do you already know what your VO is ?
I am only guessing so far, that i will be under Vienna Office, and I cannot find much info about that Office and EE immigrants here (there is only family section info about that Office).

When i was living in Germany - colleagues of my (2) were migrating to Canada (PNP-Outland, SINP) they got their PPRs quite quickly, as far as i know Vienna office was processing their cases (I dont want to lie, as i am not 100% sure - but thats my understanding).

That is correct, Germany also belongs under Vienna Office. Thanks a lot for your info.

So far the people that i've talked to who had experiences with Beirut VO have told me that their applications took much more than 6 months.
Very worrying for me

Join the club! SPVO (SÃO PAULO) is also notoriously slow... The last PPR they issued the candidate and family had to redo their medicals as it took over 12 months... :(

You know, there is Carnival time, then all siestas are must and of course Easter and summer holiday. Then you have halloween, thanksgiving day and x-mass and with some other small Canadian holidays in it a year can pass before they issue a COPR.

Guys, any idea how fast Tel Aviv visa office is? On this forum I only found info about family sponsorship in Tel Aviv VO, no info on express entry applicants.

From what I see, that Office is just for 1 country (which not very big), so by best guess it should be rather fast. But then again what we do not know if those offices have also something like waiting queue once applicant is practicaly approved (or some kind of monthly quota).

the worst so far (from 6+ months thread) is Singapur.

Someone knows for Mexico vo? They take long to complete the process?
I'm guessing my VO will be Mexico as well and I havent been able to find too much info... i was checking the Tracker for past months and found about two cases, and both were processed in about 5.5 months, so I'm guessing their processing time is average. I'm not expecting a super fast processing time.
Check out this case/timeline: https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application/cases/case-12757

Thanks for your opinion! I also know that PNP applicants from Israel are for some reason processed in Rome VO. Only those who got direct ITAs are processed in Tel Aviv. Meaning even fewer applicants

How big or small the VO is or how many countries it processes doesn't seem to have any significant effect on the processing time.
It really depends mostly on the security checks. Beirut VO only processes for Lebanese applicants and it appears to take a while (here's for hoping they prove me wrong)

Alright, I shall expect similar changes to my account soon as well.

Do you have Canadian education/work experience/CEC? Perhaps that's why we have "In Progress" soon after passing medical.
