I know that some people got their SS done within 3 months length, but I also know that some other people took more than 1 year. It really depends on the case. I was told by CIC call agent that the time to get it done is actually dependent on how easily CBSA's partners can get our background information verified and cleaned. The normal length of time would be 3-12 month, and I see most of cases are done about 6-10months. Mine is almost 10 months since it's been sent to CBSA for SS. What we can do is just to keep our hope alive!
