the process of bringing people back into the work site and, as you can imagine, there are some challenges with that. It will be a while before we are all back at the work site, but we have identified priorities and we're bringing people back into those sites safely.
 
Thank you. :)
No. Correspondence letter only.
I have submitted my application(Paper based) with passport and now under "Document Status" i can see my passport number, visa validity, file number etc updated ...

Hello, when are you planning to travel to Canada, I had my owp approved last 29th June and planning to travel end of this month.
 
We need to apply now. Worried about this 16 week wait time. It is too long of a wait especially after getting a refusal.

Thanks. Thought you were talking about current data. Seems like the percentage working in the offices started increasing a few weeks ago when a lot of processing started again. Still a long way to go.
