You are a dear friend :).

Any chance you know how to reach Ms Sophie? Have an "in" you can leverage?? ;)
Go to the 2015 post---she started that feed...but it's about just having people "guess" when they'll get DM, not a likely add as it's not very relevant. Maybe explain more what you are looking to have, I don't think I'm fully understanding. Sophie isn't as active anymore.

really hoping. ...ever since I noticed my MyCIC and Ecas updated on Friday for Medical, I've been checking more than once a day. I think it may have updated due to my relentless asking of why it hadn't been looked at since 7.5 months had passed.
I really wish I knew how many NOT on the spreadsheet are actually done for Sept-Nov (out of the total spousal pool)....more and more Oct and Nov that were skipped are already getting news now.
Also how many didn't report dm or landing.

That said, it's coming my dear! It's literally right there....

Friendly guessing for the DM date... that's all.

I just realized the gymmic. If they keep this up, they can have proof that they brought the times down. For us it will be 13.5 mos. That helps them skew their stats for the punters and the applicants.

Smart...

MANY! I've been spending extra time on that sheet the past week--mainly for 2015 now. So many (even from this forum) are not updating their info...I've been x-ing out those who are no longer active--shortly after reporting DM---and forgetting the Landing part. Some, just not sure on--so leaving for now. I know this forum has input as well as the facebook groups....just hard to always keep up on them.

Look at the spreadsheet---we have some who got it in 4.4 months...others still waiting from early 2013. Avg. overall is still the 16-18 months. Every year the do a bunch ahead of others---i'm sure it's to help them look better.

Your tireless work is so very appreciated. Thank you, simpsol.

This year, if they stick to my math, they will flush all of 2015, all of 2016 (<16mos) and most of 2017 (<12mos). So they'll be able to annouce a new average that's considerably less time than 26mos for actual processing times..

Yeah, that probably won't fly. Not enough would use it and it's not actual data. We can add an average estimated line on the stats page...but to add a column the apps spreadsheets is not likely.

We are 190 days from the present "August 25 2015" date they announce on the automated attendant. So, that's 27.143 wks. 27.143 / 2 = 13.5715. Add that to today's date, and I am guessing my wife will be done on or before Monday April 24 2017.
I'm a few weeks after you so that would be awesome! I'm still waiting for the medical to pass and for the ROPF request and possibly SA/AIP.

Canada Spousal Sponsorship Petitioners is one of the more active in my opinion--also may happen to be an Admin in it. :)
