Sorry just a quick clarification. Does this mean that even if we get ITA, submit documents and apply, the processing time will be MORE than 6 months right?
If yes then it only sounds reasonable because as it stands, CIC staff are not working and they won't be for a while I guess until this Covid thing blows over.
Anyway, we all must keep hoping for the best but thanks for this info. It automatically means they will continue to issue ITAs but may take longer to process.
Yes - that's what it means. From the time you receive ITA and submit your complete application, you should expect it will take more than six months for your application to be processed.
