I sent my application in December 2016.
It was linked to the online system in March 2017.

No news since then.
Fingers crossed here.

26month processing time.
It's not that simple.
First, this is an average.

Secondly, as far as I know, processing times can vary greatly depending on each case and the country one is applying from.
CIC website used to show* the estimate average times per country. Not anymore. What is showing on the website now is a GLOBAL average, but differences persist because of different sized backlogs per country.

For example, when I applied in December 2016, the processing time was longer than 90 months. That doesn't mean that all applications took that long.
The government is trying to make things faster and more efficient by both making use of the online system and by having most of the processing done in Canada, not in local offices anymore.

*You can check an older version of the website here: http://web.archive.org/web/20151220130704/http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/self-fed.asp

Once the backlog is dealt with, there should be a tendency of an actual average processing time for all countries.

Also, in the past years there have been several cases of Self Employed Visas granted in fewer than 12 months.

So, again, not that simple, bimboajayi.

I believe sharing individual process timelines is really interesting to illustrate what happens in specific cases.

Wow... Why so aggressive?
I don't remember how I did and had to check the form.

This animosity is not going to help.

I'm sorry about your difficulties. I understand it can be really frustrating. And this is a big step/investment for the future.

I had the chance to check my form. I actually had a fixed term deposit so I just filled it.
I got another blank form and you're right, it doesn't accept much. I managed to put "0" on the current balance columns. It seems to be a reasonable solution.

Applications are now processed anywhere not limited to the country of applicant alone ,hence the central processing time line.

Have you read my post?

That's exactly what I'm saying. They've centralized the process. But there are still backlogs (some countries have had a lot more people applying so old cases accumulate). and "Once the backlog is dealt with, there should be a tendency of an actual average processing time for all countries."

We haven't done that, no.

About processing between 13-15 months, it happens, but it can take longer for sure.
