The stage one processing time is calculated on calender days starting from the date a complete application is received. The CIC is currently opening applications that were received on Nov 9th, some of which will undoubtedly be incomplete. Those are set aside and not included in the calculation of the 55 day processing time that they have posted for the activity of the past week.shekinah said:I'm just wondering I think there's a mistake with this 55 days on the 1st stage. If they are working on application received on Nov. 9 and the page was updated Jan. 16 then it should be 67 days (more or less).
Before, this # of days in the 1st stage was accurate with the date they are working on and the date the page was updated.
When anxiously waiting for your Stage 1 application to come up, just watch the "Working on applications received on;".
The two calculations appear not to match due to those incomplete applications.
