November 10 – DATASET UPDATED

The dataset was updated with recent timelines and now includes 260 cases (rows).
First of all, CIC now process significantly more applications then 2 months ago. See below:

Category
# Processed applications per day[br](2 months ago)
# Processed applications per day (now)
CEC
0.63​
0.73​
FSWP Inside
0.39​
0.66​
FSWP Outside
0.49​
0.62​

I think CIC is cleaning backlog with PR applications from 2014 and earlier and moving officers to work with the new system so in the end more applications under EE are processed.
But even though number of processed application has grown, average processing times has also grown:

Category
Average processing time[br]2 months ago, days
Average processing time now, days
CEC
106​
102​
FSWP Inside
110​
130​
FSWP Outside
88​
108​

I have no idea why processing times has grown but the most obvious reason should be backlog (as usual).
Now because processing time has grown there were applications that were processed in more than 6 months. There is not a lot of them but if the trend will be prevailing there will be more soon.



Please note that nothing except the data set was changed. Calculator itself is still the same. I wanted to do more significant changes like replacing some tables and adding PNP and FST applicants but unfortunately forum permissions do not allow me to modify first post. So even if I do the updates there is no way I can notify people that functionality/look has changed. This will just bring confusion. I am not even able to modify first post in the topic to let users know that dataset was updated :(
Great job!

Thanks again tidelander, of all the people trying to predict a lot of stuff, your work with real data and persistence with updating it is great.

Please advise if you are collecting data in some way and we would keep sharing.

One good source is spreadsheets of applications which are shared on forums on a monthly basis. Usually some one starts a thread and a spreadsheet and it keeps going on.

There is one for september as well as for oct. But oct ones haven't gotten many PPRs yet (except 4/5 exceptional ones) and sept isn't mostly updated.

Topics with spreadsheets are really good because then it's easy for me to collect data. But not all of them have spreadsheets. For example, May applicants did not have it so I had to read manually through 150 pages. Also once the person who was maintaining the spreadsheet gets PPR he/she stops further maintenance and after this it's manual data harvesting again. There is also Rejections thread were no spreadsheet is kept so it's only manual reading.
In the end it's not that straightforward.
I've already spent around 50 hours developing this calculator and updating it and this was the last update. I will not do any further updates.
However, if there is someone who could do data harvesting (all the dirty job) then I will help with an update.

ECAS Decison Made in the report stands for the date when your ECAS changed to Decision Made and shows how much time you have to wait before receiving PPR email.

If the work exp was gained in the past 10 years and the work was paid and under noc 0,A or B, then yes, you can claim 5 years! I assume your wife is the PA because if not, then her work exp won't count if the work exp was gained out of Canada!!!
