I would like to know if there are any applications who applied in the same period and have already received an answer from CIC Canada.

APPLIED- On last week September 2013.
RECEIVED BY CIC- September 30, 2013
(Sent application to Vegreville, Alberta)
CIC sent a letter saying that they moved my application to CIC Mississaugua- March 7, 2014

Hi ,
I am a September 2013 applicant. My husband and I applied inland on September 30, 2013. We sent it to Vegreville and Sent to Mississagua on March 7, 2014.
Today, I checked my Ecas (I am the sponsor and didn't know that sponsors receive their own Ecas profile) and it says that our application is been in process October 21, 2013, while in my Husband's Ecas it says Application Received.
I would like to know if it is normal for an application to be in process that long ( just over a year). Why is it taking this long?? We sent a work permit along with our application and our lawyer have told us That we are are not eligible for the OWP pilot program.
I would appreciate any insights from you.
