Thanks Mate. I can totally understand your frustration. Did you order new GCMS ? If not, do it now. I can get you a fair idea about your application and status through GCMS. Also, on the previous one .. did it say RFV ( Ready for Visa ? )darphil said:

There are quite a few officers involved in processing applications, as well as quite a few countries. When you apply, they may need to work with the visa office responsible for your home country, and they have variable processing times. This is a function of how large their staff is, the number of immigrants from your country, and their case load.darphil said:
Next, you have the various checks that have to be performed. Some countries give Canada significant access to their criminal database, while others have a largely manual process. Some countries have a centralized, computerized criminal history (like the US), while other countries handle criminal history much more locally. Some are instantaneous and computer-based, some are manual and paper-based. Some are automatic, others are manual, and where it's manual, some countries handle them quickly and some handle them slowly.
There's also the issue of language. While officially everything is in English, they do have agents with experience in language and fraud for various countries. They can look over documents, make calls to employers, schools, etc. These agents have a limited amount of time, and time zone differences can complicate things.
On top of that, the government of Canada has risk-based screening. There are things that can flag you for further review. For example, you might have a similar name to someone on a criminal history record. To be sure that your criminal history report is valid, they may need to go to the original court and have the records sent, which can be a slow process. They then have to ensure that the person in the criminal history record is not you.
You might also have lived in an area that has a high history of fraud, or gone to a school or worked for an employer that they have had issues with in the past. If that's the case, you can get flagged, and your application will sit there and wait until a specialist can take a look at it. This specialist might manually approve it, or might start looking at LinkedIn/Facebook, or verifying letters by calling former employers and asking questions. If you are a developer (for example), they might want someone with experience in software development to call, in order to ask the employer the right kind of questions. If the employer doesn't answer the phone, they might send a letter.
There are all kinds of reasons for variability, and even if you do everything right, they might just get a large influx of refugees tying up the agents you need to continue.

My update:
After the famous disregard ppr email, i received a letter on december 4 saying that they are "almost ready" to issue my copr and visa but that they needed another document. I sent it two days later by many means since there was no way or space to upload it in MYCIC :-X go figure. I also sent it by email to the famous ppr email address I got just to make sure. They replied next day saying that they received the document and that it is forwarded for processing. Good, no? nope...after that nothing....I sent the document again five times by CSE all through the month of december and sent 4 technical issues, and a couple of other email just as far back as yesterday to reiterate that I sent what was asked of me. I called the CIC centre two weeks ago, and the guys tells me, without looking at my application, that I shouldn't worry and that they haven't made a decision yet probably and still processing (since august 19, 2015 by the way). Wrong again. Today I managed to call the call center again and this time the agent accessed my application and after I told him what happened: Yes, they received your document and are reviewing it (still) and then he asked: when was the last time you called? I said two weeks ago. He said " if you don't hear back from us by April 1, 2016" you can call again :-\ And all I can say right now is halluluieh... so darphil my friend...you are not alone. Me too I passed the frustration point. It seems that we both are of a particular breed. :'(
