Thanks for the stats wifedoctor. So my AOR is June . Based on the average I should expect October 20th . However I haven't received DM yet .
Aww the waiting is terrible . Cant leave the country . Anxious I might not get a positive result.
Why, why why is it taking so long ?

Disagree. Not all outland apps are processed at Ottawa, some are actually processed at their local VO's. Furthermore those outland FSW applicants whose applications are processed at Ottawa have the same timeline as inland FSW. Take me an outlander for example and a few others, my app is being processed at Ottawa and I've been waiting for a decision since May 08.
OK, taking my words back then. Good luck Anya, btw! Looks like you'll get your DM/PPR in few days...

I really thought I would be done in September. Like landing and all.
I am very disappointed, and speechless, this is unfair and completely haphazardous.

Now I feel 6 months is the best case scenario.

I know whining won't speed up the process, but just wanted to commiserate lol
I have been very patient with the process before today but I am very angry at the moment. I have just seen people who had ITA after my AOR get PPR. That is the heights of it. To also notice that they have intentionally stalled FSW stream also makes me more angry. I mean, some people were qualified for both CEC and FSW but got FSW ITA, whose fault is that? Just not happy at all.

Why do you think that CIC has intentionally stalled FSW stream?

I have been left to assume that because I haven't seen any serious movements in about 2.5 months especially for applications treated in Ottawa.

Great summarization. Except that your days calculation from AOR to PPR might be a bit misleading. I believe it is based on those who have already received PPR and not taking into account people like me and many others who are at around 140-150 days, with 40% of them still not even DM (according to your stat below).

But ya those who got PPR in the last 2-3 days, all seem to be CEC. Hoping for a FSW PPR batch by Friday

I am very scared and would like urgent help, please:

I am thinking of withdrawing my application. This is why:

In order not to provide employment reference for spouse, I just answered "No" to the question " does X have work experience?" Although I listed all my spouse work experience in the personal history section and noted it in my LOE, I am still afraid that the "No" might be construed as misrepresentation.

Please, offer any advise you can as I'm on the verge of withdrawing my application.

To those applying with your spouse, how did you handle that part?

Thanks

Guys, probably a stupid question and have been discussed before. I have applied in July and now the status is in process. If I apply for US visa and get rejected (or approved) while my application is in process, should I inform CIC about the rejection (approval)? Thanks.

As you know anything you add there will count towards point and as well as you have to show the reference letters. I have done for samething for my wife and include her work experiences in the personal history. Also, in the past I have worked in five companies. I have included only my latest job and provided reference letter for current alone. For the rest I have included the personal history. To answer your question, to me there is no misrepresentation as you have included in personal history and for CIC they know that you don't want claim points or you couldn't get reference letters for them.

does ECAS statements have the same wording for every one? i have 3 lines since 4 months which are

1) We received your application for permanent residence on June 12, 2015.
2) We started processing your application on June 16, 2015.
3) Medical results have been received.
