Don’t know if this applies to every province but in Ontario, I have heard that Jan intake will be pretty much online/remote. So all the pending applications either for Fall or for Winters doesn’t need to be expedited.
IRCC is taking as much time as possible because for them, there’s no pressure, things are pretty much under control. Right now they are processing SDS applications which were submitted in the month of July. processing time per app is reduced to 15 weeks now.
If the trend continues like that then I would have the decision by the end of this month.

How do you know that they are processing July application? And yes Jan intake will be online as well, but aren’t they supposed to finish Fall intake first? Will they finish before December?
