“October 1, 2008 to September 1, 2009:
Current processing times for the Canadian Experience Class will be available with the next update, in January/February 2010. This will mark 12 months of processing upon which the processing times can be calculated.
”
This text has been present on the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website’s page for processing times for permanent residency applications for well over a year. Supposedly they update every quarter, which is why the 12 months’ worth of information leading to September wouldn’t be published until January/February.
It’s now almost April. Still no-one can tell me how long my application is expected to take, therefore whether I’ll need to have $1000 or $2000 of petty cash to hand within the next month or so (initial application costs $450/person, then $500/person upon acceptance). I’d apply right now, except I can’t pull an extra $1000 out of my pocket inside the next month if the rumours I’ve heard of < 1 month turnarounds being true.
