Standard thing to say. They can't say otherwise or else it would contradict what is mentioned on the website to millions of people. But for sure it's way less.

Dear Octoberers ;)

Don't forget that when they say " current timelines", they mean the time it took to process 80% of the applications in the past year ( or even over a year), so this information gives no indication whatsoever on today's applications, especially with all the structural changes CIC is going through.


As for me, nothing shows on Ecas yet, last time I called CIC, they informed me that they were processing applications received up to october 3rd.

I expect to get some news at the begining of february.

Why don't you give them your client ID; they will give you the exact information about your file. AS I talked they have access to our individual file and can give you specific info.

Thank you for the info. I believe that the processing time will be less than 25 month at STC.

Good luck.

Oh, i did, but as long as the file is not "in process" they don't know much....
when call center knows, it is because E-cas is going to get updated in the following hours....

Sorry, what do you mean by the above?
What I mean is that sometimes, the database used by the Call center is updated before E-cas... but usually it is just a few hours or days before E-cas gets updated and reflects the reality. In my case, the call center can't see my application yet....
