For the processing times, I suggest you double check them by visiting the website of the embassy you are apply at.
For instance, i want to apply at paris, see the following links, the avg processing time varies 20 months ! .

Thanks eyad and longwait
Why processing time is so lengthy ,obviosly tiring and frustrating ?.
I read in this forum that it might be due to shortage of staff.
but I do'nt agree. Do CIC has no resources to depute required manpower .
50- 60 months a veryyyyyyyyyy long period . Status of the majority would be changed during the processing time.

50-60 months is not such a long time when you think about the long term. The only reason that the CIC take their time when it comes to the immigration process is because they are short in "man power" plus the workers are working under union so you cannot really expect from them for much.

sunasir,
one can apply to a cic centre responsible for country of citizenship or residency. eg. an Indian national in USA can apply to New Delhi but would prefer to apply at Buffalo. Or a Korean national resident in France can apply to Paris but would prefer to apply at Seoul.

regarding wait times, i don't think its anything to do with manpower. cic obviously has a set policy on preferred diversity of immigrants. If all centres had same processing times, then with number of applicants so large in some countries, the share of immigrants from these regions would be disproportionately high. bear in mind, the share of asians is already high by design. but still not as high as the proportion of applicants from the region.

everyone may not think that its fair, but that is something you have to accept.

you are right but SIP may reduce some time because cic asks for documents at near to I.A . Let's see.

I was going through the thread for Simplified process but did not find this link hence I am posting it here:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/applications/faq-simple.html

These are FAQs on Simplified Process.

Hope it resolves most of our queries.

Personally, my query was resolved with the statement below:

Can a foreigner living in the United States who has legal status submit a simplified application?

No. Since Buffalo continues to use the regular application process, American citizens and other residents of the United States must submit a full application to our visa office in Buffalo, which will then forward it to the visa office closest to the applicant’s residence.

Regards,
MM



I wonder how one can get his question into the CIC FAQ list? My question would be:

Is Police clearance certificate valid if it was issued shortly AFTER I submitted the Simplified Application?

hello everyone, I am an Indian and am planning to apply for Canadian Immigration at New Delhi, India. But I would soon be moving to the US for higher studies.
1. If I apply for Immigration at new delhi office then can I shift my file to the Buffalo office in US after a stay of an year in the US?
2. I am planning to apply myself, without an agent, is it ok?
3. After an year of stay in US, where do I apply for file transfer- Buffalo or New Delhi?
Thank You

1. Xfering file is at the discretion of CIC. You can only request a file Xfer but not guaranteed..If they dont xfer your file, either U will have to wait for 6 years at Delhi or withdraw your appln from Delhi & apply thru Buffalo.. To apply from USA, you need to be legally "admitted" to USA for at least 1 year not necessary to be "resided" for 1 year.. So, you are eligible to apply for Canadian PR from USA, on the very same day you land in USA, provided you r permitted to stay for at least 1 year (stamp in I-94).
2. YES. you can apply by yourself.
3. You have to write whatever you want, to that cic wherever you have "applied"
My suggestion: Get to USA for studies or whatever. Come well prepared with all reqd docs for Canadian PR appln. Apply thru Buffalo, as soon as you reach USA.. Its the BEST way since processing times are 1.5-2 years in Buffalo compared to 6 years at Delhi.
Good Luck
RS

Hi,
I am planning to submit an applicaion for PR in London. I am awaiting a job offer which might take upto 4-6 months.
1. What is the processing time in canada so that I can come there in work permit and apply for PR from there
2. If I apply in london is it possible to ammend the job offer to it once it comes through
3. Will I be able to transfer the files if I happen to go to canada on workpermit before the PR comes through.
Anyone wh is aware please advice as the cic website gives processing times only for offices abroad
