Good morning to you all,
please I need clarification on the processing time...
when I checked it says 14 months including 47 days of sponsor assessment though my sponsor approval took 5 months which I Dont know why...
I emailed the MP of my city to help inquire about the delay to my application as its 9 months now since we applied in November 23, 2015 this is d email I received from her office that shocked me....

Applications go through a few steps:

First step is approval of the application. Your application was approved April 2016.

Second step is processing of the application. That takes approximately 14 months. ‎That's the most recent time line quoted us from CIC when we called to inquire about your case. So that is how I got the June 2017 date.

When the application first arrived isn't taken into account, due to the huge backlog to intake the file and get it to the approval stage.

I know this is not the information you want to hear. But you are in the processing stage so things seem to be on track.

please can anyone interprete this for me,
thank you all as you do

From my opinion, ur application is still on track, the delay in the first stage which took 5months MAY HAVE been due to the bringing in of Syria refugees, few months back, which delayed other application types .

So far your application is going on fine, you need to excesses a lot of patient at this time so putting on your patient garment :) :).
Most time you might not get any comm from cic/avo for about 3-4 months, just stay cool and best of luck, it will surely end praise.

I'm asking a question based on the responses Samola received. Does it mean Avo is no more processing on an average of 9 months. Secondly, doesn't the 9 month average count starts from month of which application was filled?

One thing I have learned is contacting MP does not speed up applications and the response you get from them is something the applicant already knows. The 9 months estimate is from the day application was received, as you can see from the timeline of those who got their visas. I disagree with the response Samola received. The CIC call center people will not give the MP office specific info, and at worst the call center gives wrong information. Also note that AVO is very unpredictable, and that's why there is disparity in processing time on this thread. My advise, we should all continue to pray and wait.

From CIC website:

How are processing times calculated?
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) calculates processing times from the day CIC receives an application to the day it makes a decision on the application.
