Thanks emanager
I should mention the time lines too. I got nominated in Dec 2013 and submitted my federal file in Feb 2014 and got file number 11th march 2014. Don't know how long federal gonna take to process the file. Anyone have any idea?
Sujwal is right about the unpredictability of Federal processing time as it changes so very frequently and varies by country.
There are 3 parts to the post-province nomination:
1. CIO, NS -(initial review of docs, before forwarding to local visa office): This was initially 58 days but has since reduced to 35 days from looking some tracksheets on this site.
2. Received by Visa Office and Medicals issued - This is a function of the workings of that office. Mine (Accra, Ghana) is between 20 and 30 days.
3. Visa Office Again, between Medicals and PPR - Now this was about about 6 months early last year but I see that it now varies between 6 weeks and 15 weeks.
All this info is from looking at tracksheets/comments of those that have gone ahead of us
