UPDATED AVERAGE PROCESSING TIMES !!!!!!

[sraj07]

so far , anyone tweeted them ?

Changing process is at discretion to cic but the real question is why has the processing time increased, if at all it has.

Could this be the safety net to cater the continuious inflow of queries &applications, ease the deadline, buy time to thoroughly check the applications, avoid fake ones slip through the cracks. Could it be because they tend to make bigger draws? Who knows what other surprise does the cic hold for this year..

Call center representatives have been known to be wrong/wildly inaccurate/unsparingly inefficient more often than not. There is still hope that things aren't as bad as the links make it sound. Let's wait for CIC to make this official somewhere before getting all despondent.

I agree with you but unfortunately I cannot reflect the tone that agent used and the way he built up to it....it was evident that it seems he has been prepared and followed a certain flow to lead to this.... just to let me know that there is no point checking on application status anytime soon... he even refused to check if my file has been transfered to local VO... I think i will order GCMS notes on Monday and see what they say once I receive them....

If this is true then they should rename the system to delayed entry or something....

Keep calm folks. No official changes to EE processing times. I am 100% sure this is a glitch. My take: Don't panic. Grab a towel.

I just made a call, and the agent told me it is an error after re-confirming and she said it will be corrected soon!

The time is still 6 months

If you read through the page, you'll notice this update made on 21st Jan 2016:

Last update: January 21, 2016 Updated weekly

Since Express Entry is a new system and not enough applications have been received yet, processing times are not available but we have committed to process the majority of applications in six months or less.

I am not too sure what CIC's definition of 'majority' is, but the update clearly states the processing time is still 6 months.

These processing times only apply to the federal part of the processing (at the visa office) once we have received the complete application. It does not include the time it takes for the province or territory to process the nomination certificate.

Processing times tell you how long it took Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to process applications in the past after receiving a complete application package. Processing times can vary, depending on how many applications CIC receives. Your application may be delayed if it’s not complete.

If it has been longer than the time shown since you applied, and you need more information concerning the status of your application, use the Case Specific Enquiry form.

The processing times on that Page is just an estimation of the average cases they process. It seems they extrapolate all data they got, and it gave them 15 months somehow. It is not meant to give an idea about intentions. It is just calculations.

Hi all,

Can you post the exact link where the change in time-line is posted ?

If I check the here-above mentionned link and choose :
- PR CARD \ New then the answer is 100 days
- Economic Class \ Federal Skilled Worker via Express Entry then the answer is 6 months

I don't see any reference to the 15 months timeline.

Thanks,

You won't see the timeline as 15mths anymore - it was a glitch in their system and has now been fixed
