I filed a year ago & thought I would have heard now or hope to hear soon. I see from others that it's been taking 2 years or more. I also just checked on the cic site for the processing time for the regions (more specifically, it states for processing from Buffalo office in US) that 30% of cases are processed in 9 mos, 50% in 15 mos & so on ( http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/times-int/01-all.html ). Has anyone really been processed in any of those faster time frames? Since those statistics are actual & updated every quarter it does give some hope...right? :?
