In case anybody applied recently... I just called the processing centre and was told the wait is currently 6-12 weeks for them to work through your application. Agent said the 20 business days posted online is wrong. Also, the reason I called to see where I'm standing with my application as I was charged over a month ago and didn't receive a confirmation letter in the mail. Again, agent said the system malfunctioned and did not send out a bunch of mail out.
Paper application: sometime in February
Fee charged: March 20th, 2018
Conditionally approved: April 27th, 2018
Interview/Approved: May 17th, 2018
Card Received: May 31st, 2018
Based on my math, my application took 26 business days.
