Its so annoying that webforms have no respnse either. what is the point of putting the timeline when they can not honour it
I don't think IRCC promised any timeline guarantee.

As per their website (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...vices/application/check-processing-times.html) it mentioned as below

This processing time tells you how long it took us to process most complete applications in the past.

It does not include
  • the time it takes to send an application between a visa application centre and our office
  • the time you need to give your biometrics

Your processing time starts the day we receive your complete application and ends when we make a decision. It may vary depending on how many applications we get or if your application is complex.

Your application may be delayed or returned if it’s not complete.

 
Me and my wife, applied from Malaysia
When we submitted application the processing time was 39 days, last week was 29 days and today I checked, its 27 days.
Most of the PPR requests comes in 3rd or 4th week in Malaysia and some on 37th and 39th day as well. Same goes for rejections, no specific patterns but it could be any day or any date.

Here are the details

Current Status:
  • Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility.
  • We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
  • Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

Based on the date I submitted my application (22 May), the 27 day timeline (as updated recently) suggests I should be receiving an update today (18 June). However, I have yet to receive any notification.

Therefore, I believe it's important for everyone to understand that our applications will likely be processed according to the timeline that was applicable during the week of our submission, not necessarily based on the latest updated timelines.

To everyone waiting, be patient and refer to the processing window that was communicated at the time of your submission. Updates may vary depending on operational backlog and procedural adjustments I believe.
