Hi kitchener inland. Congrats on your landing date. As a reply to your query, here's my timeline:
App sent : Jan. 25, 2012
Starting processing on : May 22, 2012
AIP : Sept 19, 2012
Stage 2 DM : Sept 20, 2012
Landing on : Oct 15, 2012
Total waiting time from the time I sent my application up to the date of my landing : 8.5 months
Mine is simple case. Under spouse category, no dependents, no kids. We didn't hire any lawyer. Did the medical on Feb 2012. Sent the police clearance from my country in the same PR application in January 2012. Didn't pay the $490 fee yet. Will pay that when I land.
Everything came in so fast. Honestly, I was expecting to complete the whole process by 2013 because I only sent my application on January 25, 2012. But now, I can't believe that I will be landing within the next 20 hours.
OMG !
