FSW 2013 stats
Hey everyone,
Thought you may find this useful: http://goo.gl/fiqrwh
This spreadsheet uses the data from the original spreadsheet to calculate some stats. The data is updated automatically, as far as I know - every hour, so the stats will always be up to date and in line with the data from the original spreadsheet.
This spreadsheet also includes a chart which shows the dependence between the received date and the number of work days until fee.
The number of work days is calculated taking into account a couple of Canadian statutory holidays.
Also, there is a forecast of the fee encashment date for each entry if the fee has not been encashed yet. This forecast is pessimistic and is based on the maximum number of work days it took the CIO to charge the fee so far. Please remember that this is only a forecast and don't get upset if your forecast date is "red" and you still haven't got any news from CIO - your PER may be on its way.
Below is a sample of the chart. We can see clearly that currently it takes CIO 40 to 50 work days to charge the fee. For the early applicants this number has been considerably lower, but it increased later, along with the flow of applications.
For now, the absolute maximum is 51 full work days. On the CIC website it is stated that an applicant should allow 8 to 10 weeks (which amounts to 40 to 50 work days) prior to contacting the CIC regarding the status of the application. From this two facts we could assume that CIO's internal deadline for the first stage (completeness check & fee) is about 50 work days.
Happy waiting!
