Hi:

That's not right. If you go back to the CIC site, they wrote: (Processing Times IN MONTHS

(based on a complete application package).
So, starting from the date you sent your full documents.

Thank you.

 

[parry1901]

In that case.. i would be lucky.. as i had to wait 5 mths for 2nd aor... after docs reached london...

i hope this new processing time will be true and correct so that we can all move on with our lives...

Actually I feel that is a good sign in comparison with some inquiry answer published in this forum talking about 2 years more to process pre June application.

Agree with MOnbe.

The reply by CHC saying that the processing might take more than 2 years gave shivers. But the updated table on CIC website gave a little bit of relief. Hopefully they will stick to this table atleast...

The timing of 16 months should be counted from the date we have sent our full application docket to CHC and not the second AOR.

All the best guys

Hi:
My question now is:

I sent my full doc on 23th of May 2010,to London office. Now, it's one year since that date. According to the new processing times for London;16 Mons, I have more 4 months to get the visa on my passport. Is that possible?? Will they finalize it in 4 months only??? please answer.

Thank you

Louay,

In my opinion its appears highly unlikely. Given the track record of London office it should take longer than expected. One more thing the timetable depicted on CIC website quotes cases finalised and do not predict about future timings.

all the best

AOR= Aknowledgement of Receipt.
You can say AOR a File number.

The CIC London processing time looks skeptical. i don't think they would manage to finish the cases between 16 months.
