what is the processing speed now in the west?

[suresure]

East is super fast, especially after Feb 2014,
but in the west, did anyone know whether the speed get increase?
I am waiting for 13 months still no test.

Hi suresure, if I remember correctly from the other thread, your file was in Surrey, just like mine. Surrey office is slow as molasses, not the whole West. Checking the spreadsheet (See below link) of application timelines posted on these forums and looking at the applications filed from August-2013 and on, I see that it takes for the Vancouver applicants average 7 - 8 months from application date to test letter receipt date (Which is pretty fast) and approximately half of these Vancouver applicants have already took the oath. Checking the same spreadsheet for the Surrey applicants you'll see that there are 7 people on the list and only one of them got his test after 20 months. Nearly all other Surrey applicants are still waiting for the test letter for one year or more already.
