Got two questions:wicaact said:The process to issue you immigrant visa will take 16 months from your submission date.
Once immigrant visa is issued, you need to do permanent resident landing, either at border or at local CIC office, then this 58 days kicks in, that means after you do permanent resident landing, it takes 58 days to process your PR card.
So the entire process will take about 18 months to complete.
To check how long it takes to issue you immigrant visa, you need to select Economic Class->Provincial Nominees->NO(If you are not EE) in processing times page.
1. Have you seen, heard or read (in this forum) of someone who was successfully issued an immigrant visa in 16months or less? I want to belive that CIC won't actually use up 16months ???
2. Can a nomination under the SI international postgraduate be used for EEBC instead?
Thanks
