Hi,
I am currently in Canada and applied for my wife's SOWP on October 19th 2015 at New Delhi office.
Still haven't heard from CIC as yet. We had also submitted our e-medical report to save time.

I have also filled the case specific enquiry form but it says it will take 28 "working days" for a reply. Really ridiculous.

have u done it in online or through vfs?

Did you get a reply for your CSE??

Since you are in india, mainly processing time from there would apply.

It is true that CIC has now (since Jan 2016) made it independent of visa office and would try to load balance application processing. Still that is not in individual applicant's control, plus they have had back logs of applications submitted before 2016. So it could take any where between 2-4 months to get it processed.

You might wanna speed up the application by getting medicals done and submit along.

Other than that, there is nothing much you could do except waiting.

Try to withdraw your application and apply through VFS (Paper). The current processing time is 2 month for paper application.

Applicants from 2015 are still waiting . I don't understand how they are processing the applications...
they don't even reply for CSE.

Then you should call and ask CIC whatever is the update for your application. Because it has already passed the processing time.
