Subject: How long does it really take currently?
  Hi,

I am andy and I have applied for the imigration to Canada in January.

I a currently in USA and my pplication is being processed by the buffalo office.

How long does it really take if all is well. My agent tells me that the current TAT has gone up to about 14-18 months from the earlier 9-12 months.

Could someone who has recently got a visa or heard from the CHC about a positive confirmation of the visa please let me know.

I need to know an approximate time since i need to plan for the next few months which I am unable to do as of now.

Please reply.

Regards
Andy

It took me exactly 18 months. But we had to do aditional
medical exams since my husband have some medical condition.
So that delay a little bit the proccess.
Otherwise I think it would take 12 months like somebody I knew that applied at the same time I did.
We landed a month ago.

Hope this help.

It´s been 2.5 years since I´ve applied at Buffalo, and I´m still waiting for an interview date. The background check alone took them 18 months. Maybe you will be luckier, but don´t expect to have your case finalised in at least 1.5-2 years. Good luck
