It depends on the visa office that will process you application
Ottawa (11 months) - Cairo (25 months) since they receive your complete package.

I don't know any Quebec cases, check elmatareed, they have a Quebec section.
Although it is written LE CAIRE, your federal file may be transferred ot any office based on CIC view on work loads. Recent cases from Egypt were sent to CPC_Ottawa.

What does she/he mean by "I trust the above is to your satisfaction." :) Anyways, it is great news that they responded in such a short period of time :) This is even better than the response time of CPC Ottawa في أوج مجدها :)

I will tell you what I know.

- Canadian visitor visa is one of the "hardest" to get ...
- The key element for approving a visa is to SHOW you have enough income to support your visitor .. means you have been employed in a company for at least 6 months and have proper income.
- For the supervisa, it was on hold for sometime, but now it is open, so I would ask more than one lawyer to get the right information, as if you apply for a visa and got rejected, next time it is harder to get, so better to get it right from the first time.

I am not aware of the details, but I hear you :) I want to bring my parents eventually to Canada (insha'Allah if everything goes well) but I don't think they would like to :) Being away from family is probably one of the hardest things when it comes to immigration :) I mean emotionally :)

Good Morning guys
i found another ECAS update (line 3)
We transferred your application to the Cairo office on August 28, 2014. The Cairo office may contact you.

so seems they changed something in the process or the ECAS update process
also while checking the ECAS there is a label mentioning that its updated on Tuesday's
so seems we will see updates every Tuesday :) hopefully..
