@ drdave,
On here there is more than 10% who had interviews and of them 90% were due to a previois marriage. Your numbers are skewed because you can only track the cases where ppl openly admitted to an interview and trust me most havent. Ive gotten many PMs from members who are going, some have not admitted it on the forum and some are from members who are not posting but rather ghost watching the forum.
Id be prepared for a potential interview. If you are just granted without than perfect.
I agree. This survey is no way scientific and could be highly suspect. I am happy about one thing it does agree with what I saw
on the CIC website before they changed it.
Now they claim that 80% of the applications are done in 6 months.
Before they stated something like
20% in 2 months
50% in 3 months
80% in 6 months
This is what I found
Time # of people Percentage
