Hi all.
I am very excited to find this forum as I am encountering a few vague point in my application.
I have just been nominated by the province of Nova Soctia to submit application to CIC for PR.
I went through International Graduate Stream and I a dying to know answers for following questions:

1.How long does it take for CIC to process the approved PN applicant (roughly)?
Some of on line answers indicated that it might take half year to a year. Is that true?
2. Can I leave the country for a short period of time to visit the family after submission of application?
3. I have been living in Canada for couple years now, do I have to provide No Criminal Record certificate from
Canada as well?
Thanks a bunch.
