I saw that processing time has gone up to 28 months. My application was received beg of July. So is it 28 months for my application, or for people who apply now?
 
Unfortunately, the processing time is the same for everybody. So your processing time might vary and can go up/down in time. This is almost 30 months now, so ridiculously unnecessary.

That sucks! I thought because I applied in July it might only be 23 months. I would withdraw but I just got a job on my OWP that I love.
I hope the time goes back down :( what was the process of time when you applied?

Yep, we were on the same boat. I can't remember exactly what the processing times were when we applied but I believe it was about 22-26 months.
We got really lucky and got processed within a year. We weren't asked for any additional docs either which usually delays the process for about 3 months.

On that note, when I became a PR the processing time for receiving the card was 41 days. I landed in September. Still no card. CIC just extends the processing times to 71 days now and gives the Card Processing Centre a lifelong extension of application. :o >:( :o >:(

I hope we get processed as quick as possible, as does everyone!!
