Once you win an appeal cic starts the processing time over again. Which means they give themselves another 12 months to complete your application once they have recieve the file back from iad. After you win, your file will first go to ottawa and then be sent back to whatever office was originally handling it. After an officer reviews your file, they will send you an email asking for, generally new police checks, medical and updated forms. I've read it takes 6 to 8 months to complete from here. However we won our appeal in August and are still waiting to hear anything.
