On the CIC website when you check the application proceesing times, it says:
There are two steps in processing family sponsorship applications. In order to know the total approximate time it may take for your application to be processed, ADD the time in step 1 to the time in step 2 (the two steps are consecutive)
cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp
As you may see Step 1 takes about 53months to complete and currently they are working on september 2007 applications.
I applied in December 2009 and as far as my knowledge goes all of 2008 applicants have recieved the request for additional documents. So how long will it take me to get the same letter and what is actually meant by step 1 processing time of 53 months?
