It depends on your VO. Don't discourage people. I got my PPR in less than 3 months, 87 days to be precise (Rome VO). You never know when you'll get it.To all those who are waiting with too much exhaustion - let me tell you that the new standard processing timeline is 10-12 months. I got my PR after 10 months. I waited for 300 days.
Give this process at least 15 months. Don't put you life on hold. Youngsters who quit their jobs should either start learning french or do some certification course. Look for another job in your native country, tell them that your visa process can be very unexpected. Don't sit idle at home. Way too much backlog. Join the gym. Pursue a hobby. MENTALLY PREPARE yourself to WAIT. Only THAT is the magic formula.
Be in touch with IRCC via webform either once in two months or once a quarter.

It is either in your destiny or it is not. Maybe something BETTER is in your destiny. Those who believe in mysticism should consult a numerologist/astrologist - some are really good at predicting the future.........
