It has been raised to 7 years officially. But again official processing times for spouse are 16months and we are seeing so many delays so you can imagine yourself for skilled workers.

Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

I sincerely doubt that is true. The background checks of Pakistanis alone take so much time. It may have happened for a few people in certain professions desperately needed in Canada. But for most it is very very long.

I hope the following information will help some of you.

Mine was a Husband Case

I am a Canadian Citizen and I have a daughter from this wedlock who is also a Canadian Citizen

My Case started processing in Islamabad in June 2009.

I was in Pakistan when i applied for my husband's immigration therefore the embassy sent me a letter in October 2009 asking me to prove that i will re-establish in Canada once my husband gets his immigration.

We provided the information to the embassy and in Jan 2010 i received another letter from the embassy for Medical.

In May 2010 i received a letter from the embassy for Police Certificate and supplementary forms

After that i did not hear anything from the embassy till February 2011 - Every time i wrote to the embassy i was told that my case is in background checks.

I received 3 letters in February 2011 1: I got a request for submission of police certificate along with 5 forms that i had previously filled aswell including the Schedule 1

15 days later we got a re-medical request

9 days later we received the PPR

In all the AOR's sen to ppl, it states that it will take 9 months on average to process the case but it is not true, if you go on their website and check-out the application processing times it says 16 months on average and it takes more that in routine but i must say in 5% of cases, the whole procedure does take 9 months only... So, it depends from case to case. And generally it is seen that husband cases take more time to be processed than wife one

But about them contacting you regarding your application, they contact you only if something is missing from your application or if they require you to submit some additional documents, it varies from case to case.
