Subject: How long does it take to get the visa?
  Hello there, I´m a young professional from Venezuela looking for better oportunities abroad. I read about the Skilled worker visa and I got really interested in going to Canada, specially Vancouver or BC that is, since I went there a couple of years ago and fell in love with the place. (Is that a good place to go, btw, or should I choose another one?)

I was wondering how long does it usually take from the time you send your application until you get your visa. I know it´s a very long wait but I´d like to have some numbers or something to know what awaits me.

Thanks in advance!
Cheers.

www.cic.gc.ca - start here. there is lots of great information. every country/embassy has a different wait time. depending on your skills, there may be some opportunities for a work permit or nominee program that could get you to Canada quicker.

The first thing to learn in this process is that there is nothing quick about Canadian immigration.

I agree with Sharon, we are past that golden period where
the PR used to take only 1-2 years. Now it ranges anywhere
between 2-6 years depending upon the embassy the application is being processed at.
