The speed of the application highly depends on the sufficiency information you have provided to them. I submitted my application for my spouse on Jan 15, 2016. Then, she came to Canada as a visitor. In March, she was asked to provide the criminal check record so she flew back to HK. In early June, she had received the permanent residence approval. Good Luck!
The passport request shall be sent to you by email. I believe the days they require the passport is within 30 days (do not know if it varies for each applicant). Your girlfriend can still come to Canada as a "visitor" before she gets the letter for passport request. She will be allowed to stay for 6 months. If she decided to come as a visitor, make sure she has the return ticket to avoid suspicion that she will not leave Canada.
Hi all, I have a question. Say I get DM now and requested to send passport in 30 days. However, I need to go to other countries in this month, so i need my passport. Can I ask for extending the deadline to send my passport later? Many thanks for help!!
Thanks for the answer. I have another question. When my girl friend gets "passport request" , does she actually have to send her passport? or just a photocopy? I read that HK is visa exempt country so you don't need to send the actual passport. I just want to confirm. If you know, please let me know.
Thanks!

As I recall, the passport shall just be a photocopy (if nothing changes). They will provide you instruction to submit.
HK is a visa exempt country; however, you still require ETA to enter Canada if you are still waiting for the PR status.
The ETA can be applied online and it is valid for 5 years if approved (in experience, all my relatives visit me does not have problem to get the ETA). It is highly recommended that you print out the confirmation of the ETA (with numbers) if you need to travel by air. The Custom should be able to track your record when you arrive anyway.
