What does this number mean?

1

It looks back, not forward

IRCC's figure is how long it took to decide 8 in 10 of the applications of this kind that it finished recently. The other 2 in 10 took longer.

2

The clock starts with a complete application

It counts from the day IRCC had a complete application to the day it made a decision.

3

It changes often

IRCC revises the figure regularly, usually every week. A single application can be faster or slower.
