outland is much quicker, even with the long processing times of the phillipines. If you apply outland you will need to independently maintain your legal status in canada as there is no bridging visas for an outland app in process.

If you go inland you will be able to work earlier (4 months) and stay in canada but wont be PR for close to 2 years. Outland will be quicker.

Also, this is a group for april applicants. Your future question may be better answered in the main forum.

I heard from a few applicants that they had their SA sent in the mail when they called the CIC to check. Apparently they're not doing a good job up updating eCAS.

I'm at day 36 now, so let's hope I get mine any day now! I will call on Monday if I don't hear or see anything.

I have little trust in this changed processing time. How is that possible if there are still people out there waiting for it for 50 days already?

37 days is still only an average. There are still going to be people who unfortunately end up having their SA take much longer. Those people are normally still in the minority. It's also possible that many of the applicants from the last week of March already have their SA and don't know it yet (SA sent via snail mail, eCAS not updated, etc).

Yeah its pretty strange how it goes down when there are so many people waiting.

Must remember though that only a fraction of applicants use this website.
