No, last time I called, this old lady told me it may take 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, all reasonable

Anyone here knows how soon do you have to enter/re-enter Canada to activate the permanent residency once the Visa is given to you? Also, how long is the Visa valid for? TIA
 
How long are you in canada for? Also which category you applied under?

I came in 2011 for my PhD studies. Now working full-time in a software company.

Applied under BC-PNP (paper-based). I should have applied under EE.... was just too lazy to prepare those documents. I thought the paper-based application will take about a year to only. Close to 2 year now :mad:
