Based on the fact they claim 80% of applications take 18 months and 20% are either faster or slower I'd say they're probably the minority.
18 Months from January would be July. I sure hope I'm wrong though.

It depends in the background check mainly, if you are from a country that is "dangerous" and if you are inland or outland.
If you are inland applicant and you are not from a place with high risk it takes 16 months, if you do then it takes 18 or more also if you include a member then even more
Just FYI that the 18 month processing time in Base on AOR, not the date that CIC receive your application. And different applicant processing time varies by the background check. So actually Date Receive your application means nothing, you could just check your AOR. Some Nov,dec 2016 applicant have same AOR date with Jan 2017 applicant.
Hello there, do you have any official source for this information? Thanks in advance
The CIC says it's counted from the time of application received, not AOR.
"These processing times only apply to the federal part of the processing (at the visa office) once we have received the complete application."

Hello bro, This info was told my CIC representative that I called them before. And in addtion, AOR mean that "the date CIC start processing your application"
We calculate processing times from the day we receive an application to the day it makes a decision on the application.
