Are these only self-requested ICES requests, or does it include requests from CIC as well, since latest CIC application form includes a checkbox authorizing such requests?

Also, I requested my CBSA report without getting an RQ, as a preemptive step, as part of my initial application. I wonder how many people did that as well.

This should include requests by CIC, but newer figures may make it more difficult to correlate with RQ numbers because CBSA consent is in citizenship application from itself since at least October 2012 and we don't know a policy of invoking such requests.

And yes, I too requested CBSA w/o having RQ, but likely it's a minority of requests.

I have to confirm by looking at my request wording, but my gut feeling is that they count privacy requests coming into ATIP dept (the ones that get an individual tracking number), meaning that batch requests under "CBSA consent" regime will likely either register as 1 request for many applicants, or won't register at all in this stats (if they built an automated feed or something like that).

The data in this article is a bit old.  Look at http://residencequestionnaire.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/cic_rq_delays_apr2013.pdf  for the script call centre personnel are using to answer calls.  The last page contains current processing times ---avg. 35 months. 

Vast and useful information at this site, including RQ numbers for the various offices.  BC Itinerant services for example issued ONE from 4/12-10/12, then 200 from 10/12-4/13.  http://residencequestionnaire.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/rq_stats_apr2013.pdf

OOPS!  I see this info is previously posted, but it bears repeating that there's a wealth of information out there and I suppose cross-posting is not a bad thing given that not everyone is alerted to a particular thread at the very beginning and that the more knowledgeable as a group we become, the better able to understand the system and assimilate its relevance to our own situations.  Thanks, Akella and Eileen for much useful information and for making it available, and of course depenabill for helping to interpret.

The Canadian government has launched a new site
data.gc.ca
It should contain all the latest statistics.
