I think Canada should learn from Australia, processing time is 3 months. No such thing as routine or non-routine, whatever your condition, get it or rejected in 3 months.
With a big gap of processing time, like some people could get it in 5 months and some 40 months, I think it's very natural for those who got it after so long would feel that they have less obligation to the country than those who got it very fast.

+1. It should take up to one year MAX. No excuse for a 2-3 year processing time.

Thanks a lot Drea,

Did you have any travel out of the country after getting your PR?

I am just trying to be positive and make an estimate how long will it take for me :)
Hello dnyfyn! Yes, I went for a 10-day vacation to Mexico + a 5-day business trip to Austria. I steered clear of the US![/b]

Congrats Drea!

Although I must confess that I feel a little bitter when I read this kind of posts as I've applied 38 months ago and haven't even been invited to take the test yet, just got an RQ after I called the call centre to find out what's up after waiting for 2 years already, so, yeah, 6 months... I envy you :)
I did my test and was given a request to translate my passport to english. it took 40 days to finish the translation and sent it express mail. called them 2 months later they said we received the envellp but we dont know whts in it as no one opened it. i was shoked. long story short almost year after my test wifh no hope.. i emailed the MP office in my area brampton. they asked me to sign a form and two days later got a call the MP office congrats me and told me be ready with 10 days u r getting ur oath ceremonay. my advice dont wait just call ur mp office they will help
