ok just today I checked the processing times for majority of the countries and found that IRCC has reduced the processing times for most of them.

Some countries dropped by 7 months, other 5 months.
Looks like Canadian government is reducing the processing time and I believe after Canada day which is JULY 1 THEY ARE GOING TO REDUCE MORE... Good luck to everyone.

Well, anecdotally, processing times have decreased even more for US applicants. The fastest last year was about 3-4 months, this year people are getting through in a month.

The processing times on the website mean little anyways. For most, it's not an accurate reflection of how long their individual applications will take.
