So I was able to login to eCAS today. They sent me the SA letter on March 10 & medical results have been received. So I would recommend you check in again Axxis because if mine are on eCAS that soon, yours should be too...

I don't know about this. I think everything happens at different times depending on who is working on your case. I got my AOR by email on March 8th (Saturday), no change in eCAS until Friday, March 14th (and I check every day). On Friday, it said a decision had been made on March 10th. Got the letter today, woohooo! On eCAS it doesn't say anything about the medicals and I'm not too concerned. I'm prepared for the process to take awhile and when it happens it happens. IMO I think it is better not to contact them because that is only more work for them and it will only slow things down. But it's up to you axxis, but I wouldn't be worried about it yet.

The immigration dataset has been updated.
http://data.gc.ca/data/en/dataset/427337d0-7c36-4fed-8428-c6a63f8c19b3

Last 12 months (October 1 2012 to September 30 2013)

Family Class (Spouses & Partners) 428 persons (361 CORP & 67 refusals)

So, for us who are going through Rome, the times are:
20% - 5 months, 72 persons
30% - 6 months, 36 persons
50% - 8 months, 72 persons
70% - 11 months, 72 persons
80% - 13 months. 36 persons
I don't know if my calculation is right but hope it is...

Thank you for that!!! But I am really bad at math! I don't mean to sound so lost but what is the percentage of? Percentage of time or cases? My guess is we have a good chance of being processed around 8 months time. But is that including or after AOR from Rome? And will they give us an estimate with the AOR?

 

[Canadian_belle1]

Its % of cases so 20% of cases are processed within 5 months, etc.

This includes the wait period for AOR & SA. A realistic estimate is 8-9 months & if it happens sooner, all the better

(X % of cases completed within X months or less) That's what it says... I'm not sure but i think estimated time is for the whole proccess.

We all hope for a fast proccess. Why not in the first 20%...
